On the Cover: Brazos River Ranch

The ranch features an excellent mixture of improved pasture and native pasture, a heavily wooded area consisting of various oaks, elms, cedar and some mesquite, as well as some rockier high ground on Barber Mountain. There is a wide variety of soil types on the ranch, however the majority of the soils are variations of some type of sandy loam. The property is currently being used for agricultural and recreational purposes; the sellers are currently running cattle on the ranch.

Featured Listing: Back Porch Ranch

Back Porch Ranch is situated in the Texas Hill Country, approximately two-and-a-half hours west of San Antonio or one hour east of Del Rio. Starting with a blank slate, the current owners have spent the last 13 years transforming the property into what it is today, a first-class Texas hunting and recreational getaway. Opportunities to entertain are endless with the Back Porch at Elk Lodge, sitting in the saloon, the African palapa or on the skeet deck with your friends. With many miles of ranch roads and scenic views, you never tire of the beauty and wildlife.

On the Cover: Cliff Point Estates

Just over a five-hour flight from the West Coast, I was surprised that Alaska was that close. I had always thought it was just a quick hop over the Bering Sea to Russia. But it was a smooth flight on Alaskan Air that brought us to the much larger than anticipated Kodiak Island, about 3,500 square miles in size. As hub of the U.S. Coast Guard’s largest station, Kodiak Island reminded me of many of the small towns I’ve visited on the Oregon coast. Charming shops, harbor sounds and restaurants serving fresh seafood that line a small wharf and cannery row. Uncommercialized and still raw in nature, Kodiak offers the “real deal,” a life on the water with people that are welcoming and authentic.

Erratic U.S. Markets Shine a Favorable Light on This Age-Old Investment Vehicle: LAND

From its inception, Whitetail Properties positioned itself as a company focused solely on the buying and selling of land. Their real estate agents are known as Land Specialists, and the success of the company speaks to the favorability of land as an investment vehicle. It also underlines the void that existed in the land real estate market. Land buyers and sellers needed easy access to Land Specialists with expert knowledge of land.
