Bullhead Mountain Ranch encompasses approximately 1,266 acres of prime Hill Country terrain in western Real County, offering an outstanding combination of live water, scenic beauty, and high-quality improvements. Anchored by Bullhead Creek, a clear, spring-fed tributary of the Nueces River that flows year-round through the property, the ranch captures the rugged charm and natural appeal of the Edwards Plateau. Behind the lodge, a limestone bluff overlooks the valley below, offering sweeping views of the surrounding Hill Country. This area is rich with history and once served as a major campsite for Spanish soldiers traveling through the region. Some say that Bullhead Mountain conceals buried coins and gold, untouched for generations, giving this part of the ranch an undeniable sense of history and mystery. The land features a mix of rolling pastures, wooded creek bottoms, and elevated ridges with sweeping views of the surrounding canyons. Towering pecan and live oak trees line the creek, while cedar, native brush, and grasses provide excellent wildlife habitat. With its blend of agricultural utility, recreational opportunity, and residential comfort, Bullhead Mountain Ranch offers both function and retreat in a private yet accessible setting. The Bullhead Ranch consists of the Henry Ranch (810.58 acres) and The Diamond J Ranch (455.59 acres) which can be purchased separately. Elevation ranges from roughly 1,640 feet along Bullhead Creek to about 1,960 feet at the western ridges, providing striking Hill Country vistas. The topography transitions from gentle bottomlands and pastures near the creek to rugged uplands featuring limestone outcrops and scenic canyons. Soils vary from fertile Pratley Clay and Dev River Wash complexes in the creek valley to rocky Campwood-Knippa and Real Oplin complexes on higher ground - ideal for wildlife and livestock management rather than cultivation. The diverse terrain not only enhances the beauty of the property but also supports excellent wildlife cover and multiple potential homesites. Bullhead Mountain Ranch features two well-appointed residential compounds along RR 2631. The primary lodge, approximately 4,868 sq ft, is a single-story home with five bedrooms, three and a half baths, and a spacious great room with vaulted ceilings and a stone fireplace. The home includes a formal dining room, large kitchen with built-in appliances, sunroom, and outdoor living areas including covered porches, a rear patio, and a fire pit. Two detached three-car garages-one with guest quarters and full bath-along with storage buildings, a well house, and other ranch infrastructure complete this compound. A second stone-veneer residence offers 2,756 sq ft across three levels, featuring five bedrooms and three baths, a wood-burning fireplace, den with wood stove, and multiple porches and patios overlooking the scenic surroundings. Supporting improvements include a foreman's house (approximately 993 sq ft, three bedrooms, two baths), equipment sheds (about 4,000 sq ft and 2,400 sq ft), barns, working pens, feed bins, and secure storage including a gun room and walk-in game cooler. All improvements are in good condition, well-maintained, and designed for both comfortable living and practical ranch operations. Bullhead Creek is the defining feature of the ranch, flowing year-round with clear, spring-fed water and deep pools shaded by sycamore, pecan, and oak trees. Several wet-weather draws feed into the creek, enriching the ecosystem and enhancing its beauty. Domestic and livestock water is supplied by private wells serving the residential and ranch facilities. The combination of surface and groundwater resources supports a strong balance of residential, agricultural, and recreational use throughout the property. Bullhead Mountain Ranch supports abundant white-tailed deer, aoudad, axis deer, blackbuck antelope, feral hogs, and wild turkey, as well as native birds and small game.

It fronts on both sides of RR 2631 near the junction with FM 335, providing excellent paved-road access. Although legally within Real County, the ranch is more closely associated with Edwards County due to proximity and travel routes. The location offers convenient access to nearby Hill Country communities, including Camp Wood, Leakey, and Rocksprings, while larger cities such as Kerrville, Uvalde, and San Antonio are within reasonable driving distance for supplies, dining, and regional services. TERRAIN: Elevation on the ranch ranges from roughly 1,680 feet in the southeast to nearly 1,960 feet at higher western points. The land exhibits rolling to rough Hill Country topography, intersected by scenic draws and seasonal drainages that feed Bullhead Creek. Portions along the creek lie within a floodplain typical for the area but contribute to fertile soil and lush riparian growth. Soils consist primarily of Pratley Clay Complex near the creek and rocky Real Oplin Complex outcrops on the uplands. The varied terrain creates sweeping views, excellent wildlife cover, and multiple ideal building sites. IMPROVEMENTS: Improvements are situated on the north side of RR 2631 in a well-developed residential compound. The primary residence is a three-level, 2,756-square-foot stone-veneer home featuring five bedrooms and three bathrooms. The first floor includes a living room with a wood-burning fireplace, dining room, kitchen, mudroom, den with a wood stove. The second floor offers two large bunk rooms with a shared full bath, while the lower level includes a small game room. Covered porches and patios provide shaded outdoor living areas, and a detached utility and storage building includes a secure gun room and a walk-in game cooler. A separate foreman's house provides 993 square feet of living area with three bedrooms and two baths, complemented by a detached four-car carport and enclosed storage space. Additional outbuildings include two large equipment sheds (approximately 4,000 sq. ft. and 2,400 sq. ft.), barns, working pens, and feed bins, all well-maintained and functional for ranch operations. WATER: The ranch is bisected by Bullhead Creek, a major tributary of the Nueces River that flows year-round through the property and provides an outstanding live-water feature. Several wet-weather draws also traverse the land. Domestic and livestock water are supplemented by wells serving the residential compound. The live water and riparian vegetation add aesthetic appeal and strong habitat value. WILDLIFE: Henry Ranch supports a thriving wildlife population including Whitetail Deer, Aoudad, Axis Deer, and feral hogs, along with native birds and small game. The varied topography, plentiful water, and wooded creek bottoms make it a prime hunting and recreation property. SUMMARY: Henry Ranch is a premier live-water Hill Country property offering 810 acres of rolling terrain, quality improvements, and exceptional recreational value. Located just outside Vance with paved access and minutes from Rocksprings, the ranch showcases the natural beauty of Bullhead Creek.

IMPROVEMENTS: The primary residence is a single-story lodge of approximately 4,868 sq ft featuring five bedrooms, three and a half baths, a large great room with vaulted ceiling and wood-burning fireplace, formal dining, and a well-equipped kitchen with built-in appliances.
