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.
LAND:. The ranch is specifically located in the “Golden Triangle” of northeastern La Salle County approximately 5.0 miles to the west of the Community of Fowlerton. Miller lake ranch is comprised of primarily black dirt gently rolling terrain typical of portions of La Salle County. Elevations on the property range from 300 feet along the Frio River in the southern quadrant to 317 feet near the entrance/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!
