Tucked away in southeastern Duval County, this 1,177 acre ranch is an exceptional opportunity to own a piece of untouched, raw Texas dirt in a prime location. The ranch is 13 miles south of Benavides, 13 miles northeast of Hebbronville, and 19 miles northwest of Falfurrias. This secluded ranch offers the perfect setting for those looking to create their dream retreat in one of the most desirable areas of South Texas. The property is surrounded by large neighboring ranches and is private and quiet creating a "middle of nowhere" feel and a great place to escape the stresses of our modern-day world. With over a mile of county road frontage, access is easy. With its rich, red sandy loam soil, an abundance of native game and prolific groundwater, this ranch truly checks all the boxes for outdoor enthusiasts, hunters, and cattle ranchers. Whether you're looking to build, hunt, cattle ranch or simply enjoy the private, peaceful beauty of the land, this property provides the perfect canvas for a wide range of uses. This untouched landscape is an attractive mix of 70% thick, native brush and 30% open fields with scattered regrowth. The dense brush consists of Mesquite, Brazilian Bluewood, Catclaw Acacia, and Texas Persimmon, offering ideal cover for wildlife. Meanwhile, the open areas are lush with chest-high native grasses like Little Bluestem, Switchgrass, and Black Speargrass, thanks to a decade-long CRP program thats allowed the land to thrive. Most of the property sits on rich Delmita and Delfina fine sandy loam soil, one of the most desirable soil types in the region. The land also features gentle rolling topography, adding beauty and variety to the property, unlike the typically flat land that's found elsewhere in the county. According to the county's underground water district representative, this ranch is situated on top of some of the best subsurface water in the county. Currently there are two windmill wells that had been previously converted to solar. Although neither one of these water wells is currently functioning, the ranch is a prime candidate for further water development. The southern water well was drilled in 2000 to a depth of 360 feet and retrofitted in 2015 with a solar pump that produced 6 gallons per minute. The northern well, though the original drilling date is unknown, was also converted to a solar pump around 2015. At each well location there is a 20-foot diameter concrete water trough in good condition. These wells could ensure reliable water sources for wildlife and livestock and could be instrumental in future ranch developments. Known for its abundance of Bobwhite quail, the area can rival the best regions in Texas. The ranch has not been hunted in several years and the wildlife populations are flourishing. In addition to quail, you'll find healthy populations of whitetail deer, dove, and javelina. If you're in search of prime hunting land, this property offers a golden opportunity. The property has a mix of high-fenced and low-fenced boundaries, with some low-fence areas in need of repair. This entire property appears to be void of any easement and there are no mineral leases or oilfield operations, just pure, unspoiled beauty. This secluded ranch is a blank slate, ready for the next owner to bring their vision to life. With the combination of prime hunting habitat, rich soil, ample water potential, this ranch offers endless possibilities. Whether you're seeking a weekend getaway, a hunting retreat, or a full-fledged ranching operation, this property is ready for you to make it your own. Schedule a Private Showing
