Terrain: Seco Valley Ranch is made up of 2 distinct geographical areas, the western portion of the ranch is approximately 2500 +- acres of what is known as the highly desirable transition area. This area is a mix of deep soiled bottom land adequate for food plots or cultivated fields, level to gently sloping land with huge live oak stands and the Seco Creek watershed. The Seco Creek Valley is one of the most important Edwards Aquifer recharge areas in the Hill country and approximately 1.8 miles of both sides of Seco Creek transverses the entire ranch from north to south. Along the creek a SAWs recharge dam was constructed to impound and divert water from the main channel of the creek into a recharge cave, pouring millions of gallons of water into the Edwards aquifer during rains. The creek bottom is lined with huge Oaks, Cedar Elm, hackberry , mesquite and a variety of brush and grasses providing excellent habitat and nesting grounds for the huge numbers of native wildlife that inhabit the area; including Whitetail, Hogs, Javelina, Quail, Dove, multiple variety of varmits include Fox, Ringtail cat, Coyote, Raccoons and Bobcat. Waterfowl include cranes, ducks and geese certain times of the year, several species of birds of prey and dozens of varieties of birds nest along the creek. Signs of Indian Campgrounds are scattered throughout the ranch and are very oblivious along the once flowing creek bottoms.
The eastern portion of the ranch is approximately 2100 acres of pure Texas Hill Country with deep draws, high hills, rolling country, steep canyons, rugged bluffs, hardwood lined valleys and 2.7 miles of seasonal Parker creek runs through this area of the ranch from North to South. Parker creek offers sheer rock bluffs, huge limestone boulders, small caves, unique limestone outcroppings, lined with huge Live Oak, Cedar Elm and Blue Oak. Areas of the ranch have been selectively cleared of cedar but the majority of the ranch is medium to heavy cover that provides excellent habitat and nesting areas for the native game. Hunting is exceptional with native Whitetail, Hogs, Turkey, Javelina, Aoudad sheep, Quail and Dove. The ranch is surrounded by large neighbors with little population in the area making the ranch an outstanding opportunity for aerial hog hunting operation.
