LOCATION:   In the heart of the Hill Country, 7 miles SW of Bandera, 60 miles NW of downtown San Antonio and 30 miles from Kerrville. Boerne is a quick 30 minute trip to the east. This property is located over the Trinity Aquifer on the southeastern edge of the Edwards Plateau.

GENERAL: This well managed sportsman’s paradise is jam-packed with some of the best habitat, natural features and hunting the region has to offer.

Wide, private valleys have been selectively cleared of cedar allowing the native grasses, shrubs and tree species to flourish. Flanking these valleys are densely wooded, soaring ridgelines and accessible hilltops offering forever views in all directions.

Over a mile of both sides of seasonal, rock-bottom Middle Verde Creek is on the eastern boundary of the ranch. This serves as watershed for one of the property’s recreational highlights: a clear, deep six-acre lake with lighted pier. This permanent water feature is home to healthy populations of largemouth bass, catfish and waterfowl.

Hunting on the 4L Ranch is incredible where spotting whitetail in excess of 180 inches and axis over 30 inches is commonplace. Conveying with the sale are seven executive tower blinds and feeders strategically located throughout the property and five isolated protein feeding stations in low pressure areas.  Exotics include axis, sika, red stag, blackbuck antelope and nubian ibex. Each of the last six hunting seasons have produced four or more whitetail in the 170–225 inch Boone and Crockett range. All of these trophies were large, main framed typicals, most having forked G-2’s, which has become a tell-tale genetic trait of trophy whitetail on the ranch.

The improvement compound consists of three residential structures, all a stone’s throw from one another, with a centralized indoor/outdoor kitchen and party room perfect for entertaining family, friends and clients. The main home is a 1,400-square-foot three-bedroom, two-bath rock veneered modular home. Nearby is a three-bedroom, two-bath mobile home currently used as a hunter’s cabin/guest quarters. In addition, there is a recently remodeled historic ranch home that dates back to the early 1900s and a 40’x40′ covered, concrete-floored implement barn that protects the ranch vehicles and equipment.

Equestrian Improvements include a five-stall horse barn, a tack room with an oscillating saddle wall and a set of pens. There’s also a horse walker, a 150’x300’ top-rail pipe and cedar stay arena with a round pen and a ride-up cantina/bunkhouse with half-bath.

SUMMARY:If you’ve been searching for your very own private Hill Country paradise, call Bluestem Ranch Group today. We think you’ll agree that the 4L Ranch is the best valued hunting/recreational ranch currently on the market in Bandera County.

Agua Poquita West

2173 Acres – Duval County

Location/History:  Agua Poquita West is located on HWY 359 between Hebbronville and Benavides in southern Duval County.  Laredo is a 1hr 20 minute drive to the west and Corpus is short 1 ½  hour drive to the east. The property is not located within the Eagle Ford Shale fairway and there is no oilfield activity on the ranch.

Having been tightly held in the same family for generations, this South Texas gem is being offered for the first time in over 80 years.  Believed to be once a part of what was the +/- 22,000 acre Ball Ranch, the Agua Poquita West is located in an area of South Texas brimming with ranching history. 

The immediate area is dominated by large cattle and hunting operations. Contiguous neighbors include a +/- 10,000 acre ranch to the south, +/- 6,000 acre ranch to the north and a +/-3,300 acre ranch to the east. 

General:  The property is rectangular in shape, with about 2.3 miles of frontage along HWY 359.  The entire western boundary along HWY 359 is high fenced as well as the entire northern boundary.   In addition to the West and North being completely high fenced, there is +/- 1,000 ft of high fencing along the southern boundary as well. The high fence along the highway was intentionally built 12 ft inside the surveyed property boundary to add privacy. An older 4 ft. strand barb wire fence, as well areas of mature brush, serve as a buffer zone from highway traffic. 

Over the years, the owners have primarily utilized the ranch as part of a rotational cattle grazing operation.  The ranch is currently being rested, and there is abundant native grasses found throughout the property.  There is an exceptional road and sendero system that opens up the ranch and keeps biological balance by promoting new forb growth.  Vegetation consist of a variety of high protein brush including mesquite, persimmon, guajillo, blackbrush, brazil, cenizo and desert yaupon.

The deer hunting has not been leased commercially, and the natural genetics in this part of Duval County are touted as some of the best in the state.  There has been a successful on-going wildlife management program in practice for over a decade, employing only native genetics.  In addition to whitetail deer, it’s not uncommon to flush numerous coveys of bobwhite quail. With the help of mother-nature last year and due to the lack of hunting pressure on the ranch, these birds have thrived.  Being located within the Special White-winged Dove area, hunters will have ample opportunity to sharpen their wing shooting skills by partaking in any or all of the 4 different dove season options.  In addition to game species, hogs, javelina, and a variety of other varmint call this place home.
