Description: The Tecomate West Ranch lies within the South Texas Brush Country, characterized by ranchland consisting primarily of native vegetation. Native vegetation consists of a moderate to the dense growth of small trees, shrubs, weeds, short grasses, and coarse bunch grasses common to sub-humid and semi-arid regions of the Southwestern United States and Northern Mexico. The predominant woody plant is mesquite, which occurs over most areas in widely scattered to very thick growth. Various thorny shrubs of many species and prickly pear are present throughout the region. Creek beds and tributaries sit under heavy mesquite, hackberry, elm, live oak, pecan, or other trees. Weeds and forbs are present in great variety and grow profusely where soil moisture is adequate. Sought after for cattle ranching and recreational hunting, Brush Country produces the most significant Whitetail Deer in the state. The area boasts excellent hunting of blue and Bob-white Quail, Javelinas, Turkey, and Wild Hogs with some hunting of Mountain Lions and Bobcats. Leases on quality hunting properties are generally in steady demand and often generate more landowners' income than a typical cattle grazing lease.

Water: Water for livestock and wildlife is provided by four earthen water ponds varying in size from .25 to .5 acres. City water is provided by a two-inch water meter from El Sauz Water Supply. A freshwater well is located near the house site and fills the various wildlife waterers and ponds on the ranch.

Improvements: Over the past 11 years, added improvements include deer fencing, a 34+ acre Lab-Lab summer food plot with dividing center fence, water lines to multiple ground-level wildlife watering dishes, roads, new 2000-square foot house/living area, Freshwater well, five ponds, with one poly-lined pond at the house site, a firepit with social spaces and landscaping that includes the establishment of prickly pear. The ranch significantly benefits from the selective deer breeding program and forage research program implemented and followed over the last 14 years.
