Agua grande means “big water.” Fed by more than 30 springs, year-round Live Oak Creek, which bisects the 17,132± acre Rancho Agua Grande for about seven miles, is indeed big water. Located about 25 miles northwest of Uvalde and just two hours west of San Antonio, Rancho Agua Grande is one of the largest live water ranches for sale in Texas today.
Both banks of Live Oak Creek lie within the ranch’s borders ensuring complete, private access. The creek’s flow is slowed and pooled by 10 dams. Numerous lakes dot the landscape. Ground water is equally abundant. Water wells have been punched throughout the ranch.
Both Boiling Mountain, the highest peak in Uvalde County, and Salmon Peak, the highest point in Kinney County, are located on Rancho Agua Grande, adding craggy grandeur. The rugged hills and deep canyons contrast with the shady pecan creek bottom.
Wildlife
Because three ecoregions converge on the high-fenced ranch, the vegetation is diverse. Between 2007 and 2010, more than 10,000 acres of cedar were cleared.
Rancho Agua Grande, run primarily as an exclusive hunting operation, has been the site of numerous high-profile hunting shows. More than 60 species of wildlife ranging from rare exotics to trophy whitetails call the ranch home.
Lodging and Living
The ranch’s main residence, an expansive custom-designed, two-story rock house, is sited near the ranch’s geographic center. Secluded and private, the home, which is resplendent with high-end finishes, overlooks Live Oak Creek.
Eight mid-19th century cabins, transplanted from the mountains of Kentucky, have been restored to provide unique guest lodging.
The 6,000± square foot lodge, featuring an antique bar, dance floor and bandstand, is the perfect place to celebrate. The lodge easily accommodates 250 people. By using the additional 2,300± square feet of covered porches, the guest list can swell.
Agua Grande has a 5,800-foot by 75-foot instrument-marked, painted and lighted runway. Other ranch infrastructure includes: two additional three bedroom and one bath cabins, numerous equipment sheds and storage buildings as well as a meat processing room with a walk-in cooler.
