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 Pena 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.
Pena 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 Pena 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. Theres also a separate 3-bedroom, 1-bath bunkhouse, several equipment barns, and a game processing area with a walk-in coolerperfect 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 this speaks to you or your client, reach out today to discuss this offering in more detail.
