Tierra Linda Ranch Tour

 

 

     
 

A fully updated kitchen and comfortable appointments throughout the residence provide a welcome rendezvous at the end of a long satisfying hunt or day touring the ranch. The huge back patio is designed for outdoor entertainment with a very large open-air fireplace, large fire pit and a completely covered outdoor bar. This is a wonderful vacation getaway for a busy family on the go or the perfect setting for corporate functions and twilight cocktail parties.

 
 

The 4 Aces Ranch is a beautifully managed, fully operational wildlife preserve on 17,117± acres stretching across both Uvalde and Kinney Counties in southwest Texas. It is the single largest, contiguous, live water ranch currently on the market in the Texas Hill Country and is a spectacular opportunity with valuable potential. The property has a highly transitional topography with low rolling hills and deep canyons scattered with live oak and junipers. After a rainy spring in Texas, the ranch is lush, green and alive with the rich scent of pinion pine. Seven miles of Live Oak Creek are fully self-contained on the ranch, running north to south through the middle of the property, behind the ranch headquarters. The property is loaded with private water, streams, springs, wells and windmills and is a private game park paradise, with a multitude of operational improvements implemented by the owner and a diverse, viable native and exotic wildlife population. The main residence at the ranch headquarters is a beautiful five-bedroom, four-bathroom ranch house with a huge entertaining patio, finished in native limestone, overlooking several of the  natural waterfalls on Live Oak Creek. Two of the bedrooms are master suites, one upstairs and one downstairs, and the house is designed with rustic elegance and privacy.

 

     

4 Aces is a recreational paradise on the western boundary of prime Texas Hill Country. In addition to Live Oak Creek, Sycamore Creek is largely self-contained on the property, and both are fed by more than 30 freshwater springs. Salmon Peak and Boiling Mountain are the two highest peaks in Uvalde and Kinney Counties, are both fully located on the property and provide a challenging day of hiking. 4 Aces Ranch has a wide array of beautiful trees and South Texas brush, attracting native wildlife and providing good ground cover; at the same time, the owner has cleared close to 6,000 acres of cedar without disrupting the integrity of the land. Throughout the project, long-buried, old homesteads were uncovered, dinosaur tracks discovered and early American cave art found, and there is undoubtedly still more to be explored and unearthed in 50 Indian mounds and countless caves. Miles and miles of paved and improved roads facilitate an extensive range of access to many corners of the property, although the entire property has only been seen from the air in helicopter passes. The entire perimeter of the ranch is completely high-fenced with close to 50 miles of state-of-the-art game fence. 4 Aces is a smooth-running operation that could easily transition into a commercial hunting enterprise.

 
     
 

The ranch is a beautifully parked, rugged sanctuary, and the owner, along with a wildlife biologist, has created a highly efficient wildlife game park with high-quality habitat and well managed native and exotic wildlife populations, including axis, scimitar-horned oryx, red sheep and red stag, eland, zebras, black buck, Catalina goats, aoudad, gemsbok, fallow deer, Corsican sheep and turkey. There are extensive game pastures throughout the ranch, including a 3,000-acre elk park and a 2,000-acre South Texas whitetail preserve rounding out the incredible variety of wildlife. A multitude of outbuilding and support structures facilitate the full function of the property, including a massive hay barn, several large covered shops to house equipment and complete metal fabrications. 15 spring-fed water wells provide natural observation points and 14-ton bulk protein feeders are appropriately placed throughout the property, with hunting blinds and strategically placed game towers.  Roughly one mile from ranch headquarters, a three-bedroom hunting cabin is comfortably situated in a shady, live oak grove. The big, gracious back patio is set with an inviting fire pit and rocking chairs, and the retreat provides a welcome midday respite or trophy camp for special guests.

     

The ranch sits between the towns of Uvalde and Camp Wood, Texas, and is approximately one hour to the Del Rio International Airport, which now has daily service to Houston on Continental Airlines. In addition, there are several locations to choose from on the property, offering an excellent opportunity to build a landing strip, which would open access to private jet charters. The 4 Aces Ranch is a gorgeous, self-contained, live water wildlife preserve affording complete privacy and freedom in a diverse, beautiful, pioneer landscape. It would make a valuable vacation home or recreational property investment and offers excellent option power in the Texas marketplace. Do not miss this incredible game ranch opportunity with an amazing price of only $3,250 per acre.   View topo (pdf)
