The Bullhead Ranch is 800 acres of high-fenced, South Texas brush country located less than 15 minutes from the town of Freer, TX in Duval County. The ranch has 1.3 miles of frontage on State Highway 16 and 0.65 miles on Los Lomas Ranch Rd, with access off both. It sits in one of South Texas's premier deer hunting regions, known for dense native brush and a long-standing reputation among hunters and ranchers. IMPROVEMENTS: The headquarters area sits atop one of the high points on the ranch, offering great 360 degree views of the surrounding countryside, with both water and electricity already in place. Improvements at the HQ include a large 4,500 square-foot barn/shop with an attached carport area, a skinning shed, and a walk-in cooler. There is also a large set of older pipe cattle pens on the ranch. The ranch is entirely high fenced, giving the future owner a solid foundation on which to build a fantastic hunting operation. WATER: Two operational water wells serve the ranch. The headquarters well supplies the HQ area and three water troughs throughout the property, with a supplemental line running to a stock tank to help keep it filled through dry periods. A second well, powered by a solar pump with a 2,500-gallon poly storage tank, feeds a single water trough, its overflow line running a short distance to a small stock tank. A third stock tank sits by the cattle pens, near an older well that is no longer in use and whose condition is unknown. The region averages 20-22 inches of annual rainfall. ELECTRICITY: Electricity is supplied by AEP, with one meter at the HQ serving the property. WILDLIFE: Wildlife is typical of South Texas brush country: White-tailed Deer, Quail, and Dove. LAND: Freer and Duval County are known for their browse-heavy plant species, which is what makes it such strong deer country. Mesquite, Huisache, Black Brush, White Brush, Guajilla and several varieties of pear cactus are found on the ranch, alongside grasses such as Buffelgrass, Little Bluestem, Windmill, and Buffalograss. The terrain is gently rolling across the property, with elevation ranging from 640ft on the southeast side to 750ft on the northwest side. Soils are predominately sandy loam. Several areas have been recently cleared to open things up, improving grazing, visibility, and movement across the property. Together, this combination of South Texas brush, grasses, topography and water distribution create ideal habitat for wildlife. The option to purchase smaller acreage is available. LOCATION: Less than 15 minutes from Freer, 2 hours from San Antonio, 2 hours from McAllen, 3 hours from Austin, 4 hours from Houston. TAXES: Ag-Exempt NOTES: 800 acres - entirely high fenced. Highway 16 & County Road Frontage. Smaller acreage is available.
