Property Description

El Mezquital is a rare, turn-key tract in the heart of the South Texas Golden Triangle, near the Webb/La Salle County line. This is old-growth brush country with the kind of native habitat that has produced strong whitetail genetics for generations. Ready for the hunter, rancher, or outdoorsman who wants land that already works. IMPROVEMENTS: A well-built 2-bedroom, 2-bath home sits at the center of the ranch. Comfortable and practical: full kitchen, central air, living room with fireplace, covered parking, and outdoor patios. The fenced headquarters compound includes a brand-new metal storage building with roll-up door and electricity, plus well-built livestock corrals, water troughs, and an electric well. Perimeter fencing is a mix of high and low fence, all in good condition, with additional interior cross fencing. A good road system makes the ranch easy to get around, with recent clearing in selected areas. WATER: Two wells serve the property. The headquarters well is electric and supplies the house and nearby trough. A solar well on the north end feeds a small pond and a livestock trough. Several small creeks cross the ranch, lined with heavy brush that creates natural wildlife travel corridors. LAND: Fairly level red-dirt country gives way to thick native brush-ideal habitat for growing muy grande whitetails. Mezquital means a forest of mesquite, and the ranch lives up to the name with mature bull mesquites throughout. Recent road clearing and pipeline work have opened pockets for high-protein grass growth. WILDLIFE: Mature bucks have been harvested here for years. Beyond trophy whitetail, the ranch holds quail, turkey, dove, and javelina, along with native varmints and songbirds. MINERALS: Seller owns a small producing interest. Three pad sites are placed on the outer edges of the ranch, so the operator can access them without disturbing the interior. Seller to convey all owned minerals.
