Norsworthy Ranch

8,499 Acres – Val Verde Co.

In the far reaches of northwestern Texas, just 1.5 miles south of the historic ghost town of Pandale, lies one of the most extraordinary river ranches in the state. Encompassing approximately 8,499 acres and held in single-family ownership for more than 40 years, this legacy property offers an unmatched combination of accessible Lower Pecos River frontage, rich prehistoric history, abundant wildlife, reliable water infrastructure, and well-built functional improvements — all set within an extremely private and untouched landscape.

The defining feature and true crown jewel of Norsworthy Ranch is its two miles of pristine frontage along one of the most beautiful stretches of the Lower Pecos River, 2.7 river miles south of the Pandale Crossing. Unlike many river properties defined by sheer bluffs and inaccessibility, much of this frontage is gentle, usable, and easy to enjoy. The river here delivers exactly what discerning recreational ranch buyers seek: deep, turquoise blue swimming holes exceeding 20 feet in depth and width, fast-moving shallow rapids, dramatic limestone canyon walls, and remarkable privacy without sacrificing access. Widely regarded as one of the cleanest natural freshwater rivers in the country, this stretch of the Lower Pecos offers exceptional swimming, fishing, paddling, and quiet enjoyment in a setting that feels untouched by time.

The Pecos River has served as a lifeline for thousands of years. No river in Texas — and few in the United States — passes through as many sites of prehistoric human habitation. Paleo-Indians once lived in these canyons, leaving behind ancient rock art in caves and shelters throughout the region. On Norsworthy Ranch, caves along a major rock canyon feeding into the river show signs of possible prehistoric habitation, connecting the land to one of North America’s most culturally significant archaeological landscapes. Ownership in this region represents more than just land acquisition, but stewardship of history.

The ranch’s 8,499± acres offer exceptional hunting opportunities across rugged canyon country and native brushland. Native species include whitetail deer, blue quail, mourning dove, turkey, javelina, and mountain lion. Non-native species include aoudad sheep, feral hogs, and the occasional black bear. Approximately 80% of the perimeter is low-fenced, with high fencing along the northern boundary. Native plant species observed across the ranch include persimmon, mesquite, huisache, mountain laurel, prickly pear, ocotillo, sotol, cedar, shin oak, guayacan, and tasajillo — all contributing to healthy habitat and ecological diversity.

Water infrastructure is a particularly valuable asset in this arid, low-rainfall region of northwestern Val Verde County. The ranch is equipped with five functional domestic water wells, with several additional wells capable of being serviced and returned to operation. Domestic wells show static water levels around 200 feet below the surface and produce approximately 5-15 gallons per minute. Two 30,000-gallon Pioneer water storage tanks support the ranch’s residential and operational improvements, providing both reliability and long-term sustainability.

All structural improvements are positioned in close proximity to one another near the main entrance off Langtry Rd. The main ranch home, originally built in the 1960s, encompasses approximately 2,523 square feet and features a classic limestone exterior with a standing seam metal roof. Extended covered front porches invite relaxed country living. Inside, an open-concept living and kitchen area showcases Saltillo tile flooring in the kitchen, custom hardwood cabinetry, tiled countertops and backsplash, and bar seating for casual dining. Hardwood floors run throughout the living areas and bedrooms. The focal point of the living room is a wood-burning stove set upon a raised natural stone hearth, framed by a dramatic floor-to-ceiling stone accent wall. A walk-behind bar enhances the lodge-style atmosphere. The home offers two large bedrooms and three baths, with wood-burning stoves in each bedroom, an attached two-car garage, and a fenced backyard. A rock water fountain and concrete wildlife trough add charm and functionality to the exterior.

A second residence, built in 1970 and measuring approximately 1,660 square feet, provides additional accommodations This vintage mid-century stucco home includes two bedrooms and two baths. Its kitchen features dark-stained flat-front wood cabinetry, brown hexagonal tile flooring, and exposed red brick elements that preserve its authentic character.

Equestrian and operational facilities are equally impressive. A horse barn built in 2017 features steal beam construction with a metal roof and a wide concrete center breezeway. Eight stalls with pipe runs release into a pipe-fenced three-acre irrigated grazing field. Priefert stall fronts with stucco divider walls create durable, comfort for horses. Opposite the stalls, a finished laundry room and an air-conditioned residential bunk room with kitchenette and bath provide functional versatility. Several additional barns across the compound offer ample equipment storage. A newer, clean single-wide mobile home near the main entrance houses the resident ranch manager and provides oversight and security.

The balance of the ranch is expansive, dramatic, and private. Wide-open views stretch across rugged canyon terrain and native brush country. Large neighboring ranches and long-range undeveloped vistas reinforce the sense of isolation that defines this part of Texas. The property has no present or past oilfield surface activity and is void of oil and gas pipeline easements — a rare and increasingly valuable attribute. At night, the dark skies are brilliant, uninterrupted by artificial light, creating a setting that feels truly removed from the modern world.

Norsworthy Ranch is more than acreage — it is river, canyon, wildlife, water, history, and infrastructure woven together across 8,499± acres of extraordinary terrain. Properties offering this combination of accessible Lower Pecos River frontage, archaeological significance, abundant hunting, strong water resources, and well-maintained improvements rarely come to market.

For those seeking value in a generational ranch defined by water, heritage, and untamed beauty, Norsworthy Ranch stands as a singular opportunity in Val Verde County, Texas.

Miller Lake Ranch

280 Acres – La Salle Co.

280 acre sportsman paradise minutes from Fowlerton, TX in the Golden Triangle. Rare opportunity to get a trophy whitetail low fenced ranch along the Frio River. This wildlife haven has two major water features that have fueled excellent wildlife habitat for deer, turkey, ducks, quail, javelina and much more…..allowing for year round hunting opportunities.

WATER: Along the South property boundary is the Frio River; which part of the ranch has both sides of the river. The beautiful old growth oak, pecan, and mesquite trees provide a tremendous canopy above typical South Texas high protein browse. This serves as a wildlife highway and a truly unique feature for parcels of this size. Second is the approximately 10 acre slough in the middle of the ranch that is referred to on many maps as “Miller Lake.” This natural depression catches the overflow of the Frio River during wet periods and holds water for extended periods of time. (These pictures were taken early April with almost 10 months of no meaningful rainfall). The current owners recently cleaned the slough out with heavy equipment. Also conveying with the sale are deeded divergent water rights allowing the new owner to impound 117 acre feet of water. This ranch also has a recently serviced domestic water well powered by solar panel that services the campsite.

The ranch is 85% old growth South Texas Brush Country with good roads and many senderos throughout the property that allow for easy hunting and travel. Typical vegetation found on the ranch includes mesquite, prickly pear, whitebrush, tasajillo, twisted acacia, granjeno, guayacan, wild persimmon, huisache, etc. There are large live oak trees, cedar elm trees, and hackberry trees along the Frio River, various sloughs and tributaries of the Frio River, and Miller Lake. The ranch has not been grazed with livestock in years allowing for native grasses to flourish in the open areas. 160 class bucks and 20+ animals at the feeds are common on this ranch every hunting season!

IMPROVEMENTS: Miller Lake Ranch has a practical campsite at the North East corner of the property. Electricity by Medina Electric services a nice utility 3-sided barn with RV plugs. 3 new tower all weather blinds with corn feeders and large protein feeder convey with sale. There is a built up house pad with caliche ready for a permanent structure in this area as well.

The rest of the ranch is made up of deeper soil hills that change in elevation approximately 80′. Multiple spots throughout the ranch provide 360 degree views of the small mountains in the Highland Lakes region. Recent dozer work and spring rains have allowed native grasses to return while still leaving great cover and browse for wildlife. In the middle of the ranch is a beautiful pond approximately 1.5 acres in size when full.

WATER/ELECTRICITY: The ranch is well watered with 2 water wells, both serviced via submersible pump and solar panel. These wells are connected to multiple water troughs throughout the ranch.

TAXES: Gold Dust ranch is under an ag-exemption via livestock grazing.

46 Lewis Road – Boerne, TX

34 acres – Kendall Co.

SOLD

Price Improvement on 10/15/2025

Just seven miles north of the vibrant Hill Country town of Boerne lies a property that feels worlds away. Welcome to 46 Lewis Road—a serene 34-acre retreat where history, nature, and modern comforts come together to create a rare offering in the Texas Hill Country.

At the end of a quiet paved road, an electric gated entrance welcomes you in. As the limestone drive unfolds, the land reveals itself in dramatic fashion: a sweeping seven-acre native grass meadow framed by majestic live oaks, many of them more than a century old. These towering trees create both privacy and an undeniable sense of timelessness, as though you’ve stepped into a hidden sanctuary.

The land itself is as practical as it is picturesque. In addition to the meadow, a three acre field and a 2.5 acre enclosed horse pasture provide ample space for livestock or equestrian pursuits. Rich, productive soils are blanketed in thick native grasses, ideally suited for horses, cattle, or simply preserving the natural landscape. A six-stall horse barn, complete with tack room and hot/cold wash bay, along with cross-fencing and turnout areas, make the property horse ready. For those seeking a self-sufficient lifestyle, there are two chicken coops, a greenhouse and a deer-proof garden with its own shed and arbor trellis with a bench, table, and chairs that create a charming outdoor reflection spot during fall planting and spring harvest seasons. Additional improvements include a dog kennel with office and finished storage space above, and the property’s original 1-room historic structure—now cleverly converted into a laundry room.

At the heart of the estate stands a piece of Hill Country history: a 1,407 sq. ft. German rock home, originally built in the 1800s and fully remodeled in 2018. The restoration honors the home’s historic charm while updating every structural and functional element for modern comfort. Natural textures, warm finishes, and classic design give the interiors a timeless quality, worthy of a feature in Southern Living. The home is served by its own private water well and a conventional septic system, providing independence and peace of mind.

Flowing from the living room’s double French doors—or directly from the kitchen—a screened-in back porch offers yet another space to enjoy the setting. Handmade tile, comfortable seating, and screened protection from the elements make this a year-round sanctuary for morning coffee, quiet reading, or evening conversation.

In 2018, an expansive outdoor deck was thoughtfully added, complete with an outdoor kitchen, sitting area, and fire pit. This space extends the living area into the open air, where you can gather under the stars and savor the quiet beauty of the Texas Hill Country.

A short stone’s throw from the main house, tucked high in the embrace of a 100-year-old oak, is a tastefully finished treehouse retreat. Outfitted with a fold-out couch, this unique space can serve as a magical hideaway for children, a quiet spot to read, or even a spiritual sanctuary for adults seeking stillness among the branches.

Wildlife is abundant, with whitetail and free-ranging axis deer, along with a chorus of songbirds that fill the air. The dark skies overhead are untouched by city lights, offering breathtaking stargazing opportunities.

If you’ve been searching for a Hill Country escape—a place where the pace slows, where history whispers through ancient oaks, and where modern life fades into the background—46 Lewis Road is an invitation to reconnect with nature, heritage, and peace.

List Price: ~~$1,595,000~~ $1,565,000. Co-Listed with David Faust, Broker. Seller to provide existing survey and standard title policy.

A branch of Borrego Creek bisects the ranch creating big brush, and water impoundment opportunity. Currently there are 2 bodies of surface water, one is a acre tank and the second is a 3-4 acre lake. Along this drainage and on the southern portion of the ranch are scattered Live Oak trees scattered throughout the ranch that add to the hardwood mix. The ranch is cross-fenced into 4 pastures, with the 2 northernmost pastures being in heavy native grass cover with re-growth mesquite and huisache. If additional grazing land was desired, it wouldn’t take much to get these 2 pastures back into +/- 27 acres of grass.

Less than an hour from San Antonio, this 175-acre South Texas ranch offers the perfect blend of privacy, elegance, and natural beauty. A hilltop 4,900 sq ft home overlooks a private lake and rolling brush country, accessed by a scenic paved drive through oaks and native wildlife habitat. With prime hunting, grazing potential, and a timeless residence ready to enjoy or modernize, this property is a rare opportunity for refined country living.

Peña Creek Ranch

2,427 acres – Dimmit Co.

Peña Creek Ranch is a true Dimmit County gem, offering 2,427 acres of prime hunting, grazing, and recreational land located in the renowned “golden triangle” just 3.5 miles northwest of the town of Carrizo Springs. The ranch is easily accessible via paved Tocquiny Road and also has over 1,900 feet of frontage along the west side of HWY 277. This property has been enjoyed by the same family for over 30 years and is now available for its next steward.

The ranch features an impressive combination of diverse terrain with over 2 miles of both sides of Peña Creek. Approximately half of the surface resembles the iconic King Ranch or Hebbronville sand-sheet region, covered with hearty grasses, scattered mesquite motts and sandy loam soil ideally suited for bobwhite quail which are regularly seen on tours. The central third of the ranch is comprised of a classic south Texas mix of high protein browse species, essential for growing big whitetail deer. The entire ranch can be utilized for grazing livestock which is what the property has been utilized for in recent years. Perimeter fencing is in good condition with approximately 75% being high-fence and the remaining 25% being low-fenced. Neighboring ranches are mostly large, long-time family-owned ranches, with a few smaller tracts along Tocquiny Road.

Peña Creek Ranch has not been actively hunted or managed for game in over three years, creating a prime opportunity for new owners to enjoy abundant native game including whitetail deer, javelina, hogs, bobwhite quail and dove as well as the occasional exotic including audad and axis deer. From encounters on recent tours, the native game numbers appear to be healthy. The southern +/- 600 acre pasture along with the northern +/- 600 acre pastures are relatively open, sandy mesquite mott terrain that any quail enthusiast will tell you is ideal for dog hunting. The central +/- 1200 acres is primo deer habitat with firmer red dirt and a tasty mix of high protein browse species needed to grow book deer.

The ranch boasts significant water resources both surface and subsurface, including over 2 miles of Peña Creek, which bisects the property and provides diverse wildlife habitat with its large, tree-lined banks. There is also a large, 10+ acre lake with a pier, along with four additional surface tanks that have maintained impressive water levels despite lack of runoff. These surface tanks have proven reliable and helped sustain wildlife and livestock throughout our current drought conditions. There is a total of three domestic water wells, and two unequipped Carrizo Irrigation wells. All 3 domestic wells are functioning and operate with electric submersible pumps. There are 2 drilled and cased Carrizo irrigation wells located in the center portion of the ranch. These wells were previously used to supplement fresh water to the 10+ acre lake. The ability to maintain water levels of the lake via irrigation water create incredible value in the form of real deal water enjoyment and recreation including fishing, boating, swimming, and jet skiing.

The improvements on the ranch, while dated, are functional and provide comfortable accommodations. The original two-story rock house, built in the 1930s, offers three bedrooms and one bath, with a small kitchen and dining area. In the 1980s, a 2,400 sqft addition was added, featuring an open-concept living and dining area, large master suite, and a utility room with washer/dryer. A spacious covered deck area is perfect for relaxing and enjoying the views. There’s also a separate 3-bedroom, 1-bath bunkhouse, several equipment barns, and a game processing area with a walk-in cooler—perfect for processing harvested game.

Additional highlights include the large concrete storage trough, which could be converted into a swimming pool, and ample opportunities for cattle grazing on the rich sandy soils. Though the property is currently under mineral lease, there are no active wells or production, and the ranch has 8 assumed orphaned wells, abandoned by a previous operator.

If you are seeking the best opportunities South Texas has to offer for native quail and deer, you’d be hard pressed to find a ranch with a better natural habitat. With a little TLC and vision, the Peña Creek Ranch has the potential to be a first-class hunting destination with the added bonus of irrigation fed water recreation and location that’s a hop-skip from town.

List Price: $2,995/acre or $7,269,000. Minerals Negotiable. Seller to provide existing survey and standard title policy. Some ranch equipment may be available for purchase via bill of sale. Although there is no current drilling or production, a portion of the ranch is under option of an O&G mineral lease. Please contact listing broker for additional information regarding oil and gas activity and mineral ownership.
