Historically this ranch was once part of the well known La Perla Ranch and is now part of the La Perla Ranch Subdivision which will soon have access to a new runway! It is located in an area known to consistently produce trophy caliber whitetails as seen in game camera pictures. The ranch is slightly irregular in shape and fronts on the deeded easement known as the "loop road" of the La Perla Ranch Subdivision. The focal point of the ranch would have to be the HUGE LAKE which is nicely located near the middle of the property. The topography of the land is rolling hills with many creek drainages. All these riparian areas create excellent cover and browse for the wildlife. There is an excellent road system accessing just about anywhere you want to go. The ranch is void of your typical ranch debris and trash....it is extremely clean and very pleasing to the eye. The property is mostly native pasture and brush with some scattered food plots and small clearings. The ranch may be divided as small as 500 acres per the owner.

Water:

A MASSIVE lake that historically averages 20-25 acres and is capable of holding over 50 surface acres is the focal point of the ranch. This lake has excellent bass fishing and incredible waterfowl hunting as well! It has been stocked with Florida largemouth, golden shiners, and perch. The current owner has released bass over 10 pounds into the lake! A body of water this size is extremely rare in this area of Texas and would cost a fortune to build today. WATER RIGHTS!!! The ranch also comes with 7+/- acre feet irrigation/mining of deeded water rights from the Rio Grande. The ranch is extremely well watered via a system of 3 +/- miles of underground water lines piped to low maintenance water troughs. The house is serviced by the same waterlines that service the remainder of the ranch.

Improvements:

Nestled near the middle of the ranch perched on a hilltop overlooking the large lake is a very nice covered 3BR 2BA mobile home with a large shaded front porch w hot tub! Next to the mobile home there is a 70'x50'metal building that includes very nice bunkroom with bath and shower as well as storage and walk in cooler. The breezeway area between the barn and porches are all concrete! From the porch on a clear day you can see mountains in Mexico that are 60+ miles away! The covered porch provides plenty of shade for you to enjoy a nice cold beverage while soaking in the lake views and sunsets. The ranch is completely high fenced and it is in excellent condition.

Wildlife/Hunting:

The ranch is totally set up for hunting including corn and protein feeders inside of pens as well as bow blinds and rifle blinds. The ranch has an excellent population of whitetail deer and has been strictly managed for quality over the last 8 years. There has been an intense focus on shooting management deer and many of the trophy caliber bucks have been left to grow and mature as evidenced in the pictures. The ranch has been featured on numerous TV Shows as recent as 2013. Those shows include Mathews TV w Dave Watson, Hank Parker, and Spiritual Outdoors with Dr. Jimmy Sites. The ranch is a consistent producer of deer that score in excess of 150. The largest buck harvested to date scored 170" w 40" mass. Many of the deer shown in the marketing pictures are from Aug 2013 trail cam pics. Hogs, Ducks, Geese, Sandhill Cranes, and your typical South Texas varmints can also be found on the ranch at times. Most of the blinds and feeders will convey with the sale of the property including the famous "Boulder Blinds". The quail and dove hunting can be exceptional as well.

Minerals:
