The Icon specialty is extracting extraordinary sales results by representing extraordinary properties and the extraordinary people who own them.
We achieve sales results and often set record prices, which exceed conventional valuations and market expectations.
We are able to accomplish this by first disregarding conventional brokerage thinking and marketing approaches, and further, we tend to also set aside canned appraisal wisdom, and instead , build our own estimation of a property’s, value , market position and audience appreciation based on a combination of data, instinct, and experience as well as the savvy in knowing how to best position and present the property where, how and why.
We set aside tired, predictable marketing, tenured culture and conventional practices within the industry. We challenge conventional thinking as well as the expectations of Brokers, Buyers and the Market, by setting a new bar in each and every approach.
I am, by the nature of my personality and background, a contrarian.
Icon is, by the nature of its niche market expertise, success and specialty practices, a contrarian in the business of real estate sales.
Icon is in fact, a One of None, representing One of One’s.
Conventional brokers mostly operate in the box and apply Real Estate 101 practices learned in a book or classroom. Since I was a child, boxes have always made me claustrophobic. Moreover, I was never a high achiever in a classroom.
I am constantly looking for a more creative, fresh approach and better way, while rewriting a book that will likely never be finished, because with each amazing property entrusted to my care and design in marketing, I never stop learning.
We are as unique as the properties we represent in a market sector of non-conforming, non-comparable real estate assets. Our results best speak for us ,and to our ability’s.
Welcome to this edition of Icon Ink, highlighting some of our learned and earned success along the way.
Very Best Regards,

ICON GLOBAL EMBRACES SPECIAL EVENT MARKETING TO REACH PREMIER AUDIENCES
STORY BY LORIE A. WOODWARD
n its ongoing quest to introduce its one-of-a-kind listings and unique services to highly qualified buyers and sellers, Icon Global has embraced a far-reaching event marketing strategy.
Icon Global presents a series of unique events focusing on the western lifestyle and global equestrian sports such as polo, polocrosse, show jumping, horse racing, cutting and reining. Additionally, Uechtritz speaks at corporate and business events, fireside chats and on panels. The firm hosts pre-qualified, invitationonly ranch open house weekends. Icon additionally partners with corporations, charities and media outlets on special, high-visibility occasions such as fundraising galas or awards ceremonies.
“Because we are able to advertise within the context of the event while expanding our network of potential clients and introduce them to our ranch portfolio and special assets, event marketing is an exceptionally successful strategy for us,” said Bernard “Bernie” Uechtritz, owner of Icon Global. “We are known for proactively and creatively taking properties to the market.”
Hosting one or two events per quarter, the Icon Global team, which also includes Uechtritz’s daughter, Kelsi, who serves as the company’s multistate broker of record, maintains a full calendar
OUTS IDE TH E BOX
As one example, Uechtritz, who also owns property in Europe, is a long-time polo player and his daughter, Olivia, is a professional polo player who serves as Icon Global’s polo ambassador. The sport regularly takes the family and the brand to France, England, South Africa, the Middle East and Australia.
“It’s just a natural fit,” said Uechtritz, noting that Icon Global recently launched its European offices in London and Paris. “Against the backdrop of shared equestrian passions, we get to introduce an international audience to the legend and lore of ranches along with our other special asset opportunities.”
Uechtritz’s equestrian experience is not limited to the polo field. He is equally at home on the Thoroughbred horse farms of Kentucky or astride a cutting horse. In 2024, Icon Global partnered with the National Cutting Horse Association to present NCHA’s first-ever Celebrity Cutting. The star-studded event, held at the Will Rogers Coliseum in Fort Worth, benefited the UT Southwestern Medical Center Fort Worth.
“As part of our sponsorship, we fired up Icon Global’ s marketing machine to serve up the company’s 2025 line-up of on- and off-market legacy assets to the VIP guests,” Uechtritz said.
Nicole Sheridan, renowned equestrian and wife of actor-producer Taylor Sheridan, co-chaired the gala event with Fort Worth philanthropist and civic visionary Kit Moncrief. The guest and competitor’s lists were A-list and included actress Nicole Kidman
HE ALWAYS DOES A TERRIFIC JOB. HE’S COMFORTABLE AT THE PODIUM AND ISN’T AFRAID TO GO OFF SCRIPT AND SPEAK FROM THE HEART. HE’S PASSIONATE ABOUT HIS WORK, TEXAS, AND BUSINESS IN GENERAL, AND HIS AUTHENTICITY COMES THROUGH.
—Christine
Perez, Editor of D CEO
and her husband country music star Keith Urban, super model Bella Hadid as well numerous stars from the casts of “Yellowstone,” “Land Man,” “1923” and “Lioness. “
In the run-up to the anticipated event NCHA Executive Director Jay Winborn, who tapped Icon Global as the presenting sponsor, said, “Icon is a top-shelf company that is renowned for its innovative global marketing reach and who has incredible record of success. They are the perfect partner for NCHA to help energize the focus on our new event.”
The pairing was a huge success. Icon Global has signed on as the presenting sponsor for the second semi-annual event slated for March 2026.
Uechtritz, known for his adventurous life that began with his childhood spent in Papua, New Guinea, found another natural fit as an event emcee. Early in his young adulthood, Uechtritz served as an announcer at horse racing and polo-lacrosse events and was an auctioneer. Once he moved to America, he honed his skills further by hosting and emceeing black tie events such as the Australian American Chamber of Commerce galas in Houston and Los Angeles as well as the Australian Trade Commission’s signature event G’Day USA.
From the beginning, audiences responded positively to his energy, and even the Aussie whip cracking he brought to the dais. Regardless of their backgrounds, audience members engaged with his presentations of opportunity and adventures in New Guinea, Australia and America which ranged from jockeying racehorses and playing polo to riding bulls and saddle broncs as well as racing motorcycles and stock cars and recovering World War II relics in the South Pacific.
Today, those tales of adventure are interwoven with anecdotes from his career in “complicated real estate” that began when he sold the infamous family estate of Erik and Lyle Menendez in Calabasas, California, in 1994. As the years past, his track record lengthened to include record sales of iconic ranches such as the 535,000-acre W.T. Waggoner listed at $725 million, the $100 million Tomas Ranch on behalf of ExxonMobil and the $240 million Sandow Lakes mine site on behalf of the Alcoa Corporation.
“I’m storyteller who has been blessed with a career and life passions that have given me a lot of stories to tell,” Uechtritz said. “It’s fun to hold the attention of a room, to entertain and engage the audience, but most importantly, this lets me tie all that into the cause and focus of the event or fundraiser.”
D CEO, a business magazine based in Dallas, has joined forces with Uechtritz and Icon Global for several of the publication’s premier events. Uechtritz has served as the emcee or a featured speaker at the D CEO Energy Awards and Commercial Real Estate Awards as well as a special gathering of the financial powerhouses that oversee family offices. In late March, Uechtritz was back at the podium as Icon Global sponsored the magazine’s 2025 Commercial Real Estate Awards.
“D CEO is read by C-Suiters in Dallas-Fort Worth— high net worth individuals,” said Christine Perez, editor of D CEO. “Most of Bernie’s clients are CEOs or own large private companies. They’re also ranch owners or otherwise invest in real estate. So, our readers are his people.”
Noting that Uechtritz is a veteran of D CEO events including the magazine’s Energy and Commercial Real Estate Awards, she continued, “He always does a terrific job. He’s comfortable at the podium and isn’t afraid to go off script and speak from the heart. He’s passionate about his work, Texas, and business in general, and his authenticity comes through.”
The events are not one-size-fits-all. Each is evaluated carefully before Icon Global signs on as a sponsor or brand partner.
“I consider each event individually,” Uechtritz said. “It must be a good fit and cause for our brand and theirs. We must be able to leverage the oppotuniity for everyone’s success before, during and after the event, which also has to be an authentic and legitimate cause. It has to offer a good return on the investment of time and money for everyone involved.”
“I built this company and its reputation by being able to think and operate creatively outside the traditional box,” Uechtritz said. “Special event marketing is a one of many initiatives in identifying and seizing opportunities to create success for our clients.” °

FEATURED LISTINGS
The Catos restored the 1876 historical ranch property, the PK Ranch on Soldier Creek, resulting in what today is a successful and respected Black Angus cattle ranch.
The 6,440-acre ranch incorporates significant water rights providing outstanding irrigation capability, with an additional 1,000 acres of adjacent state and private leased ground. The property produces cattle, irrigated hay and other forage crops. The property’s historical buildings, homes and compound provide tranquil summer retreats for family and friends enjoying the western, recreational and polo lifestyle found in and around Sheridan.
Set within the foothills of the majestic Big Horn Mountains, an incredible viewshed takes in the pristine surroundings of over one million acres of the Big Horn National
Forest. The ranch is located about 20 minutes from Sheridan Memorial Hospital, the Sheridan County Airport, and the historic Main Street District of shopping, museums, the WYO Theatre, restaurants, and some of the Mountain West’s most legendary watering holes.
Cato is a legacy ranch that continues to operate as a professionally managed working cattle ranch, utilizing regenerative-focused, intensively managed grazing and irrigation systems to enhance wildlife populations, increase land productivity, optimize livestock production, and improve ranch profitability. Nestled amid the rolling foothills and sundrenched prairies of the American West, the Cato Ranch stands as a symbol of enduring tradition, ingenuity, and the evolving story of the nation’s heartland.
As part of Cato Ranch’s regenerative management practices, they utilize cover crops
to enhance soil conditions, which in turn support wildlife and ultimately improve cattle production. Annually, they plant approximately 150 acres in early summer and graze the weaned calves on them with excellent results. These cover crops are also an attraction to wildlife. After a few years, the fields will be replanted with a perennial crop and start the process in other fields. All farming is done using a no-till seed drill.
Like so many storied spreads, it occupies a special place in the history of the West. Tales of legendary Rodeos, midnight cattle drives, and encounters with wildlife, wild cowboys, and Indians have become part of local lore, passed down from one generation to the next.
The Story of The Cato Ranch is, ultimately the story of the American West itself: family and land, tradition and transformation.

Presented By ICON GLOBAL
Located 90 minutes drive from Fredricksburg
Home to native and exotic species
Rustic elegance ranch, resort and spa
FEATURED LISTINGS
The JL Bar Ranch, Resort and Spa, located where the beloved Texas Hill Country meets the Chihuahuan Desert, offers the pure essence of a Texas recreation and hunting ranch, cloaked in luxury.
Situated on 4,600± acres near Sonora, Texas, and complete with its own private luxury on-site FBO and 5,300 ' jet runway, the one-of-a-kind destination is ideally suited as turnkey high-end hospitality and corporate business opportunity.
National and international, adventure-seeking guests (many of whom fly directly to the FBO) choose to experience the smalltown German charm of Fredericksburg, just a 90-minute drive to the east, or the grandeur of Big Bend National Park, less than a half day’s drive to the west, during their stay on the JL Bar Ranch. Sonora Caverns, a world-renowned subterranean destination, and even a golf course, are just minutes away.
Outdoors
Surrounded by an 8,400± acre ranch, the JL Bar is an oasis of privacy and wide, open spaces where the cowboy lifestyle is as natural as the landscape. Livestock graze the native rangelands as they have done historically in Texas. Access to fine horses ensures guests can saddle up and cowboy up for a day or the entirety of their stay.
Native whitetails along with a host of exotic species including kudu, blackbuck antelope,
gemsbok, scimitar-horned oryx, and Axis deer thrive in the well-managed habitat and provide guests unparalleled hunting opportunities. In the appropriate season, wing shooting enthusiasts will enjoy hunting quail and pheasant alongside highly trained dogs and knowledgeable guides.
Guests, whether beginners or experts, can hone their marksmanship at the JL Bar’s Shooting Complex. The complex features a state-of-theart eight-station, stadium-lighted trap and skeet course with both high and low field houses, a rifle and pistol range and a 1,500-yard long-range. The nearby General Store is set up so guests can acquire guns, ammo and licenses and fortify themselves with coffee and pastries from the on-site shop located nearby.
Other outdoor amenities include an equestrian center, a Jack Nicklaus putting/chipping green, an infinity pool, a hot tub and fire pits. The infrastructure creates an almost limitless array of activities including games, archery and cooking classes, as well as wine and spirits tastings.
Indoors
From its inception, the JL Bar was designed to be the best ranch resort in Texas. Nowhere is that more evident than the rustic elegance of the lodging, gathering spaces and spa.
Whether guests choose the sprawling Archer’s Nest estate, built on the site of the 1906 homestead, or one of the many guest cabins or suites, they will be cosseted
in well-appointed luxury.
The JL Bar Main Lodge features a lounge, game room, fully stocked bar, 900+ bottle wine cellar with a tasting room, a walk-in humidor as well as an executive dining room and separate conference and meeting rooms.
The JL Bar Lonesome Creek Lodge, which can seat up to 275 people, is home to a full-service bar and restaurant, a meeting space and an indoor/ outdoor patio, bar and grill that can accommodate 216 people.
The Spa at JL Bar is a five-star oasis of relaxation. The facility is designed to allow trained professionals to deliver an array of rejuvenating services in the serene setting that is integral to exceptional spa experiences.
Private FBO Airport
The private FBO airport, located on the ranch, allows guests to disembark from their plane and be at the main lodge enjoying drinks within five minutes. The fully lighted, asphalt runway measures 5,300’ x 90’ and boasts a 250’ x 300’ concrete ramp encompassing 75,000 square feet.
The spacious hangar can accommodate multiple jets and has both crew and passenger lounges as well as two conference rooms, equipped with video and phone conferencing, that can seat up to 12. In addition, there are several offices, pilots’ living quarters and ground transportation to the lodge or surrounding destinations.

Sonoma Summit Ranch
Presented By ICON GLOBAL
Stunning panoramic views
Amazing greenhouses and orchards
1,100± Acres in Sonoma, California
Premier Northern California location
From its perch atop 2,249-foot Sonoma Mountain, the 1,100± acre Sonoma Summit Ranch provides a panoramic view that includes the Pacific Ocean, San Franciso and the Golden Gate Bridge as well as San Pablo Bay, the Bay Bridge, Mount St. Helena and Napa. This expansive ecological treasure is about 15 minutes from Petaluma and Sonoma, 25 minutes from Napa and an hour from San Francisco.
“In a shrinking world, the opportunity to own more than 1,000 acres on a mountaintop anywhere on the planet is indeed rare,” said Bernard “Bernie” Uechtritz, founding broker and owner of Dallas-based Icon Global who is offering the ranch in association with Pete Clark and the Clark Company, based in Paso Robles, California. “To own such a property in California, within an hour of San Francisco’s Golden Gate Bridge, simply doesn’t exist.”
He continued, “The Sonoma Summit Ranch is by definition one-ofone, and as such is being sold by the opportunity—not by the acre.”
The “neighborhood” is preservation minded. Sonoma Summit Ranch abuts the 1,565± acre Jack London State Natural Area.
FEATURED LISTINGS
The 600-acre Mitsui Ranch, leased and managed by the Sonoma Mountain Ranch Preservation Foundation, is another notable nearby property.
Elevations on the Sonoma Summit Ranch range from 1,650± feet to 2,295± feet creating “an isle in the sky,” anchored by a rich layer of ground volcanic and sedimentary rocks known as Sonoma Volcanics. Thick grasses and burled oaks vegetate the property, which is home to an array of wildlife including blacktail deer, badgers, coyotes, bobcats and the occasional mountain lion. Golden eagles and redtail hawks soar overhead.
Sonoma Summit Ranch is a water-rich property. The property boasts two lakes; the largest is 18± acres and holds approximately 99 acre-feet of water, while the smaller lake is 3± acres. In addition, six springfed ponds and 12 natural springs are scattered over the landscape. A primal “fern valley” in the Carriger Creek Canyon is enlivened by a soundtrack of waterfalls
Being in the heart of the wine country, the current owners did not overlook the opportunity to establish vineyards. They have applied for a valuable Vineyard VESCO permit. Working with respected vineyard development and civil
engineering firms, the owners have confirmed hundreds of acres within the property could support premium high-elevation wine grape production.
The current owner rebuilt the main house from the studs up and further enhanced it with a 4,200-square-foot expansion meeting all codes for future revisions. A nearby state-of-the-art workspace, encompassing 5,200 square feet with a basement, features radiant-heated floors and air conditioning. As a celebration of nature, the lushly landscaped grounds feature four different species of daffodils planted in sets by species, yielding between 2 million and 10 million blooms across a three-week period, heralding spring’s arrival.
The ranch, often the site for business retreats and parties, is set-up to accommodate gatherings. A rustically warm “party barn” provides the backdrop for memorable fun. Even during a party, guests can step out back to soak up the ambiance of the fire pit or continue walking toward the quiet lake for precious moments of solitude. In addition, the main barn has been gently restored paying homage to history with touches such as a century-spanning wagon.
Arguably, the ranch’s focal point is the greenhouse complex. The main Greenhouse is home to an ever-growing, ever-changing array of greens and vegetables. The North Greenhouse is equally verdant and provides a meticulously designed workstation featuring a lacquered redwood sink, a stainless-steel washing area and tool storage. The Orangery, another greenhouse, is dedicated to citrus and could be the site of an exquisite dinner.
The nearby terraced orchards, accessed by cobblestone paths, offer the same diversity of nature-kissed produce. More than 100 fruit, nut and olive trees produce their bounty during their season. Lavender and rosemary lend their texture and scents to the scene.
The current owner tech visionary Don McKinney purchased the ranch, in part, to keep its natural ecosystems intact.
“I have always been and will always be a serious conservationist,” he said. “I viewed myself as the temporary custodian of the ranch. I believe I’ve made the ranch substantially better than it was—order of magnitude better—than before.” ° Information subject to change and update.

Your willingness and ability to bond with co-brokers was not only critical to your selection as the lead broker in this case, it was a major reason for the overall success of the effort.

Bernie has represented me as a seller in two Texas ranch transactions in 2017 and and another in 2022 involving 9,200 acres.
I have been involved in real estate development and ranching throughout the United States for 48 years.

Polo is a longtime family passion & global networking platform for Icon Global & Bernard Uechtritz.
Winston Churchill once said – Polo is a Passport to the World – and so it is.
Nacho Figueras & Bernard Uechtritz faced off at the 2015 World Snow Polo Championship in Aspen and returned as teammates in 2016 for St. Regis.

THE GOLDEN AGE OF POLO
The Ties of NCHA, AQHA, & POLO...
...Date back to the 1920’s, and the bloodlines of ranch quarter horse greats, such as famed Poco Bueno of the Waggoner, and the Pitchfork’s legacy of Trimmer, Seal Brown, Joe Bailey’s King, and other legends like Highbrow Cat!
The Pitchfork horses are very versatile. They’ve been tried and proven all over the world – in the pasture, rodeo arenas, polo fields and performance arenas.
The NCHA also shares past competitive riders who were also highly competitive Polo Players such as Preston Carter and Kenny McClean.
In 1985 Mclean, played against then HRH Prince Charles in Palm Beach Florida in a match which included Polo Legends Memo & Ruben Gracida.
Present day NCHA connections include Wesley Sinor of Houston and Executive Director of NCHA Jay Winborn.
Icon Global is first and foremost a marketing company. As and when and where we do that right, we then get to be a brokerage company, executing on deals and successfully servicing clients. A majority of our deals are quiet, off market and confidential. However, if required to aggressively and internationally market with high visibility...we can...and do!”
