The ranch is located among the brush-covered hills of a South Texas region known for the quality of its game, nourished by the abundance of high-protein brushes and rich soils. The quality of the area’s whitetail deer are particularly notable, with the ranch’s native herd having been under intensive and careful management for the past nine years.
With the majority of the ranch (1,700 acres) is encircled with ten miles of game-proof fencing, Caballo Creek Ranch is a veritable outdoorsman’s paradise that will offer the new owner year-round hunting opportunities. Other game on the range include wild hogs, bobwhite quail, Rio Grande turkeys and dove. The property’s two miles of Nueces River frontage offers fishing for species including catfish, alligator gar, carp and bass.
Caballo Creek Ranch sits about 1.5 hours south of San Antonio and 60 miles northwest of Corpus Christi, with convenient access from area highways and well-maintained gravel roads and paths throughout the ranch. The ranch’s main home and headquarters offers comfortable living space plus facilities for hosting guests and managing ranch equipment and activities.
