8,050± ACRES IN JIM HOGG AND STARR COUNTIES OFFERED AT $30,000,000

With its combination of rugged South Texas brush and grassland savannahs, the Rancho Estrella, located 42 miles southwest of Hebbronville, is like two ranches in one.

Encompassing approximately 8,050 ± acres in Jim Hogg and Starr counties, the ranch provides incredible hunting and superlative privacy for its owners and their guests.

The Rancho Estrella is divided into four pastures: the Brush Pasture, the Front Safari Pasture, the Back Safari Pasture and the House Pasture. The exterior and interior fences are high to facilitate wildlife management. Miles of all-weather and quickdrying ranch roads provide easy access.

Managed for wildlife for almost three decades, the Rancho Estrella is home to white-tailed deer, bobwhite and scaled quail, Rio Grande turkeys, javelina, dove and feral hogs. While quail hunting occurs regularly on the ranch, the native population has been supplemented with pen-raised birds to keep the numbers stable. In addition to healthy populations of native game, the ranch has a full complement of desirable exotics: sable antelope, scimitarhorned oryx, axis and zebras.

The well-managed brush country habitat is supplemented with protein feeders as well as winter and summer food plots. The ranch has 24 protein feeders ranging in capacity from 1,000 to 2,500 pounds as well as 18 quail feeders. To facilitate hunting, there are 30 Atascosa deer blinds and 30 – 1,000 pound corn feeders strategically located throughout.

In addition to wildlife, the ranch is well-suited for cattle.

The new owners can choose to run their own herds or lease out the grazing for an additional income stream. There are two sets of cattle pens: one on the Brush Pasture and a newly constructed set that can be accessed from the remaining three pastures.

Water for wildlife and livestock are plentiful. The Rancho Estrella has nine water wells; two of which are run on solar pumps and the remainder on electric submersible pumps. There are also four stock tanks, three of which are supplemented by water from the wells. The other relies on rainwater. Plus, there are more than 30 wildlife waterers scattered throughout the property. gate cover for press.indd 2

Rancho Estrella is designed to entertain large numbers of family, friends, colleagues or clients, providing opportunities for both camaraderie and privacy. The scope and scale of the facilities can handle special events. For instance, the focal point of one of the dining rooms is a 24-foot mesquite table.

There are two separate compounds to house guests, one in the Brush Pasture and one in the House Pasture. At each location, there is a combination of a main lodge as well as apartments and casitas. The smaller quarters offer partial kitchens and private baths. The Brush Pasture Compound, which reflects the style and tradition of South Texas, also has a swimming pool and a series of common areas designed to bring people together. There is a master plan in place outlining potential expansion of the House Pasture.

The owner’s home is located at the Brush Pasture compound.

It is a four-bedroom, four-bath house with half baths attached to the kitchen and family room. While it is central to the compound’s design, the owner’s home includes a separate wing where the family can gather privately.

There are two modular homes for staff.

The ranch’s infrastructure is also designed to support ranch work and entertaining. For instance, there is a 10’ x 25’ walk-in cooler for storing game and kennels for housing the ranch’s bird dogs. Guests can enjoy shooting skeet from both a high and lowhouse. A watch tower near the owners’ home provides a view of Mexico’s Sierra Madre Mountains.

The ranch has been both a hunting destination and a corporate retreat. If the new owner chooses, Rancho Estrella could easily be transformed into a commercial hunting operation.

Brush country. Grassland savannahs. Camaraderie. Privacy.

Rancho Estrella is provides an opportunity for the best of all worlds.

Riding a Fine Horse Into New Country “I can’t think of nothing better than riding a fine horse into new country. “ —Augustus “Gus” McRae, Lonesome Dove

TOM ALEXANDER

Recently, I ran across an interview with Robert Duvall in a back issue of Cowboys & Indians. The gifted Academyaward winning actor was talking about his favorite role, Gus McRae, the aging Texas Ranger who was equally at home in a gun fight or a flirtation.

Although it has been 27 years since the ground-breaking mini-series was released, Duvall noted the character—and the epic adventure—still captures the imagination of his fans, especially those who live in Texas and the southwest.

The lure of land. The lure of cattle. The lure of wildlife. The lure of the ranching life has been part of the Lone Star experience since the first settlers arrived. Fortunately for us, the opportunity to live larger than life in the mold of McRae and Call still exists.

FRANK RODRIGUEZ

I understand the appeal. When all the trappings of a highadventure and romance are removed, it’s the story of two men, McRae and his fellow Ranger and long-time friend Woodrow F. Call, navigating the change gripping their world. The rough-and-tumble frontier where they came of age is becoming civilized and sedate. Instead of claiming a chair on the porch and ignoring the lure of the unexplored, they strike out to find new country that brings their deadened senses back to life. Interestingly, their ultimate destination was a ranch, albeit one they had to carve from the wilderness.

Texas is not as gun-friendly as most people think according to OpenCarryTexas.org

As of January 1, 2016, Texas moved an inch closer to the constitutional principles both the state and nation were founded upon. While Open Carry Texas was successful in getting licensed open carry passed, they say their ultimate goal will always be constitutional carry—if you can legally own and purchase a gun, you should be able to legally carry that gun without begging for government permission in the form of a license and 2nd Amendment tax. As they fight for constitutional carry, and seek to reduce government regulation related to the wearing and bearing of arms, Open Carry Texas says they must first educate Texans about current gun and weapons related laws.

Open Carry Texas (OCT) is a non-profit, 501(c)4 organization dedicated to the safe and legal carry of firearms openly in the state of Texas in accordance with the United States and Texas constitutions and other applicable laws.

For more information on the gun carry law, visit the Texas Department of Public Safety at TXDPS.State.TX.us/RSD/CHL/Forms.

Texas’

WAGGONER RANCH Officially Changes Hands

W

hen Judge Dan Mike Bird of the 46th Judicial Court approved the sale of the 535,000acre Waggoner Ranch on February 9, 2016, news traveled around the globe. After all, the largest ranch in the United States under one fence was about to leave family hands for the first time since W.T. “Tom” Waggoner founded it in 1849. And the new owner was a Stan Kroenke, an American businessman, professional sports team owner, and rancher who had already amassed one of the largest ranching conglomerates in North America. The media frenzy created the illusion the transaction was complete.

I, knowing that a land deal especially a deal of this magnitude and complexity isn’t done until all of the signatures are on all of the appropriate lines, called Sam Middleton to congratulate him on nearing the finish line and to determine whether he had an estimated time of arrival at the aforementioned destination. Sam, who owns and operates Chas. S. Middleton & Son in Lubbock, was one of the two ranch brokers appointed to manage the ranch’s sale on behalf of the family and shareholders. The other broker was Bernard “Bernie” Uechtritz, an international real estate advisor to Briggs Freeman Sotheby’s International Realty in Dallas.

22

Frankly, I didn’t expect Sam to answer his phone. He was in the middle of a big deal and a big story. Of course, he is also Sam—a consummate professional. He picked up on the second ring. After exchanging a few verbal high fives, we agreed to touch base again when the deal was drawing to a close and Bernie could join us.

That opportunity arose later that day as a gaggle of lawyers and advisors were hard at work at the six courthouses in the six Panhandle counties that include a portion of the sprawling Waggoner. We were scheduled to talk at 9:00 a.m. My phone rang an hour later. Despite the best efforts of Christy Payne of Uechtritz's, International Icon Properties, who was assisting the duo, the media storm and unfolding events had upended Bernie and Sam’s schedules. When we made a connection, the tone was optimistic and celebratory.

“I’d like to be the first to congratulate Sam on his retirement,” said Bernie laughing as he immediately dispelled the rumors that he and Sam were considering leaving the ranch real estate industry at the deal’s conclusion.

“The truth is this was just a warm-up for us,” Sam said joining in the fun. “Our next deal is really big.”

TEXAS LAND / ROUNDUP

But when the talk turned to the new buyer, the mood turned thoughtful and respectful.

“For Stan ranching is a serious enterprise,” Bernie said. “From our perspective, Stan was the ideal buyer. Not only did he have the financial resources to purchase and maintain the ranch, but he is a committed land steward who is passionate about improving the land and conserving it for future generations.”

According to Sam, the family and shareholders encouraged the ranch brokers to find a buyer who would keep the historic ranch, which covers about 800 square miles, intact.

“While keeping the ranch whole was not a requirement, the family and shareholders made it clear it was their preference— and hope—that we would be able to keep the nation’s largest ranch under a single fence unbroken,” Sam said. “Interestingly, all of our serious buyers wanted to keep the ranch and its legacy intact.”

On August 6, 2014, Sam and Bernie were appointed by Judge Dan Mike Bird of the 46th Judicial District Court to market the ranch. The team decided to divide and conquer. Sam worked on mapping, showing routes and a field brochure.

Bernie said, “I’ve been fortunate to do a lot of interesting things and quarterback some complicated deals in my 30-year career, but I have to say working with Sam is one of the high points.”

Bernie took the lead on the marketing strategy and tactics , advertising, PR and media relations. Together they showed the ranch by land and air .

“From the beginning, it was clear that Bernie and I had different styles,” Sam said. “He brought his style and his experience creating his compressed marketing campaign and call for

24

offers, along with comprehensive data room concepts to the table, both of which were invaluable. In my career, I’d never undertaken a data gathering effort like this deal required.”

Complete information is vital to any deal, but it was crucial to this one. One of Uechtritz’s tactics required a $15 million “pay to play” submission by bid finalists in order for their offer to be considered. As a result, potential buyers needed access to complete information up front so they could make that investment with confidence. There was no opportunity for due diligence after the fact.

In January 2015, after several months of intense preparation, the duo initiated an unprecedented global marketing effort.

Their concerted efforts generated more than 900 qualified inquiries despite the downturn in oil prices. The inquiries continued until the day the court approved the sale.

“The level of interest was overwhelming, and eventually we showed the property to several different groups and individuals from foreign countries,” Sam said. “What I learned from this experience is that wealthy foreign investors still consider the United States the best place to invest their money—and land, particularly in Texas, is considered a very, very good investment.”

The duo’s call for offers closed on October 25, 2015. Six qualified prospects were selected to make final presentations to the family and shareholders. From those presentations, the final buyer was selected. One of the biggest challenges was keeping the buyer’s identity secret until the transaction was finalized.

“This sale was a huge responsibility,” Bernie said. “We worked long and hard to keep Stan’s identity a secret and to maintain confidentiality.”

He continued with a laugh, “It wasn’t easy because the only

thing people agree on in West Texas is that nothing is a secret.”

The details of the deal were hammered out over several months.

Joel D. Leadbetter from Hall & Hall in Bozeman, Montana, and Sam Connolly, general manager of Kroenke Ranches, represented Stan Kroenke.

“A deal of this magnitude and complexity is not completed because of the brilliance of a single person,” Bernie said. “It was successful because we got good brokers involved and we worked closely with the exceptional teams representing the owners, the shareholders and the buyers. It was a team effort across the board.”

By all accounts, the results were worth the efforts.

Sam said, “All sides are happy with the results. The family

and the shareholders are pleased. It was a complicated deal done right with superlative results for those involved, those affected—and those of us who call Texas home.”

"The new owner is committed to retaining all employees while infusing additional money into the ranch to modernize it, which is good news for the local community," Sam said.

“Selling the Waggoner Ranch intact means everything,” Bernie said. “It means the investment value of Texas land is strong and vibrant. It means the cowboy way is not dead and won’t be for a long, long time. It means there are patriots and land stewards out there like Stan Kroenke—people who don’t have to invest their money in buying r eland, but choose to because they care and want to make it better. Ultimately, it means this national treasure is in good hands. A great day for Texas and American ranching.”

TEXAS LAND / PORTFOLIO

Bullhead Creek Ranch

Located in the southern Texas Hill Country, this ranch offers seclusion for light agriculture as well as recreational activities, including hunting, fishing, swimming and hiking. It has been in the same family for almost 50 years.

B

ullhead Creek Ranch comprises approximately 460 deeded acres. Situated in a valley surrounded almost entirely by mountains within the ranch ownership lines, the property enjoys unique privacy. The ranch is bisected by Bullhead Creek, one of several spring-fed headwaters of the Nueces River. About 1.3 miles of this crystal clear creek pass through the property, providing water for livestock and recreational activities. The creek has deep blue-green swimming holes, and long stretches of smooth-bottomed limestone bedrock punctuated by gravel bars. In addition to Bullhead Creek, about a quarter-mile of New Creek runs through the ranch emptying into Bullhead Creek. The ranch also has a small, dammed spring, as well as an irrigation ditch built in the late 1800s and fed by a large spring on a neighbor’s ranch. Along the creek are pecan bottoms, fields around the house and barn areas, high bluffs, and tree covered hills.

Improvements on the Bullhead Creek Ranch include the threebedroom, two bath main house with loft built in 1979. The house includes a log fireplace, screened-in porch and carport.

The east-facing front porch overlooks the front yard, barn and bottom pastures. The open ranch house is well-lit and comfortable, with impressive views of the hills surrounding the ranch. Other improvements include a metal barn with bays for equipment and an indoor storage area, a metal two-bedroom, one-bath house (in need of repair), a cedar dog trot log cabin and a small set of pipe cattle pens. The main house area is enclosed by stone column and cedar stay fences, and stone retaining walls constructed by Guanajuato masons add further character to the ranch.

Resident whitetail deer, axis deer, feral hogs, Rio Grande turkey, and aoudad frequent the property. The topography and vegetation found throughout the property and in the surrounding area provide an excellent habitat for the wildlife. Bullhead Creek Ranch contains a variety of native fish species, including largemouth bass, blue gill, sunfish, and bullhead catfish.

Bullhead Creek Ranch is on FM 2631 in Real County about fourteen miles northeast of Barksdale, Texas. The farm-to-market road provides year-round access, and yet the pavement ends within about one mile of the ranch. Traffic on the road has been minimal. Sellers will convey one-half of the mineral rights they own.

DONNING THE CAMO COWBOY HAT BALANCING WILDLIFE AND LIVESTOCK WRITTEN BY GREG SIMONS AND RUBEN CANTU

30

T

he allure of owning ranchland is deeply rooted in our American culture. As the late novelist, Louis L’Amour wrote, “There’s a little cowboy in all of us, a little frontier.” In recent decades there has been an increasing demand for land dedicated to wildlife-related recreational purposes instead of traditional agricultural purposes. This reality challenges today’s landowner to strike a balance between being a livestock operator and a wildlife manager.

Dr. Dale Rollins, a well-respected wildlife specialist, often challenges his “students” to don a camo cowboy hat while determining how to integrate wildlife-based programs into existing livestock operations. Put on your camo cowboy hat as we take a closer look at the challenges and opportunities inherent in balancing wildlife and ranching enterprises.

LANDMAGAZINES.COM

CATTLE AS TOOLS New landowners—and even not so new landowners— have removed cattle from their land thinking this was in the best interest of wildlife. That’s not necessarily so. Aldo Leopold, known as the father of wildlife management, described the cow “as a tool that was once used to destroy wildlife and their habitat, but when the tool is used in a positive manner it can restore wildlife.”

Because the relationship between wildlife and cattle is not clearly understood, it is widely believed that cattle are detrimental to wildlife habitat. Frankly, it’s not the cattle, but improperly managed grazing that creates issues. When grazing is properly managed, the vegetation is given time to rest and recover after it has been grazed. The result is increased plant vigor and diversity.

To understand the role that cattle can play in rangeland ecology, think of cows as the domesticated substitute for bison which numbered in the millions across much of Texas’ rangelands at a time when wildlife flourished. Cattle like bison are primarily grass eaters. Deer are primarily browsers and forb eaters. Quail utilize the seeds from many forbs and use residual grass clumps for nesting.

When cattle remove grass cover it allows sunlight to penetrate the soil which prompts forb germination. When cattle vacate a pasture as part of a grazing program, it’s common to see more deer utilizing new forb growth spurred by the grazing. Without cows to remove some of the stagnant grassy vegetation there wouldn’t be a flush of high quality forage to benefit the deer and quail.

In short, a cow is the best wildlife management tool available to a landowner. When managed properly, a cow consumes what is naturally growing from sunlight energy, stimulates the production of more forage for other wildlife, and can make a landowner money rather than using money.

It’s highly recommended that you consult with a resource specialist to help you determine if a wildlife and livestock operation can co-exist on your property.

The compatibility considerations should take in both the wildlife and livestock sides of the equation. The emphasis of your wildlife program, whether it is deer, quail, songbirds, Houston toads or something else, will influence how livestock and range management practices are blended together. The “measure twice and cut once” approach is a wise operational philosophy to avoid making costly mistakes that are hard to repair.

AG/WILDLIFE VALUATION Passed in the 1995, Proposition 11 provided landowners with the option of meeting their ag valuation standards through wildlife-related practices When it comes to balancing wildlife and livestock enterprises, perhaps, the most important thing to remember about wildlife valuation is that it allows livestock grazing but doesn’t require it, so landowners have flexibility in timing their grazing and setting their stocking rate. Under traditional ag valuation, landowners must meet minimum mandatory stocking rates year-round regardless of range or weather conditions.

If you need the positive impacts of grazing but don’t want to own livestock, consider the option of a grazing lease. A good lessee can provide all the positive benefits of good grazing management without the landowner having the responsibility of livestock ownership.

PEOPLE There is a human element to the wildlife and livestock equation: staff. When it comes to retro-fitting “ranch people” into a hospitality-intensive, wildlife-based recreational program, you can run into “stormy days with silver-lined clouds.” People who gravitate toward traditional ranch work may not be especially eager to cater to hunters and other guests, but the staff’s knowledge and passion for the land is contagious and their knowledge is interesting.

Sometimes helping ranch hands transition to recreational guides isn’t an easy task, but the effort can definitely pay dividends for the ranch, the staff and the guests.

Clients who come to hunt or enjoy the ranch often live with staff for several days, so the staff’s quiet, private life is likely to be disrupted. However, this close contact between staff and client presents an incredible opportunity to build great relationships and make profound impressions.

With this in mind, staff hospitality training on the ranch is as important as it is at a resort destination—and Customer Service 101 is the minimum acceptable standard.

A WORD TO THE WISE Today’s ranch real estate values are often predicated on wildlife potential instead of livestock potential; therefore, prospective sellers would be wise to wear their camo cowboy hats when making ranch management decisions in order to preserve or improve the value of their rangeland assets.

And prospective buyers would be well-served by knowing their land management goals and interests when they are purchasing property to ensure that the landscape will allow them to the strike the right balance for wildlife and livestock.

HOW TO SUCCEED WRITTEN BY ROBERT FEARS

A

ranch is often purchased as a place to relax on weekends and during vacations or it is bought for a place to live after retirement.

Regardless of the reason for acquiring land, a buyer should fully understand what is involved in ownership before making the commitment.

Some fact-finding and family discussions prior to finalizing the purchase decision helps ensure that the new venture will be enjoyable.

A first consideration is property taxes. Unless land is in some type of agricultural production, it will be taxed according to its market value. With today’s land prices, taxes based on market value is usually a large amount.

Texas law provides preferential property tax treatment for open-space lands that fall within the following categories: 1. Open-space land devoted to agriculture and livestock production; 2. Land devoted to wildlife management; and 3. Open-space land devoted to timber production.

Under one of the three categories, landowners may apply for special appraisal based on their land's productivity value rather than what the land would sell for on the open market. Typically, a productivity value is less than market value, which lowers property taxes.

There are different qualification requirements for each of the three types of open-space land appraisals; so visit with the agricultural appraiser at your local appraisal district to learn which category best fits your situation.

FAMILY ACCEPTANCE Does your passion for ranching and wildlife run deep within your soul or do you just have the threeday ranch virus? If you think you have the terminal ranch virus, it’s time to decide whether you and your family are really serious about wanting to leave city life conveniences, where all your needs are readily accessible. The nearest grocery store in town is probably a few blocks away from your home; whereas in the country, a store of any size can be several miles away. Grocery lists are written for one to two week supplies because it is often too far to go back for an additional bottle of milk or loaf of bread.

Utilities are often a challenge in the country. To process sewage, septic tanks are built and maintained

34

TEXAS LAND / ROUNDUP

according to government specifications and permits.

Lightning storms frequently disable distribution lines, making gasoline or diesel driven generators a nice amenity for maintaining an electric power supply. Wells and pumps are required to supply water to the home, and for other uses. If the pumps are run by electric motors, they quit working when the power goes off and you are without water as well as electricity.

Movie theaters, restaurants, and other recreation venues are less frequented by country folk, not only because of the distance from the ranch; but they just don’t get through working in time. A ranch day normally starts at daybreak and ends when it gets too dark to see. A rancher never goes to bed with all the day’s tasks completed. There is always something else that should have been done. Work weeks are 6 ½ days reserving Sunday mornings for church, unless “the ox is in the ditch” and you have to work that morning as well.

Some people aspire to raise cattle or other livestock after retirement. If land was primarily bought as a place to spend leisure time, conflicts of interests may develop by entering a livestock business. There is always something to be done when raising animals—stock to tend, water to check, and fence to mend or build. Property owners need to enter ranching with eyes wide open and have a plan to balance ranch responsibilities with dreams of leisure.

Ranching can be strenuous and require a substantial amount of hours; so we should make sure we have the physical health, energy and time to manage the business.

It is critically important that we share the same or parallel goals with our spouse, not only for the ranch, but also for life off the property as well. Fishing and shopping may not conflict. A ten-day cruise and heifer calving season are conflicting opportunities.

The long term goals of ranching require continual effort and a passion. We need to understand the aspirations and intentions of the children and grandchildren. Are we beginning a family ranching heritage? Do subsequent generations share the same vision and desires?

Living and working in the country has many rewards and people ranch because they and their families love that way of life. However, the realities of that life style should be thoroughly understood and accepted before transitioning from an urbanite to a life in the country.

OPERATIONAL PLAN AND BUDGETS Develop an operational plan for your proposed ranch with well-defined goals. Ranch goals should be specific, measurable, attainable and related. Goals are a vision of where we want to go. Some ranching and natural resource management goals may take more than one generation to achieve, so it’s important for families to share ranch management plans and ensure that everyone is on the same page.

Clearly define “profitable” and “tolerable”. Hopefully, there is non-ranch income to cover living expenses.

Profitable is income exceeding expense. Tolerable may be generating enough revenue to cover all or most of the production costs. Due to land value appreciation, net worth accumulates with time.

Regardless of the approach taken, it is critically important to establish a budget and adhere to that budget. Any variation from original projections creates the need for communication with family. Variations may seem small and not worthy of reevaluation of goals and objectives, but small shifts in management plans can lead to long-term changes in cash flow and draw on nonranch funds.

ASSET INVENTORY An important tool to use in evaluating the value of a prospective ranch is to inventory its assets before making the purchasing decision. Does the ranch contain good wildlife habitat? Existence of wildlife habitat is an asset because establishment costs are avoided. If habitat has to be developed or improved, how much will it cost?

A list of facilities and their conditions are part of the asset inventory. Is the property low-fenced or highfenced? Which type of fencing is needed to fit your operational plan? What buildings are present on the property and will they meet your needs? Do they need repairs? Are water systems and other utilities in place where you need them? Equipment and supplies need to be inventoried and their condition noted.

Maybe the prospective ranch has too much equipment for your operational plan. People in ranching often fall victim to hardware disease. This condition typically manifests itself in recognizable colors—yellow, green, blue, red and white. To the unsuspecting eye it looks like a bulldozer, backhoe, tractor with loader, skid steer, UTV, welder, stock trailer and 4 wheeler all tucked neatly inside a new barn located conveniently adjacent to a set of corrals made from steel pipe. Some of the unneeded equipment on the prospective ranch may have resale value and can be considered as a source of revenue.

During the study process, talk to people who have been successful in the type of agricultural enterprises you envision. They can describe what has worked for them and what hasn’t. What you learn in these conversations will help you avoid the same mistakes they made.

If the necessary financing is available and you and your family are certain that country life will be enjoyable, then you are ready to enter the ranching business. You have got to love it to be successful.

TEXAS LAND / SPOTLIGHT

TEXAS LAND / PROFILE

K

en Hoerster, founder of Texas Ranches for Sale in Boerne, was destined to be a ranch real estate broker. “I can’t imagine doing anything else,” Hoerster said. “I have the privilege of helping people make some of the biggest investments of their lives…investments that can pay both financial and emotional dividends…investments that can change people’s lives for the better.”

THEN

Livestock trails winding their way through the rugged hills southwest of Mason provided Hoerster’s initial path to ranch real estate. Although he was reared in Dallas, he spent his weekends and summers working alongside his father, Harold, on their family ranch, which was home to Angus cattle and Angora goats.

“Doing ranch work that ranged from building and repairing fences, drenching goats and working cattle were some of the greatest learning experiences of my life,” Hoerster said. “It was hard, good work that gave me a strong work ethic that continues to serve me—and my clients—well.”

Harold had grown up on the property. At the time, the ranch house didn’t have a hot water heater or an indoor toilet so the family relied on an outhouse. Telephone service was delivered via a party line. Harold attended a one-room school house.

“Even as a child, I was struck between the difference in the early life that my dad lived and my own life,” Hoerster said. “The world had come a long way in a short time. I felt a stronger kinship to the rhythm of the land than the rhythm of the city.”

His mother, Fran, was also a native of Mason, meaning both sets of his grandparents lived in the area. The crystalline water of the Llano River and the nearby live water creeks were his playground.

“Those early years spent on the land were humbling because they let me really experience the majesty of God’s creation first hand,” Hoerster, who still counts the landscape transected by the Llano River as his favorite place in Texas, said.

When it was time for college, Hoerster headed east moving from Dallas to Stephen F. Austin State University in Nacogdoches where he majored in finance and minored in real estate. It was the early 80s, when high profile real estate tycoons were monopolizing the headlines and the best seller lists. Hoerster read everything he could get his hands on.

“I was intrigued by the fine art of a good deal from the very beginning,” he said.

His college roommate spent his summers working in commercial real estate and his tales of deals done just whetted Hoerster’s appetite for the business. By the time Hoerster’s graduation rolled around in

Greatest Accomplishment “My greatest accomplishment in life is being married to my beautiful wife Lauren,” Hoerster said.

The couple met in Bible study and hit it off when they discovered a shared love of animals. Lauren is a veterinarian.

“She is my best friend and we do everything together,” Hoerster said.

They enjoy traveling to Colorado where they visit Lauren’s family and explore the southwestern portion of the state around Telluride and Durango by jeep and hiking.

When they’re at home in the Hill Country on their place located between Comfort and Boerne, they ride horses. Lauren is an accomplished equestrian who has competed in hunter jumper, western pleasure and more recently competitive trail riding.

They also hunt birds and spend time kayaking “It doesn’t matter what we do,” Hoerster said. “It’s always a gift to be together in the outdoors.”

the mid-80s, the hot real estate market had cooled considerably. Undeterred by tough conditions, Hoerster went to work for Dave Ramsey, a Houston-based real estate developer. At the time, Ramsey was developing retail projects in Charleston, South Carolina, and Jacksonville, Florida. Hoerster headed farther east.

“Dave taught me the value of getting out of my comfort zone,” Hoerster said. “He made it clear that my job was to connect the right buyer and seller—not to sit around and hope that something would come together and fall at my feet.”

After several years, Hoerster seized a new opportunity that moved his base back to Dallas and shifted his markets to Dallas-Fort Worth; Phoenix, Arizona; Albuquerque, New Mexico; and Memphis, Tennessee.

Eventually, he moved to Memphis, where he headed up the retail development arm of a local company and developed more than 700,000 square feet of retail space. Then he had an epiphany.

“Commercial real estate is a dog-eat-dog world,” Hoerster said. “It’s fast-paced and numbers-driven with 38

the ultimate goal of enhancing a company’s stock price.

Every deal was simply a cold, financial transaction. I knew I needed something different.”

So he made it happen.

NOW The first step was returning to his beloved Texas.

“I needed to get back to my roots,” Hoerster said.

“I craved the personal interaction and relationships that come with helping people create legacies for their families.”

San Antonio, his birthplace, was a natural gateway to the Hill Country, West Texas and South Texas, the regions that would become the focus of his new brokerage.

Today, the company routinely serves 52 counties and ventures beyond those borders when opportunities arise.

“The beauty of Texas is its different looks,” Hoerster said. “Every property is unique, even properties that are right next to each other. It’s a splendor only Texans know.”

The next step was founding a ranch real estate brokerage built on the principles Hoerster holds dear. In 2002, he launched Texas Ranches for Sale. It’s a fullservice company that focuses on recreational properties, live water properties, hunting properties, one-of-a-kind properties and homes on acreage.

“Texas Ranches for Sale is a service-oriented company,” Hoerster said. “From the beginning, my goal was to provide customers with personal and professional attention along with unsurpassed knowledge of the market and cutting-edge marketing tools.”

He got off to a fast start in the industry and counts his first two ranch real estate deals as his easiest.

“When I was getting started, a colleague suggested I get to know a specific broker, so I called the broker just to introduce myself,” Hoerster said. “He told me that he had a client who was interested in purchasing two ranches in South Texas.”

As fate would have it, Hoerster knew of two ranches for sale that weren’t being advertised. The potential buyer wanted to go see them immediately, but Hoerster was scheduled to be out-of-town. The buyer was so intrigued, he went and looked at the properties on his own. A few days later, the buyer called Hoerster and said he wanted to buy both ranches—with cash. The transaction closed in 30 days.

“It was exhilarating to close so quickly, especially since I was used to commercial real estate deals that could take up to two years,” Hoerster said. “I was hooked—and off to the races. I’ve never looked back.”

In 2013, he embraced a business coaching program called CORE that helped him leverage his effectiveness.

“CORE teaches you to be a businessman first and a broker second,” Hoerster said.

Unlike many brokers who handle every aspect of their business themselves, CORE has taught Hoerster to recognize the value of a well-organized team of experts who each bring special skills to every deal.

“The tendency of many brokers is to do it all themselves,” Hoerster said. “In my experience, hiring qualified people is an investment in productivity.”

The team approach allows each member to make the most of their time and respective talents. The team includes: Krista Upham, agent; Richard Coiner, agent and wildlife biologist; Mandy Knighton, client concierge; Maleigha McCall, client concierge; and Vick Garza, marketing coordinator.

“In real estate, people often refer to the highest and best use of the land,” Hoerster said. “The same concept applies to time and talents. By enlisting a team, we can make the highest and best use of our respective talents. Going into 2016, I feel that I have the best team that I have ever had in place. For me personally, that means I can focus on meeting more potential clients, generating more leads and providing personalized customer service.”

The entire team concentrates on superior marketing techniques. The time Hoerster spent in commercial real estate set the bar for marketing research, tools and materials very high.

“The marketing packages used in commercial real estate are phenomenal,” Hoerster said. “They have to be because you’re competing for the attention of national retail clients. I apply those same standards to ranch real estate.”

While he isn’t willing to give away the specific tricks of his trade, Hoerster will say that market knowledge, cutting-edge technology and detailed marketing packages are the tools his team combines with specific marketing techniques to deliver results for clients.

“Our track record show that we can market—and find buyers—to get the job done,” Hoerster said.

Sometimes the job isn’t straight forward, but it’s still definitely worth the extra effort. He cites one of his most interesting deals as a case in point. The property was a highly improved ranch northwest of Houston. The seller was entangled in bankruptcy

proceedings and the sale was ordered by the court, so the deal was tenuous from the get-go.

“The silver lining was that the purchaser was buying the property as a gift for his daughter and son-in-law, who was a legendary military hero,” Hoerster said.

“The couple planned to use the ranch to host Wounded Warrior hunts. It was a perfect ending because the buyer was committed to both land stewardship and giving back to the community.”

Other times, Mother Nature makes the job challenging. Of course, the unexpected discoveries keep the days interesting and make for great stories.

One day Hoerster was showing a substantial ranch in Kinney County. He and the clients were in a four-seater ATV when they encountered two big rattlers. Instead of slithering away, the rattlesnakes came toward the vehicle. Hoerster had a pistol and dispatched both

snakes. Later that day, they encountered several more big rattlers. The buyer decided there were way too many reptilian neighbors and asked to be shown something else.

“As it turns out, the seller didn’t allow anyone to kill rattlesnakes on the ranch. It was rugged—and they had multiplied,” Hoerster said. “It was an ‘interesting’ property to show, but I found the right buyer despite all of the rattlesnakes.”

It’s the brushes with nature—even rattlesnakes— that make ranch real estate an avocation instead of a vocation for Hoerster.

“I have a strong faith in God,” Hoerster said. “I thank Him a lot for where I am, what I’m blessed with and the creation He wrought. Every piece of land is unique, so there is an opportunity to discover beauty every day— and share it with other people.”

When did you realize that you wanted to be an artist?

I never really grasped the concept or understood what wanting to be an artist looked like until my thirties. At the age thirty-three, I made the big decision to quit everything cold turkey and make art full time. I wanted art to be my job.

Has creativity been a lifelong pursuit and passion?

Oh yeah. I’ve been making things since an early childhood.

I think if I would have been more technical and structural in mind, I would have been an architect or something. Maybe an astronaut, LOL. I always make time for art. As an adult, I really got to explore my creativity through my career working in kitchens.

How have you honed your skills? Did you seek out art education or are you self-taught?

When I made the decision to make art full time, I moved to Seattle. I attended the Mark Kang-Ohiggins Atelier at the Gage Academy. Though I was comfortable in creative expression and exploring concept, I still was insecure with my technical skills. I wanted to go further with it and break down the ego complex I was having about being a natural artist or a taught artist. Humans have been making art forever, so I wanted to learn the old ways of the masters

44

and I got that Renaissance experience with Mark. The uniqueness of his Atelier was that, I could maintain my abstract contemporary expression without going full blown classical. That one year experience of nose-to-the-grindstone studying art was the bulk of my art education. I did get accepted to San Francisco Art Institute with a Presidential Scholarship. I stayed there for a year. As well, I dabbled in some anatomy and figure classes in New York City.

What is your preferred medium?

I paint with acrylic.

What is it about acrylic that allows you to be most expressive?

I started using acrylic in 2004. Working in one medium has been important because it allowed me to ask myself; “Do I want to paint or do I want to play around?” I have enjoyed embracing that medium and making structure and formula with it. As fast as my brain goes and the way I layer and mix…I love its quick drying time. Sometimes I think about expanding into other mediums…just to really switch things up. I used to get sometimes weird with my relationship with acrylic paint because I have been asked by oil painters, “When am I going to take the training wheels off?” I guess

TEXAS LAND / GALLERY

if someone gave me an art residency, I would get crazy and go into my oil period. I seem to be doing good at creating the illusion of oil paintings with my acrylic. Commonly I get asked “Is that oil?”

Why cows?

Ah man. Me and cows. They really are like big ol’ doggies.

We just bonded. It happened when I moved to Texas in the summer of 2013. As cliché as it sounds to come to Texas and paint cows, I believe I am being pretty authentic about it. As an art maker, I find the cow to be such a fundamental subject matter that anyone can relate to, but the depth in that subject is endless.

Do you have ties to ranching or dairy farming? Is your passion for cows a reflection of early experiences?

I didn’t start creating ties until I got the opportunity to do commission work for a farm in Abbott. I got to actually interact and hangout with these cows. It touched me a certain way. And from there, it was like…I paint cows, really good, and it makes me happy. I think my passion for cows comes from my curiosity of them, which is influenced by my time working in kitchens. It’s about getting to the source.

Other than that, it’s a love for animals, compassion and

connection to nature…these cows are like wildlife to me.

Do you prefer painting beef cattle or dairy cattle?

What’s the major difference, if any, from an artistic perspective? Do you have a breed that you prefer to paint? What makes that breed special to you?

I have no preference. I wouldn’t know the difference. It’s all wildlife to me. If I was in Africa, I would paint rhinos and elephants. Painting cows is also a learning process. I have had patrons come look at my work and give me education on horn development, types of horns and posture of the animal.

I get really excited to know that my paintings are showing up anatomically correct to spark the viewer in conversation.

What is your ideal painting situation?

I enjoy painting in my studio space. When I am outside with the cows, I am up close, taking reference photos, really getting in the herd and feeling their energy. My brain is remembering that feeling. I take that back to the studio when I go and start painting. When I am outside, I just want to be outside.

If you’re looking at a herd of cows, how do you choose your subject?

Oh, I just get in there and start taking pictures and really capture them in their natural actions. I like to look for interconnected-ness. Them either engaging with me or with each other.

The energy is always high at first because they want to know who I am, plus we got the cowcake out. It’s wild.

Then everyone slows down and naturally set up for some family shots.

What makes a “good” face?

I guess the ones that got something to say. It’s those cows helping me develop my titles.

What do you want to people to take away from an encounter with your art?

Well, that’s a tough one, because art is such a personal experience for the viewer. Ultimately, happiness and childlike joy. I like to think of my paintings as a “de-stressor”. I love the personal connection with a viewer and even more so when they take home that painting to be happy about…that’s golden. It’s like a family moment.

T

he historic Robinson Creek Ranch, owned by the same family since 1949, is known by locals as the 'Diamond A Ranch' and is one of the most spectacular ranches in this part of the state.

This legendary ranch, comprising of 2,083 acres, is located 12.5 miles northwest of Granbury, in an area of Central Texas that portrays some truly iconic Texas landscapes. Driving time from Fort Worth is 50 minutes and 90 minutes from Dallas. Historic Granbury with its charming square is the county seat of Hood County, Texas offering fishing and boating on Lake Granbury as well as fine restaurants and shopping.

HISTORY In 1949, Carl J. Aldenhoven purchased what was originally a 5,000 ranch as a European-style hunting retreat for himself and guests, but had a real passion to make the ranching operation one of the best in the area. One of the original Texas Registered Brangus herds was developed here, winning many awards at numerous stock shows from Texas to Colorado. His heirs continue to live and work on the remaining 2,083Âą acres of this fine ranch.

SETTING The ranch is situated in the Cross Timbers area of Texas, crossed by Robinson Creek, hills varying as much as 200 feet in elevation change, and large open pastures surrounded by cedar breaks offering superb hunting as well as excellent grazing for cattle. Native grasses include both big and little bluestem, sideoats gramma, switch grass and Indian grass, all high-protein food sources for cattle and wildlife. Enormous Spanish oaks (live oaks), red oaks, post oaks, pecan, walnut, and elm grow in abundance on the hilltops and in the creek bottoms. Approximately 30 acres of coastal Bermuda are farmed providing winter hay for cattle and horses.

3/9/16 3:49 PM

WILDLIFE Abundant wildlife including native whitetail deer (with consistently large racks enhanced by a high percentage of calcium in the soils) is found on the ranch. Turkey, which were reestablished on this ranch by Texas Parks and Wildlife in the early 1970s with a drop of 48 birds, now number in the high hundreds and have moved vigorously into the surrounding counties of North Texas. Dove and ducks visit the lakes and creeks in profusion; cougar, hogs, fox and bobcats also live and flourish here. Hunting lease income of more than $25,000 annually is available if so desired.

WATER Rainfall averages between 28 and 35 inches per year, maintaining eight lakes, one large lake of about 10Âą acres. The deep lake (approximately 35 feet deep) has largemouth bass (up to 13 pounds have been recently caught), catfish, crappie and perch, offering excellent fishing opportunity for both children and experienced fishermen. All pastures except the big lake pasture have wells, either windmill or submersible pumps, for supplemental water. The houses are watered by submersible wells in the Trinity Aquifer giving unlimited clean, pure drinking and household water. Additionally, the ranch has frontage on both sides of Robinson Creek and Mule Branch Creek.

President Woodrow Wilson signs the Federal Farm Loan Act on July 17, 1916.

A Rural Lender Is Born Consider this.

Rural Financing: A Hot Topic in Early 1900s

The ranch next to your place is up for sale. The price is right, and the seller, a widow with no children, is giving you first opportunity to purchase the ranch.

The seeds of the Farm Credit System were planted by President Theodore Roosevelt when he appointed a Country Life Commission in 1908 to address the various problems facing a predominantly rural population. At the time, agricultural real estate loans were scarce and carried high interest rates and short terms. Until 1913, for instance, federal law prohibited national banks from making loans with maturities beyond five years.

Excited about the prospect of buying adjoining property, you talk to your local banker about a loan. But the bank will only give you a five-year note at 8 percent interest. Another bank’s best offer is 10 percent for five years, and a third bank won’t even consider financing ranchland.

That leaves you with two options — pay the high rate on a short-term note, or pass up the perfect opportunity to expand your ranch for your growing family.

Such a frustrating scenario may be unrealistic today, but in the early 1900s, this was the reality that American farmers and ranchers faced when they needed hard-to-find credit.

It was against this backdrop that the nation’s largest source of rural financing, the Farm Credit System, was born 100 years ago.

50

The commission’s report documented a lack of agricultural credit and led to several presidential and congressional studies over the next several years, including missions to Europe in search of solutions.

Eventually, some 70 rural credit measures were introduced into the 63rd Congress, but in the end, Congress settled on a cooperative credit system, patterned after the German Landschafts system, which had operated successfully since 1769.

On July 17, 1916, President Woodrow Wilson signed the Federal Farm Loan Act, setting the framework for a system of rural

TEXAS LAND / ROUNDUP

financing cooperatives that would be owned by farmers and ranchers. The following year, hundreds of these local lending cooperatives were established across the country, allowing farmers and ranchers to finally obtain longer-term loans at 5 percent interest.

Evolving Over the Century Over the past century, Congress has updated Farm Credit’s charters several times, allowing the lending system to keep pace with the evolving needs of agriculture and rural America, while holding steadfast to its mission to be a reliable lender through good times and bad. Today, the Farm Credit System has $226.8 billion in loans outstanding to farmers, ranchers, agribusiness firms, country homeowners and other rural landowners throughout the country.

Yet in 100 years, the Farm Credit System’s cooperative structure and purpose have not changed. As it celebrates its centennial this year, Farm Credit remains dedicated to the same goals with which it started — to support rural communities and American agriculture with reliable, consistent credit and financial services, today and tomorrow.

RANCH BRIGADE

Learning, Leading and Land Stewardship

TEXAS LAND / ROUNDUP

WRITTEN BY WILL CANTU PHOTOS COURTESY OF RANCH BRIGADE

LANDMAGAZINES.COM

57

When I was a little boy, I dreamed of being a cowboy. Now, I want to be a rancher. There is a difference. Cowboys wrangle cattle.

Ranchers manage natural resources to produce high-quality beef.

I became aware of the difference on my grandparents’ ranch in Lee County, but my stint at Ranch Brigade camp last summer expanded my understanding. Ranch Brigade focuses on ranching, land stewardship and leadership development.

As an Eagle Scout and a long-time church member, I’ve been to a lot of camps. Between scouting and FFA, I’ve also had many chances to learn leadership skills. The Ranch Brigade is one of the best experiences I’ve ever had. It’s a just-right mix of hands-on experience, lecture and fun.

Teens, ages 13–17, come from all over Texas to attend Ranch Brigade. Some come from a ranching background and others don’t.

Your beginning level of knowledge doesn’t matter because there’s a lot to learn.

As soon as we got to camp, which was held on the Warren Ranch near Santa Anna, we were divided into herds: Angus, Brahman, Charolais and Hereford. Throughout the week, we competed in many arenas for the honor of Top Herd.

The advisory committee and instruction staff included professionals from the TCU Ranch Management School, the Fort Worth Stock Show and Rodeo, state and federal natural resource agencies, universities and working ranches. These professionals know what you need to know and are committed to teaching you in a way that is meaningful and memorable.

For instance, the first thing we did at camp was to perform necropsy on a heifer. It’s dissection on a large-scale that gives you an immediate understanding of bovine anatomy and allows you to see the relationship of forage to beef.

The instructors were really good at keeping us engaged by alternating between classroom work, field work such as plant identification and fun. We spent our “free” time practicing for the 58

Texas Brigades FAQs The Texas Brigades is a wildlife-focused leadership development program for high school youth ages 13–17.

There are six different camps: Bobwhite Brigade, Buckskin Brigade, Bass Brigade, Waterfowl Brigade, Ranch Brigade and Coastal Brigade (new). The camps are held on private ranches and at environmental camps in different areas of Texas.

Each camp is 4 ½ days long.

WHAT WILL I LEARN AT THE TEXAS BRIGADES? You will study anatomy, biology, habitat management, population dynamics, conservation, watershed management and more. In addition, you will study photography, art, entomology, botany, leadership skills and camp-specific subjects such as fly-tying and firearms safety.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN “LEADERSHIP SKILLS”?

ranch competition, which included goat roping, post hole digging, goat sorting and wagon racing.

Communication is another component of camp. We were each assigned a Silver Bullet, a quote that was memorized to be spoken on command. If asked—and you got asked a lot—you had to recite the quote in front of the group and explain what it meant to you. It helps take the fear out of public speaking.

Creating a tri-fold is a really big deal at Ranch Brigade. The trifold is the primary communication tool used for presentations when you return home. The last night of camp doesn’t end until all of the cadets have finished their tri-folds. Our camp finished at 1:20 a.m.—the earliest of any Ranch Brigade so far. Sleep is optional at Ranch Brigade.

The goal of camp isn’t to make you the best rancher in the world; it’s to provide you enough knowledge so you can tell the story of stewardship and give back to the community. You’re encouraged to make presentations and work with the media.

The more presentations you make after returning home, the more likely it is that you’ll earn a chance to go back to Ranch Brigade as an assistant herd leader and receive one of several scholarships provided by the Fort Worth Stock Show and Rodeo.

The largest is $4,000.

Ranch Brigade is something I will remember for a long time, not only because of the people I met, but because of the impact it made on me. It changed the way I think about the land and cattle and what we can do with them.

Cattle aren’t just steaks but tools that allow us to improve the land. And land isn’t just grass and dirt, it’s the foundation of a way of life that keeps rangeland open and productive. Productive rangeland provides a home to things such as water recharge, oxygen production and wildlife habitat. Whether people realize it or not, rangeland is home base for life—and ranchers take care of it for us all.

No matter what profession you choose, it will be important to develop the ability to think, plan and communicate.

Many of the activities at the Texas Brigades revolve around teambuilding and critical thinking. The Brigades develops your ability to tell stewardship’s story, so you will learn to write for the print media, how to present educational programs and even how to be interviewed on radio and television.

WHAT ARE THE QUALIFICATIONS? You must be 13–17 years old and commit to conducting a minimum of three educational programs when you return home.

IS THERE A FEE? Yes, there is a $500 tuition fee for cadets, which covers meals, lodging and supplies. Don’t let money stop you from applying.

Texas Brigades will help you find financial assistance.

HOW DO I APPLY? Applications are online at www.TexasBrigades.org or you may obtain an application by contacting Zelina Alvarado.

Phone: 855-TXBRIGS E-mail: zalvarado@texasbrigades.org Applications are due by March 15, 2016.

he ranch, which features rolling pastures resplendent with native grass and fields suitable for cultivation, is a testimony to the Morriss family’s ongoing care.

Numerous windmills and an extensive water trough system meet the needs of livestock and wildlife.

Almost two miles of private, paved road leads you from Highway 41 to the handsome ranch headquarters nestled in the ranch’s heart.

The compound features two main ranch houses, a wrangler’s house, barns, gated pens and equipment sheds. Just over an hour and a half from the San Antonio International Airport, Morriss Ranch offers rare Hill Country beauty, large-scale landscapes with convenient interstate access to Kerrville and San Antonio.

I

n Texas, many secret places long thought forgotten to the pages of history lie open and waiting for the curious, the ambitious and, often times, the adventurous. These unique venues not only invite visitors with their breathtaking landscapes and wealth of amenities, but also with elements significantly less tangible. Beyond the modern luxuries, the native Indian folktales weave a greater magic, a sense that the spirit of the land—and the window to history itself—still survives. Stories passed down through generations of historic battles and magic healing waters stir the imagination, invoke a sense of adventure and welcome all who find their way to Indian Hot Springs Ranch.

Sited between Fort Davis and El Paso, just a short distance from the world-famous waters of the fabulous Rio Grande, Indian Hot Springs Ranch is a ranch without equal. Nestled in a small valley formed by the Rio Grande’s cut through the Quitman Mountains in Hudspeth County, the ranch is rich in history, easily accessible and almost completely surrounded by the majestic mountain range. This prime mountainside locale offers a combination of serene and restful beauty in an invigorating, smog-free valley of the Rio Grande, remote from the hustle and bustle of big-city pollution.

From behind the Indian Hot Springs Hotel, the mountains of Mexico rise from the horizon in a stunning natural backdrop mirrored in the natural native elements showcased through the handcrafted architecture. Originally constructed in the 1920s and partially restored in recent years, the masonry hotel is within a stone’s throw of the Rio Grande and once connected to the small quaint Mexican village of Ojo Caliente on the Mexican side of the river via swinging bridge. Electricity is provided by Rio Grande Electric Coop and Dell Telephone currently serves the ranch with fiber optic cable buried and ready to be powered. In addition to the two homes, the ranch also affords two adjacent duplex apartments and a privates cantina (saloon) for guests to enjoy and relax amidst the beauty of the Rio Grande Valley.

Featuring 6,400 breathtaking acres and an elevation of over 3,000 feet, the Indian Hot Springs Ranch is more than just a place to see, but a place to experience. At the hotel spa, one will find picturesque landscapes, intriguing historical sites and naturally heated waters that flow throughout the property. When the first white explorers came to this part of the valley of the Rio Grande, they found stone troughs that were hand-dug by prehistoric people. These troughs, strategically located around the warm springs, provided both access and enjoyment of the therapeutic waters. Later, the Indians made use of the natural stone “bathtubs” for bathing in the waters and considered them to be enchanted liquids capable of miraculous healing. For centuries, Indian warriors came to recover from their battles and rest up from their forays across both sides of the border. Centuries later, many visitors over the years have written testaments to the to the hot springs’ soothing, calming and even healing effects while they were guests at the ranch.

Ranging between 117°F and 81°F, the eight springs that give Indian Hot Springs Ranch include: Soda Spring, a cold spring, lies on the northernmost end of the ranch; Beauty or Horse Trough Spring lies north of the hotel building near the entrance; Chief Spring, the largest spring, is pumped into the bathhouse; Squaw Spring was used by Indian women; Dynamite Spring was dynamited in the 1970s in an attempt to increase the flow; Stump Spring is used in the wading pools; Mexican Spring was used for many years by people crossing the nearby Rio Grande; and Masons or Fishing Hole Spring is the farthest east of the springs. In addition to the springs, two wells supply fresh water to the ranch along with Rio Grande water rights for two large duck ponds.

Though no minerals are available, the ranch offers a wealth of native vegetation and wildlife. The diverse foliage includes plenty of salt cedar, mesquite and cacti, along with many varieties of grasses and shrubs that provide wonderful cover for the plentiful game that call Indian Spring Ranch home.

Aoudad, javelina, whitetail deer, mule deer, bobwhite quail and dove roam the ranch, and a wide variety of migratory birds use the ponds as they traverse the West Texas flyway. This well-maintained ranch has been slightly hunted and has an excellent feeding program in place.

Even with the majestic beauty of the distant mountains, the plethora of native wildlife and the prime Rio Grande locale, the area of Indian Hot Springs Ranch has long been coveted not just for its physical amenities, but the spirit of its springs. From generals who led Buffalo Soldiers across the valley to modern doctors of El Paso interested in their healing properties, the mystery of the ranch’s waters has inspired many to invest in this area and discover the truth behind the legend. This unique opportunity allows you to discover the beauty— and perhaps the mystery—of Indian Hot Springs Ranch.

iversity is a watchword for the ranching industry in the 21st century. Diverse populations of plants and animals signal ecologically healthy rangelands.

Diverse, profitable enterprises signal an economically healthy operation.

“Over time, the ranching industry has changed,” said Stan Bevers, a professor and agricultural economist with the Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service, who is based in Vernon. “Gone are the days when cattle alone could support ranches. Those who succeed in production livestock agriculture today have identified and implemented diverse enterprises that contribute to their ranches’ overall bottom lines.”

WRITTEN BY LORIE WOODWARD CANTU

“A COW ALONE CAN’T PAY FOR AN ACRE OF LAND OR ITS OPERATION. TO MAKE ENDS MEET, RANCHERS MUST PUT EVERY ASSET TO WORK.”

72

OPPORTUNITY AND NECESSITY The diversification of ranch income has occurred imperceptibly over time. It has been driven by both opportunity and necessity.

Dr. Clay Mathis, director of the King Ranch Institute for Ranch Management in Kingsville said, “Go back 100 years and Texas ranches were invested in livestock—cattle and horses as well as sheep and goats in the Hill Country and West Texas. Then time passed and opportunities arose for many in the forms of oil and gas development and wildlife-based recreation. Families embraced those opportunities because it provided financial stability and allowed them to support additional family members on the ranch.”

While families were busy seizing opportunities, market forces were at work making these operational changes necessities for survival as well. Unlike other business professionals, production agriculturists control neither the cost of their inputs nor the price of their products.

“The reason that ranchers have to diversify their income streams is so simple that it’s often overlooked,” Bevers said.

“The costs associated with owning a ranch have increased so drastically that in order to cover their operating expense ranchers must utilize every asset on the ranch.”

On the cost side of the equation, Bevers cited the expense of a pickup truck as one example. In 1970, a pickup cost $2,300 on average; in 2010 that cost was about $35,000; and today, it can exceed $50,000. Land is another prime example. In 1970, land in Lee County, which is located about half-way between Austin and Houston, cost on average $235 per acre; in 2014, the average cost of an acre of land there was $4,829 per acre.

“A cow alone can’t pay for an acre of land or its operation,” Bevers said. “To make ends meet, ranchers must put every asset to work.”

Assets vary with each operation. They can include grass for grazing, mineral assets such as oil and gas, gravel or kaliche, water for sale or lease, utility easements, wildlife for hunting and other hospitality-based enterprises as well the opportunity

TEXAS LAND / ROUNDUP

to add other agricultural enterprises such as hay production or stocker operations.

“As ranchers take advantage of individual assets or embark on new enterprises, they have to be sure the new ventures are worth the costs—in time, emotions and money,” Bevers said.

Some costs, such as the aesthetic impacts often associated with power lines or wind turbines, may be emotional as well as financial. Other costs may be purely financial.

Bevers recently consulted with the management of a large Texas ranch that runs a 4,000 head cowherd and is diversified with wildlife and farming enterprises. Bevers was asked to analyze the overall operation and suggest improvements to strengthen its bottom line.

Traditionally, the ranch planted a significant percentage of its land to wheat in the fall. Conceivably, this allowed the managers to add value to the ranch’s calf crop by retaining ownership and selling larger calves later in the year. When Bevers put a pencil to the operation, he discovered the cost of the equipment, labor, and inputs such as seed, fertilizer and fuel outstripped the farming enterprise’s earnings.

“Not every alternative enterprise makes sense, even those that have been a traditional part of an operation,” Bevers said.

“Ranchers have to be clear-eyed about which alternative enterprises add revenue and which ones don’t. If an enterprise doesn’t add money, then don’t expend the manpower and capital trying to make it work.”

WILDLIFE For ranchers, the most common form of income diversification beyond adding production agriculture enterprises such as stocker or hay operations is wildlife.

“Across most of Texas, I think it’s safe to say that adding a wildlife enterprise is one of the most common ways ranch owners choose to diversify their income streams,” Mathis said.

Ranching and wildlife management are complementary.

Wildlife habitat is a by-product of well-managed rangeland.

In many cases, the needs of wildlife and livestock are similar enough that livestock and range management practices just need to be tweaked to help strike the balance necessary to provide a superlative home for wildlife too.

“In a lot of cases, income from wildlife has surpassed income from livestock,” Mathis said.

Managing for wildlife became even easier with the passage of Proposition 11 in 1995 which created wildlife tax valuation.

It provides the same tax benefits as agricultural valuation without requiring owners to run livestock. The existence of the wildlife valuation gives additional flexibility for grazing management even for ranches that have livestock operations.

Under traditional ag valuation, landowners must meet minimum mandatory stocking rates year-round regardless of range

or weather conditions. Under wildlife valuation, landowners must implement three of seven specified wildlife management practices—and grazing can be used as one of many habitat management tools.` THE BOTTOM LINE Ranching, unlike any other occupation, engenders a deep emotional attachment to the land and the lifestyle. Despite that spiritual connection, ranching always has been—and will always be—a business.

“My advice to ranchers is: ‘Start with the end in mind—and work backwards,’” Bevers said. “Know what the fixed costs are associated with owning and managing land, and then determine what enterprises will not only cover their own variable costs but address significant portion of the fixed costs as well.”

And, remember there is no such thing as easy money in the world of ranching.

“Every alternative income stream takes work—a lot of work,” said David K. Langford, vice president emeritus of the Texas Wildlife Association and renowned wildlife photographer, who lives near Comfort.

He and his wife, Myrna, host nature photography workshops on their portion of his family’s six-generation Hill Country ranch known as Hillingdon Ranch. The ranch is owned by more than two dozen family members, but leased by and run as a contiguous unit under the management of Langford’s cousin, Robin Giles and his immediate family.

“While Robin and his family bear the day-to-day responsibility of running the ranch, our extended family bears the long-term responsibilities of keeping the ranch in production,” Langford said.

The land, which is located in Kendall County was purchased by Langford’s great grandfather Alfred Giles in 1885 for $.50 per acre.

In 2014, the average price per acre for the Land Management Area including Kendall County was $7,500 per acre.

“Individually our family landowners have resisted the temptation to carve out their parcels and sell them to the highest bidder,” Langford said. “Collectively, we’ve decided the highest and best use of the land is keeping the ranch intact and working.”

Hillingdon Ranch is home to an integrated livestock operation that includes cattle, sheep, and goats as well as lease hunting. Another cousin has constructed more than 27 miles of mountain biking trails on his parcel, which overlays but doesn’t replace all of the other ranching activities on his land. He and his wife hosts major bike races to help defray the cost of land ownership.

“There’s nothing about helping land pay for itself that’s easy,” Langford said. “But when you look out and see hills, trees and open rangeland instead of rooftops, it’s all worth it.”

MILTON GREESON A Legacy of Change WRITTEN BY LORIE WOODWARD CANTU

74

A

lthough rich legacies shape his life, Milton Greeson Jr. is not hidebound by tradition. “Owners of legacy businesses and legacy ranches are not always open-minded when it comes to change,” Greeson said. “I embrace it. Change is inevitable.

If you don’t embrace it you will get left behind. Today you can get so far behind so quickly that you’ll never catch up.”

He is the fifth generation of his family to call Victoria home and the third generation to own and manage the Atzenhoffer auto sales group in his hometown. And, he, along with his wife Bridey, represent the fifth generation of the O’Connor family to ranch in the Coastal Plains. They steward land in Victoria, Refugio and Goliad counties.

“Many times when businesses or land is passed through the generations, people get caught trying to ‘do it like Grandfather did’ either out of nostalgia or fear of change,” Greeson said. “The reality is that if Grandfather was running the show today, he couldn’t do it the way he did it then—and expect to be successful.”

He continued, “I’m always looking for new ways to improve our processes at the business and on the ranch. I keep an open mind and listen to the people around me. I try to learn what works for them and then evaluate whether it has an application for us.”

TEXAS LAND / PROFILE

THE BEGINNING For a boy who loved the outdoors, growing up in Victoria, with its easy access to the Coast and the ranches of South Texas, was an awful lot like growing up in Heaven. Because most of the land in the region bounded by Victoria, Refugio and Goliad was settled and held by two families, the spaces remained wide open.

His father, Milton “Bully” Greeson Sr., was an avid outdoorsman who kept a kennel full of bird dogs. Together father and son hunted dove, quail, and waterfowl. They pursued whitetails in South Texas and muleys in West Texas.

His maternal grandfather, E.L. “Ed” Atzenhoffer, purchased property in Rockport in the 1940s, so saltwater fishing was also a way of life. While Greeson admits an affinity for chasing marlin and sailfish, his passion is saltwater flyfishing for tarpon, permit and bone fish, and locally stalking the flats for trout and redfish.

“It’s more like hunting because you walk the flats constantly looking for fish,” Greeson said. “Then you present the fly to them and try to entice them to eat. It’s a different kind of challenge and has always been a great source of excitement.

My favorite thing about the outdoors, especially hunting and fishing, is that you never know what’s going to happen next.”

76

While the family made plenty of time for outdoor adventures, work was also part of the mix. His maternal grandfather founded Atzenhoffer Chevrolet in 1926. Greeson’s paternal grandfather, Thomas A. Greeson, operated Greeson’s Dairy, so Milton Sr. grew up milking cows and helping produce high-quality dairy products. In the 1950s, Milton Sr. sold his interest in the dairy to his brothers and purchased an interest in the auto dealership.

By the time Milton Jr. was 12 years old, he was working at the dealership, learning the business from the ground up. As he got older, he split his time in the summers working at the auto group and on local ranches.

“I’ve always been interested in business and ranching,” Greeson said.

He joined the firm full-time in 1974 after graduating from the University of Texas eventually becoming president of the family business. These days, the responsibility of day-to-day operations rests with his nephew, Tommy Greeson Taylor, Ed’s great grandson and the fourth generation at the helm.

Greeson’s business and his family were in Victoria, so it made sense to continue to call Victoria home. In the mid-1980s, he lived next door to Marie O’Connor Dunn. When her daughter, Bridey, returned to Victoria from Dallas after graduating from SMU and launching a career in big city banking, Greeson and she rekindled their lifelong friendship. Friendship turned into romance and then into marriage in 1987. Greeson gained a life partner and an addiction.

“When Bridey and I started dating, she had just started showing cutting horses,” Greeson said. “I started riding them with her and got hooked.”

After three decades of competition, the pull of the arena is still strong because the outcome is never guaranteed.

“Every time you go to the herd, it’s a different experience,” Greeson said. “You can’t predict how the horse will feel, how the cattle will react or how the judge will score the way you and the horse worked.”

There are so many variables, cutting can never be fully mastered.

“The thing that is so challenging about cutting is that one day it seems you can do nothing wrong and the next day it seems you can do nothing right,” Greeson said. “It’s a real chicken and feathers deal—and a very humbling sport.”

The competition and challenge keep the couple coming back.

“We enjoy the high-level of competition and the challenge of winning,” Greeson said. “Unlike a race horse whose performance is gauged by a clock, a cutting horse is scored by a judge. You not only have to manage the horse and cattle well, but you have to deliver what that judge considers important in a cutting performance.

Showing cutting horses is not a casual pursuit for the Greesons. In 2012, Bridey earned the amateur division world championship title at the National Cutting Horse Association World Finals. In December 2015, Greeson qualified his mount for the World Finals.

“The challenge is to deliver a consistent, perfect run every time you enter the arena regardless of the variables,” Greeson said.

“No matter how hard you work, you can always be better. I like to be driven to be my best.”

THE LAND Bridey is a descendant of Thomas O’Connor, the pioneering cattleman who amassed more than 500,000 acres in six South Texas counties. When the couple married, Greeson began managing their portion of the historic ranch lands. In hindsight, his relative lack of experience in ranching was a benefit.

“Because I didn’t bring a lot of ranching experience to the table, I had to learn as I went, but being in business had already taught me to adapt to change,” Greeson said. “It had also taught me to find experienced people and listen to what they had to say.”

As a result, he sought out technical assistance to develop the best management practices for the property. Then, he implemented the practices while constantly monitoring the results. If something wasn’t working as well as it could, he changed it.

“Some of those early practices that were developed are still in use today,” Greeson said. “And some of them have been replaced. You can’t afford to fall in love with your ideas especially if they’re not working.”

From the beginning, he has managed the land for both cattle and wildlife.

“We maintain high-quality, diverse wildlife habitat, but we also run a profitable cattle operation,” Greeson said. “In our operation, one doesn’t take precedence over the other.”

Today, he is the general partner in Sarco Creek Cattle Co. and raises Hereford and Brahman crossbred cattle. Each herd is set up on a five-pasture annual rotation, so that each pasture rests 80 percent of the time. The rotation is varied each year, so that each pasture gets grazed during a different season, ensuring that different plant communities are grazed during each annual rotation.

“Even during drought, we never graze so close that it damages the quail habitat,” Greeson said.

They use a stockers, either native or Mexican yearlings, to bring flexibility to their forage management.

“In the years, we have extra grass we bring in stockers and run them on the gain,” Greeson said. “This allows us to maintain our cow herd at a sustainable stocking rate, meaning we don’t have to sell our ‘factories’ when the weather turns dry.”

Brush management is a constant battle.

“It’s our biggest expenditure,” Greeson said. “If brush, like change, gets ahead of you, it can be too expensive to ever catch up. I’ve seen ranches that have lost so much of their LANDMAGAZINES.COM

77

productivity to brush that they’re basically gone.”

The family relies on a combination of brush management tools including prescribed burning.

“Well-managed forage also provides a good quality fuel load to support prescribed burning,” Greeson said. “Prescribed fire works well for us because it keeps brush in check, but also creates secondary succession which benefits our wildlife and cattle.”

The land has responded to their multi-faceted stewardship. In 2006, Milton and Bridey were the recipients of the Lone Star Land Stewardship Award from the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department.

While Greeson, like many landowners, is inspired to leave the land better than he found it, he has another goal as well.

“Part of my stewardship responsibility is passing this land along to our son, Parke, in a financially stable manner,” Greeson said.

“My goal, through planning, is to ensure that he can take over the ranch without having to sell an acre or without taking on a huge burden of debt.”

Parke recently graduated from the TCU Ranch Management program after completing a Bachelor of Science in animal science at Texas Tech University. He will have the legacy of being a sixth-generation rancher.

“I want Parke to be aware of ranching history—both the good and the bad—so he can avoid the potential pitfalls,” Greeson said. “In South Texas, there are some land challenges. After the discovery of oil and gas there were generations of our forefathers who didn’t have to rely on the land’s productivity to continue ranching.”

78

He continued, “While ranching is exponentially easier when you have plenty of oil and gas production, you better be prepared for the land to stand on its own productivity—or be prepared to lose it.”

THE CONSERVATION CONNECTION Greeson supported TWA long before he became an active member.

“From the beginning, TWA advocated for private property rights,” Greeson said. “It was this foundation that attracted me.”

Initially, he and a group of four other rancher-sportsmen from the Victoria-Corpus Christi area brought their sons to the TWA Convention each year. The fathers thought the convention would help the boys understand the conservation issues and responsibilities associated with hunting, fishing and land ownership. Plus, the boys just thought it was fun.

“We all got together for hunting and fishing trips, but the convention was always an annual high point,” Greeson said.

Eventually, he joined the TWA Board of Directors where he serves currently. He is also a long-time director at Texas and Southwestern Cattle Raisers. Both organizations play a critical role as the collective “voice of landowners.”

“TWA is vital to landowners,” Greeson said. “It represents our interests in the legislative and regulatory arenas, but it also works to educate the general public about natural resources.

Both facets are crucial to our future.

“If we don’t stay engaged in the process and give back to our communities, we’ll lose what we’ve worked so hard to gain and maintain.”

TEXAS LAND / ASSOCIATIONS

TEXAS WILDLIFE ASSOCIATION MAKING TWA EVEN BIGGER AND BETTER YES, IT’S THAT IMPORTANT

BY DAVID YEATES, CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER

Texas Wildlife Association (TWA) had a big year in 2015. Last year, our membership increased by almost 50 percent, allowing us to reach a total membership of 10,000—a significant milestone. Leadership set the goal and implemented a plan to achieve it. Then staff and volunteers, focusing on value, outreach and incentives, worked incredibly hard to drive membership recruitment and retention. It’s invigorating to see TWA’s mission and message resonate with Texans.

By reaching 544,000 Texans, our education programs also achieved a new high watermark. Our Texas Big Game Award banquets set new records for both entries and attendance. Our Texas Youth Hunting Program added a second field operations coordinator who, in turn, helped bring on 25 new properties to host hunts this year. Let there be no doubt, these programs make a difference for Texas. Eyes are opened, lessons are learned, hunters are made, and conservationists are born.

Last year was marred by one unfortunate dark spot—the discovery of Chronic Wasting Disease in a captive deer breeding facility in Medina County. TWA, working with the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, the Texas Animal Health Commission, and the Texas Legislature, was front and center in crafting a careful response that protected the Texas deer herd and deer hunting industry, while maintaining business continuity for captive deer breeders. TWA will continue to be vigilant and actively involved in this matter going forward.

While 2015 was exceptionally satisfying, the prospect of 2016 is down right exciting. TWA will be offering new content on social media and our website as well as offering new membership benefits, more regional events and new corporate sponsors.

In addition, we’re revamping our already excellent annual convention and pushing for even more members.

TWA is on the front lines of conservation advocacy. We make a difference through youth and adult education, hunter recruitment and retention, and governmental affairs, all of which is possible because of our members’ support—in both money and time. More members mean more resources which means more school buses on ranches, more youngsters in the field, and more influence on public policy.

TWA is many things to many people, but at our core we exist to educate Texans about the value of private land conservation because here in Texas, just about all the land is privately owned and managed. Land under capable, responsible stewardship finds the ecological harmony that Mother Nature intends. A regal buck, a flushing covey, croaking frogs, twittering song birds, fluttering pollinators, and a trundling raccoon all signal a healthy, diverse landscape.

Of course, the open spaces that provide habitat for Texas’ diverse wildlife treasures here in Texas do double duty. They also act as air and water filters for our urban areas, providing enormous societal benefits. Obviously, these benefits are essential to our physical health, but open spaces, which are wild places and wild things, are also essential to our spiritual well-being.

While many may only partake of Texas wilds through the car window as they travel across the state, some will get in the field and hear the birds rise with the sun. Both benefit. For instance, I will almost certainly never see an ocelot in the wild, but I know they are out there and find great pleasure in knowing that special slice of wildness still exists. The bottom line is we all benefit from a vibrant wildlife population, directly or indirectly, whether we know it, like it, or not.

So ask a friend to join TWA. Ask all of your friends. In fact, ask a stranger—it’s that important.

TEXAS LAND / ASSOCIATIONS

TEXAS ALLIANCE OF LAND BROKERS

BY DAVID FAUST, PRESIDENT

The Texas Alliance of Land Brokers (TALB) began 22 years ago with eight founding members in central Texas. Today, we are over 300 strong.

Through the years, a new president has been appointed annually.

I have the honor of being that president for 2016.

While the organization continues to grow in the numbers, the focus and mission remain the same. To provide strong ethics, support and education to the members and to enhance their knowledge of rural properties.

Officers, directors, committee members, affiliates all devote countless hours each month to provide support to the membership, including understanding farm and ranch contracts, updates on addendums, political issues, government regulations

related to rural land ownership, mineral rights, water rights, wind rights, timber rights, etc.

Each year, our website continues to improve! Our members have a great opportunity to market properties, research financing, title companies, 1031 exchange possibilities, website experts, various contractors for our rural land needs.

Our monthly meetings are held at various locations in the Texas Hill Country. Speakers will include real estate law experts oi ad gas experts, title company owners, property tax advisors, Texas Parks and Wildlife, legislative updates, range ecology educators and more. Networking and marketing is always welcome and encouraged.

TEXAS LAND BROKERS NETWORK

BY TYLER JACOBS, PRESIDENT

The first rule of real estate always has and always will be location, location, location. It’s no different with farm and ranch properties, and has certainly proven true through the fall of 2015 and early winter of 2016. For example, commodity prices have exasperated farmland values of the south plains and even the northern panhandle unless the farm is sitting over proven reserves of irrigation water, where prices have held firm. Areas near the larger cities still show higher values, especially as they increase in size.

96

With more improvements comes more conditional valuation.

What’s next? It seems as though there are indications of more inventory being made available to buyers, with some sellers demonstrating significant motivation. Most indications show that there will be plenty of buyers for the properties who benefit from the right location. Your TLBN member brokers hope to return to the next report with a large amount of data!

The 950Âą acre Brown Ranch, ideally located between Fredericksburg and Kerrville in Gillespie County, is the pinnacle of Hill Country living.

he top-of-the-line improvements, including six homes, were designed to enhance the experience. Secure, electric entrances from HWY 783 and Fielder Road provide easy access to the high-fenced ranch, which features paved roads throughout. The extensive public road frontage enhances the property’s investment value even more by providing an opportunity for sub-division in the future. The land, which includes both native range and improved Coastal bermuda patches for hay production, has been managed to support a genetically improved white-tailed herd as well top-notch registered Charolais cattle. The deer herd, which has produced bucks measuring 160-170, has benefited from a year-round feeding program.

Superlative habitat management has ensured the presence of a host of other native Hill Country species ranging from turkey and bobcat to the occasional mountain lion. Crystalline water is plentiful in the Kline Branch and Stevens creeks, which converge near the main house, creating a large dammed lake. (Premier dam builder Edmond Jenschke has constructed several dams on the property.) The co-joined creeks leave the lake flowing as one large stream, which is fed by a strong, year-round spring. The creeks flow inside the ranch for miles providing an exceptional amount of frontage. In ad dition, there are three Trinity Aquifer water wells and five Edwards Aquifer water wells situated throughout the ranch. No expense has been spared to create and maintain this ultimate Hill Country destination. Throughout the 8,000± square-foot main residence, unique touches abound, including: the great room’s soaring 30-foot ceiling, a huge deck overlooking the lake, custom-made chandeliers, ironwork and fireplaces, and the “Wild West” grandchildren’s suite. The immaculately landscaped headquarters compound also includes a nearby guest house and a state-of-the-art equestrian barn complete with turnout paddocks and horse-safe fencing. Family and friends can also be housed at the Ranch House, a brand new 6,000-foot ranch-style house with all the latest amenities. Then, there is the Pool House, located in a beautifully landscaped, park-like clearing that boasts sprinkler and lighting systems, and provides direct access to the uniquely built, natural, rock-bottom swimming pool. The Original Ranch Headquarters House and its accompanying barn have been refurbished to exacting standards of modern taste and luxury. To keep the fun going, the owners have repurposed an old rock home into an air-conditioned “party palace” showcasing a huge bar and entertaining area. If the celebration needs to move outside, the Lookout Pavilion, which provides a perfect view of the sun setting behind the hills is available. In addition, there are two homes suitable for a foreman and staff as well as an expansive new barn featuring an office, a bunk room, bath room and completely outfitted workout center as well as space for storing equipment. All ranch equipment will convey with the sale. The Brown Ranch offers the rare combination of proximity and privacy with all the amenities of a dream destination. It is a chance to live life at the pinnacle. To see the Brown Ranch for yourself, call James Ahern Jr. at (210) 827-0505.

The property is available for $14.9 million. Property ID: 2722682

A TRANSITION YEAR FOR TEXAS LAND MARKETS?

WRITTEN BY CHARLES E. GILLILAND

RESEARCH ECONOMIST | REAL ESTATE CENTER | TEXAS A&M UNIVERSITY

TEXAS LAND / MARKET

S

ince 2010, all segments of Texas land markets have prospered with rising prices and increasing interest. Preliminary year-end results indicate that 2015 Texas land markets continued past trend of annual gains with a statewide price of $2,423 per acre, a solid three percent increase from 2014 prices. Since the six percent decline in 2009, Texas markets have posted a 36 percent increase returning a 6.2 percent annual compound rate of growth. However, the year-end results nearly match the third quarter, topping the third quarter price by a single dollar. That suggests that fourth quarter markets failed to increase at all. The 109-acre typical size indicates that the 4,959 sales included more small transactions than the 2014 market when typical size weighed in at 118 acres per transaction. The 2015 volume was the most activity since 2006.

The statewide increase ended the year on a positive note. However, some regional market results bucked the upward trend. Reflecting deteriorating profitability in commodity production, the once white-hot market for cropland appears to have cooled amid the new reality of falling corn and cotton prices. Areas dominated by cropland agriculture likely experienced some pushback as farmers and investors reevaluated the future of commodity prices. In addition, falling oil prices finally began to take a toll on demand in South Texas as market participants began to anticipate a prolonged period of low oil prices. Consequently, prices ebbed in both the Panhandle and High Plains as well as in the South Texas brush country.

Strong recreational demand continued to support rising prices in most of the state, leading to the overall increase.

The prime feature of this property is the lake formed by a dam across Evans creek and lined with huge cypress trees. This lake is over a quarter of a mile long and is as deep as 25 feet. It is stocked with bass and catfish and has a floating dock to fish and swim from. We are just finishing clearing some cedar on the far side of the lake to enhance the park-look of the lake area and to develop an alternate home site in case the new owner wants to build a new lakeside home or cabin. The views of both the lake and the surrounding hills are just awesome from this site. Another great feature is a rambling ranch house that is decorated in the Ralph Lauren style (cowboys, indians, elk antler and wagon-wheel chandeliers, steer hide rugs, and wood-plank ceilings) and has a long screened in sleeping porch as well as four bedrooms and two baths. Most of the furnishings, including lots of great antiques, will be available for sale individually or as a package deal.

Adjacent to the house is an old ceramic block barn with a huge high-fenced, irrigated garden that is planted in everything from roses to cactus to peach trees. Other out-buildings include a three-car garage with attached utility room and attached shop as well as a small equipment barn and a hunters cabin.

The terrain is diverse and includes about 65 acres of flat fertile land as well as canyons, bluffs, and mountain tops. This ranch would make a great weekend retreat with lots of activities including hunting, fishing, swimming, boating, and hiking. It would also make a great horse place or specialty farm (olives/lavender/ wine grapes). Price: $2,250,000. Contact Jim Ahern at (210) 410-2170.

This 765 acres is completely highfenced. This is not—and has not—been a breeding pen operation.

There is a great roll to the acreage and the soil can changes as easily as the topography from rich blackland to sandy lome. History buffs and artifact hunters can actually feel the times gone by with every step at the Indian campgrounds where scores of authentic arrowheads and tools have been collected Unlike so many other river ranches, the River Bluff Ranch offers loads of easy access to the shores of the Colorado including picnic and boat launch areas.
