exceptional wildlife habitat.
The northern section, which includes 425 acres, has been intensively managed for trophy native whitetails since the mid-90s. It is operated under a MLDP-Level III permit. There are six bulk feeders, 12 spin feeders and 12 hunting blinds. Trophy axis and blackbuck also roam the hills.
For the past nine years, hunting has been limited to family and friends. Prior to that, the ranch was a commercial hunting operation and could be easily transitioned back.

limitless potential.
The ranch features a north and south headquarters which offer limitless potential for a private or commercial retreat. The centerpiece of the north headquarters is the custom-designed home, located on a ridge to take full advantage of the views of Enchanted Rock.

Rock walkways connect the house to the nearby pool and patio area. An adjacent chinked cedar cabin serves as a separate guest house.
The hunting lodge, a converted vintage barn that was recently remodeled, anchors a separate compound. In addition to three downstairs bedrooms with three private baths, the second-story bunkhouse can sleep up to eight people. The second story also has a kitchenette, a gathering space and bath facilities. It has a large downstairs living room/game room and full kitchen as well as an outdoor gathering area with a gazebo, barbecue area, swimming pool and fire pit. The original farmhouse, dating back to the early 20th century, delivers additional lodging for either guests or staff, and an old country store transported from Central Texas provides a perfect gathering spot for hunters and sightseeing guests. It has a game processing area as well as a walk-in cooler and provides ample storage space for equipment.
At the southern headquarters, the expansive main house is built on the limestone bones of a circa-1900 German farmhouse and nestled into a beautiful grove of oak trees. The pool and patio area is the centerpiece of the outdoor gathering area with a panorama of gorgeous Hill Country views. A small house, adjacent to the barn, could be updated and utilized for additional guests or staff.
