RANCHO VIEJO

19,995± Acres in Presidio County, Texas Presented By King Land & Water, LLC

Encompassing 19,995± acres in western Presidio County about 65 miles from Marfa, historic Rancho Viejo offers a magnificent desert mountain setting featuring live water and exceptional hunting. Pioneered by the Loveless family and made famous by the Boyd-Chambers family who called this area home for more than a century, the ranch is deeply woven into the history of this region where Pancho Villa once raided, and Texas Range Joe Sittre died.

Tucked under the grand Sierra Vieja Rim, the ranch lies within a broad and rugged broken valley bordered on the west by the Sierra Madre Mountain range of Mexico and to the east by the Sierra Vieja Mountains of West Texas. The Rio Grande, a few miles to the west of the ranch, meanders through the middle of the valley. The ranch has around 2,800 feet of elevation change from 6,000 to 3,200 feet with amazing geology— outcrops, cliffs and plateaus surrounded by mountains in all directions.

Rancho Viejo is an excellent cross-section of the various habitats found in the high-, mid- and lower-elevation of West Texas. The landscape includes everything that makes the region a natural wonderland from rock outcrops and riparian woodlands laced with spring-fed live water creeks to rolling yucca grasslands, desert canyons and scrublands.

Arriving at the front gate, you get a sense of the vastness of the neighborhood and take in some of the most scenic views in North America. More than 250 miles of new roads have been improved or built, ensuring accessibility throughout the ranch.

This Far West Texas ranch is dominated by Chihuahuan Desert grasslands. The vegetative mix includes blue gramma, green sprangletop, tobosa, black gramma, chino gramma and sideoats gramma with diverse native trees of oak, juniper, mesquite, desert willow, soapberry, hackberry, ash and Mexican walnut.

Arriving at the front gate, you get a sense of the vastness of the neighborhood and take in some of the most scenic views in North America

Wildlife, Water and Minerals

Because it combines mountain habitats with grassland and desert habitats, this ranch has some of the best all-around hunting opportunities in West Texas. Situated in big mule deer country, Rancho Viejo is already enrolled in the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department’s Managed Lands Deer Program for extended hunting opportunities.

Abundant mule deer, aoudad, mountain lions and javelina can all be found here. Smaller animal and bird species, which include fox, ringtail cat, coyote, dove, Gambel’s quail and many, many large conveys of blue or scaled quail, can be found on the wooded canyon floors. Migrating neotropical songbirds use the corridors of water and vegetation making this a birder’s paradise.

Historically, Rancho Viejo has attracted wildlife as well Native Americans and early ranchers because of its springs including Musgrave,

Walker, Cold Water, McCombs and Anna Springs, which all still flow strongly today. In fact, Rancho Viejo is watered entirely by spring water and has been modernized with the underground installation of more than 135 miles of new DR9 fusion-welded poly pipe leading to a network of storage tanks and troughs. Additionally, the springs provide miles of live water in the creeks and canyons. Plus, a very large flowing hot artesian well, which comes out at 200° F, and flows for miles to the Rio Grande.

The ranch possesses 6,400 acres of Mineral Classified minerals. There are no leases or production on the ranch

The Living

The freshly renovated headquarters has a threebedroom, two-bath main house with stone patios in front and back. The headquarters are in Musgrave Canyon below Anna Springs, which heads up at the top of the Sierra Vieja Mountains.

The headquarters is sited to take advantage of the canyon effect where cool air drops down into the canyon and creates a naturally cool environment because the sun is slow to hit the canyon floor and quick to disappear in the afternoon.

A recently remodeled two-bunkroom/twobath lodge with wide wraparound porches and a huge great room with kitchen and stone fireplace serves as the ranch’s entertainment center. Additional improvements include a large walk-in cooler with a deer cleaning station, several barns and outbuildings and a foreman’s house all in excellent condition. Some personal property, furnishings, feeders and equipment will convey with the ranch.

Rancho Viejo is natural wonderland offering wildlife, live water, rich history and breath-taking mountain views with all the elbow room that makes Far West Texas famous. For those seeking recreation and respite, it is the perfect place to hang your hat. °

Land Specialist

Where do you live?

I was born and raised in Melvin, Texas in McCulloch County and still call Melvin home today.

Where do you work?

I serve clients throughout McCulloch, Concho, and the surrounding counties.

What drew you to ranch and recreational real estate?

My background in farming and ranching, combined with our family’s agricultural business, naturally drew me to ranch and recreational real estate. I’ve always had a deep appreciation for country living, as it provides a strong foundation for both children and adults. It’s a place where ‘real life’ unfolds every day, and I’m passionate about helping others experience that.

What makes the corner of the world where you work special?

McCulloch County is uniquely positioned where the Hill Country meets West Texas, offering a distinctive blend of landscapes. The county is known for its strong farming and ranching heritage, and from my perspective, it’s the heart of wildlife and hunting in the region. Its central location makes it easily accessible.

If you could call anywhere on the planet home, where would it be? Why?

There’s no place I’d rather call home than Melvin, Texas. It’s been my home for the last 36 years, and I wouldn’t trade it for anywhere else. With its smalltown charm and deep family roots, Melvin holds a special place in my heart.

Listener or talker?

I’d say I’m more of a talker, but I believe listening is the most important part of any conversation. Understanding others is key to meaningful communication.

If you had one extra hour per day, how would you use it?

If I had an extra hour each day, I’d spend it with my family, cooking and enjoying a delicious Jacoby-Brand Beef ribeye.

Would you rather be without Internet for a week or your phone?

I’d rather be without the internet for a week than my phone. My phone is essential for managing my business, and I make it a point to always stay responsive.

If you could give one sentence advice about how to live life, what would that be?

One piece of advice I’d give comes from my dad: ‘Scared money never made any.’

Describe your perfect workday.

My perfect workday would be walking out of the title office with satisfied clients. For me, a deal isn’t complete until everyone is happy and confident in the outcome.

What is your most memorable deal to date?

One of my most memorable deals was helping a family sell a ranch that had been in their family for generations. It was an incredibly insightful experience, as it highlighted the deep emotional connections that can be tied to real estate. This transaction reinforced for me the importance of relationships, empathy, and patience throughout the process. I’ve learned that real estate decisions should never be rushed—whether buying or selling—since those made under pressure are often the ones people come to regret.

CH Ranch

escape the hustle and bustle of the big city

422± Acres Gillespie County, Texas

Encompassing 422± acres just 15 minutes north of Fredericksburg in Gillespie County, CH Ranch offers the desirable, but rare combination of privacy and accessibility.

For anyone looking to escape the hustle and bustle of the big city for a weekend or a lifetime, the low-fenced ranch is less than one and a half hours from San Antonio and Austin. With about 853 feet of frontage on Highway 16 as well as a private easement, the coming and going is easy.

Large ranches adjoin the CH Ranch on three sides, creating an oasis of elbow room and privacy in one of the state’s most sought-after locations.

A gravel road leads from the private easement to the main improvements. Ranch roads provide access throughout the ranch for either a truck or ATV.

The Land, Water and Wildlife

The terrain gently undulates creating hidden nooks and crannies. It's not a property that shows all its secrets in a single glance. The ranch's elevation ranges from 1,300± feet at the lowest point to 1,755± feet at the highest point atop Solomon Mountain. Points throughout the ranch provides magnificent views as the Hill Country unfolds in eye-catching vistas.

Most of the cedar has been cleared from the front section, showcasing the heritage live oaks that dot the property and line the two seasonal creeks. In the creek bottoms, willows are also part of the mix. The back portion of the property retains the feel of untouched native habitat—a combination of cedar, mesquite and oaks—that provide food and shelter for wildlife. In their season, wildflowers blanket the strong soil in a vibrant, multi-hued quilt of color.

The ranch, which has not been hunted in 30 years, is home to white-tailed deer, turkey and feral hogs. Non-game species include ringtail cats, armadillos and rabbits. Coyotes sing to the moon.

A former coastal Bermuda hayfield provides a large clearing that could be reinvigorated as farm ground or repurposed as a wildlife food plot. A mesa, situated at the back of the property, delivers the chance to climb and enjoy a view that stretches all the way to Enchanted Rock. An old, stacked stone German fence decorates the mesa’s top and bridges the area’s vibrant past and the 21st century.

CH Ranch has two impoundments. The first lake, which sits at the convergence of two seasonal creeks, encompasses an estimated four to five acres during average rainfall years. The waterbody, with an expansive concrete dam, has been stocked with baitfish, so the first phase of building a productive fishery is complete.

The lake's perimeter is shaded by huge live oak trees. The dappled shade and cool water create a park-like oasis that beckons people to relax and reconnect, with nature—and each other.

The second smaller pond ranges between two and four acres during average rainfall years. In addition to the surface water, the ranch has four water wells.

The Living

CH Ranch features three distinct options for the best of Hill Country living. The three-bedroom/ two-bath Rock House, built in 1984 and completely remodeled in 2021, is constructed from native rock gathered on the ranch. The home, featuring about 1,700 square feet of comfortable, well-appointed living space, features a 43'x15' screened porch perfect for enjoying family and friends.

The detached 12'x12' laundry/storage room is also constructed from rock. During the recent remodel a raised 24'x12' deck was built over the top, creating a covered BBQ alcove underneath.

The Main House, a massive barndominium, is the ultimate expression of style and practicality. The three-bedroom/two-bath limestone-clad home, measuring about 3,000 square feet, is the focal point. With a spacious kitchen, living room and eye-catching limestone fireplace, the house is designed to make friends and family feel right at home.

The complete barn is 9,180± square feet (153'x60') of which 3,000± square feet is a residence enclosed in a concrete block building. The barn's height is the equivalent of about 30 feet. Featuring all steel construction with cinderblock walls, the barn boasts four bays, each of which could accommodate a tractor-trailer rig. The entry includes an 11'x60' covered porch with white wood railing.

The Hunter’s Cabin, rebuilt in the 1990s, sits about one-quarter mile from the main house. The two-bedroom/one-bath cabin with a kitchen and living room was constructed from granite collected on the ranch. A porch overlooking a seasonal creek, outfitted with a hot tub, is the perfect place to start or end the day.

Other infrastructure includes the Main House’s detached, cinder block garage (30'x29') expansive enough to accommodate two tractors, a sheet metal garage with two rock cisterns (6' tall x 9' diameter), a 10'x10' storage shed, and the original steel livestock barn.

The Opportunity

Accessibility. Privacy. Wildlife. Natural beauty. History. Unlimited potential.

CH Ranch offers everything that people look for in a Hill Country property but rarely, if ever, find. Don’t miss the chance to claim it for yourself.

To experience the diversity of the CH Ranch for yourself, contact Howard W. Hood, Broker at (830) 739-3815. Listed at $11,900,000.

BW Ranch

1,874.83± Acres in Bandera County, Texas

Presented By Hood Real Estate, Inc.

Located 12 miles from Bandera

8± acre spring-fed lake stocked with bass

Home to whitetails, turkey and other wildlife

Sitting on the headwaters of Myrtle Creek in a ruggedly beautiful box canyon in Bandera County, BW Ranch offers live water and some of the most magnificent views in the country.

The 1,874.83± acre ranch, which fronts FM 2828, is just 12 miles from Bandera, 17 miles from Kerrville (and its airport with two runways up to 6,000 feet), and 42 miles to San Antonio.

Land, Wildlife and Water

In Texas, it is rare for a ranch to include a stunning viewshed as a primary asset. The BW Ranch showcases 24 peaks, expansive valleys and views that stretch to Bandera, Kerrville and Medina.

The ever-changing landscape is enhanced by diverse vegetation. Cypress trees surround the main lake. Pecan trees shade the valley. Live oaks and Spanish oaks dot the native grasslands. A lone bull mesquite shades the pavilion. Cedar has been aggressively cleared and prescribed burns have been used to clear and reinvigorate the land. As a result, desirable native Hill Country browse provides a nutritious buffet for wildlife.

Whitetails that benefit from enhanced genetics, Rio Grande turkeys, dove and bobwhite quail are native to the ranch. A herd of bison, numbering upwards of 50, graze the flats and hillsides. Auodad sheep along with blackbuck antelope, axis, fallow and sika deer also call the ranch home. Other wild denizens include coyotes, bobcats, mountain lions and a host of other non-game species and songbirds.

Two Longhorns also roam the ranch. One’s horns measured 13.5 feet the last time a tape was put to them. Those numbers place him in worldrecord territory.

Year-round Myrtle Creek brings life-giving crystalline water to the property. It feeds nine dammed ponds, making water for wildlife easily accessible throughout the ranch.

An eight± acre spring-fed lake, stocked with largemouth bass enhanced by Florida bass genetics, blue cats, blue gills and sun perch is arguably the recreational focal point. Anglers have landed some bass that tipped the scales at more than 14 pounds. A boat house, with a bathroom, a fish cleaning station and a pontoon boat, ensures that family and friends can make the most of the clear, inviting water.

The ranch boasts a second spring-fed lake, which is smaller. It, too, is stocked with desirable fish for additional angling fun.

Living

The three-bedroom/two-bath ranch house reflects its setting. Native limestone defines the exterior and interior flourishes including the impressive fireplace. Built with an eye to simple, comfortable elegance, the bright airy home combines soaring ceilings, shiplap, warm wood accents, Saltillo tiles and oversized windows. In the sunroom, which overlooks a pond surrounded by a bounty of native vegetation, the line between outside and inside is seemingly invisible.

In addition, the home’s open floor plan includes a well-appointed kitchen, living room and trophy room. Its aesthetic and design invite gathering.

Building sites, with exceptional views, abound. The possibilities for creating a livable masterpiece built to the new owner’s taste and specifications are limitless.

A nearby open-air pavilion, reminiscent of old-time Hill Country dance halls, takes the party outside. The pavilion, which follows the architectural theme of the main house, includes a full kitchen and large fireplace.

The comfortable three-bedroom, two-bathroom caretaker’s quarters with a full kitchen and large porches, front and back, is situated nearby. Currently, it is used for employee housing, but could host overflow guests.

Infrastructure

More than 25 miles of improved roads stretch to the highest peaks and most far flung corners providing complete, easy access.

The main barn (approximately 40x60-foot), which is constructed from metal and insulated, features four horse stalls, an office with a shower, a tack room and a tool room. Twelve-foot-tall doors on both ends keep equipment access simple.

An equipment barn (approximately 20x45-foot) with a game cleaning station that includes winches, running water and a walk-in cooler rounds out the infrastructure.

The Opportunity

The Hill Country is known for its live water and breathtaking scenery, but it’s rare to find a ranch that has both with plenty of elbow room. The fact that BW Ranch is also conveniently located to small towns and San Antonio makes it one of one.

To experience the natural beauty of the BW Ranch for yourself, call Howard W. Hood, Broker with Hood Real Estate Inc. at 830-739-3815. The ranch is listed for $16,000 per acre. °

T&C Ranch

5,596.94± Acres in Edwards & Kinney Counties, Texas

By Hood Real Estate, Inc.

Presented

Located 1.5± hour from Brackettville

Nine water wells with stock ponds

Haven for wildlife and outdoors lovers

The 5,596.94± acre T&C Ranch, located in Edwards and Kinney counties, provides complete privacy in a ruggedly beautiful setting. Neighbored by large ranches and nestled between Rocksprings, Brackettville and Barksdale, the ranch is a secluded oasis.

The ranch’s terrain encompasses bottomlands, majestic bluffs and Indian Mountain, the area’s highest peak. Three observation decks, one outfitted for skeet shooting, are placed at prime locations. Most ranch roads are improved.

Cedar has been strategically removed.

Several oak varieties, elm, sycamore and other native tree species as well as native grasses, forbs and brush comprise the diverse vegetation.

The majority of the ranch is high-fenced, but a few select sections have been lowfenced to maintain Boone & Crockett Club eligibility. Native white-tailed deer and Rio Grande turkey as well as free-ranging exotics including elk, auodad, red stag, addax antelope and axis,

fallow, and sika deer are spotted regularly.

In recent years, T&C Ranch has been managed solely for wildlife. Approximately 24 box blinds are set up on the ranch.

Nine water wells (one solar and eight electric) and several stock ponds are scattered throughout. During wet years, Sycamore Creek and Little Sycamore Creek run.

Lodging, Living and Entertaining

With nine bedrooms and four baths, the lodge can accommodate large groups. Outside gathering spaces include covered porches, a rock patio with fire pit, a barbecue area and the thatch-roof African Palapa. Pole-mounted kerosene lanterns illuminate the night.

The rock lodge features a stone fireplace, custom mesquite furniture, a fully equipped commercial kitchen as well as a media room, office, utility room and walk-in cooler.

The 8,500± square-foot saloon’s focal point is an antique-style bar reminiscent of the Old West. In addition, the saloon boasts 16 custom wooden lockers, a bandstand, custom mesquite furniture, commercial kitchen,

numerous game tables well as a merchandise room. The nearby trophy room, with a wine grotto, accommodates life-size game mounts.

For overflow lodging, T&C Ranch provides three cabins and an RV park complete with five full hook-ups. The four-bedroom/fourbath main house with a sleeping loft boasts multilevel decks, including a hot tub deck.

Ranch Infrastructure

The primary ranch entrance provides access via a private easement road. The second entrance fronts on Cedar Creek Road, a county road.

The T&C Ranch has a 4,000’ x 75’ paved runway, a grass landing strip and a lighted, concrete helipad.

Other ranch infrastructure includes a covered game processing area with walk-in coolers, two mobile homes, an equipment barn, a workshop, an overhead grain storage bin, two grain buggies, two overhead fuel tanks, a set of livestock working pens, a 2± acre chain-link dog kennel, three gun safes and three large ice makers. °

Located just over an hour from Marfa

Home to pronghorn, mule deer and other wildlife

Horse Canyon Ranch

27,740± Acres in Culberson County, Texas

Presented By Hood Real Estate, Inc.

Within its 27,740± acres, the Horse Canyon Ranch in Culberson County showcases the diverse, rugged beauty of far West Texas. Historically, used as a working ranch, the low-fenced property is a recreational paradise that can be accessed from both I-10 and Highway 90. The Lobo-Garren Ranch Road, a well-maintained county road, transects the property linking both major thoroughfares and good dirt ranch roads crisscross the ranch.

While the Horse Canyon Ranch has plenty of the wide-open spaces that define the region, it is only 20 minutes from Van Horn, the county seat, and just over an hour to Marfa, one of Texas’ most beloved destinations. The ranch is nestled between the Jeff Davis Mountains and the Wiley Mountains. With its expansive views and desert climate, it is reminiscent of Arizona. Because the landscape includes

both desert rangelands and craggy, but accessible mountains, the ranch is home to pronghorn antelope, blue quail and some Gambel’s quail as well as mule deer, aoudad sheep, free-ranging elk and the occasional mountain lion or black bear.

For the past couple of years, the ranch has implemented a protein feeding program using approximately 22 feeders scattered across the property. Working with the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, the ranch team participates in aerial wildlife surveys.

Historically, used as a working ranch, the property has been rested from cattle grazing for the past few years. Horse Canyon Ranch is a recreational paradise with agricultural infrastructure including three sets of working pens. The ranch is divided into nine main pastures and three traps. The cattle operation could be easily reinstated as an additional income stream and range management tool. In good years, the carrying capacity is 300 to 350 head of mother cows.

In arid areas, water is crucial. The ranch has five working wells, with a mixture of electric submersible and solar pumps, and two non-functional wells. Water distribution to meet the needs of wildlife and livestock has been an on-going effort. The ranch is home to an extensive network of piping, water troughs, storage tanks and wildlife guzzlers.

The main headquarters includes a threebedroom/two-bathroom ranch house with a full kitchen, living room and central heat and air, a barn, a storage barn and a tack room as well as one of the three sets of working pens. Horse Canyon Ranch offers a lifestyle as big as the West Texas sky. Here you can get away from it all and rediscover the peace that comes from elbow room and the grandeur of nature.

Twin Creeks Ranch

Hunting has been private and limited

858± Acres in Kerr County, Texas Presented By Hood Real Estate, Inc.

Located 11 miles from the town of Kerrville

Year-round Fall Creek runs across the ranch

Twin Creeks Ranch, 858± acres located approximately 11 miles from Kerrville in Kerr County, is an opportunity to stake a claim on a large-scale, live water property in the heart of the Texas Hill Country. The ranch fronts on Eagle Ridge Road.

The Land and the Wildlife

The land is iconic gently rolling Hill Country terrain with a 300-foot elevation change from the highest point on the southeast corner to the lowest point on the northern boundary. Bottomlands, with deeper soils, encompass about 150 acres of the ranch, providing strong pastureland.

The landscape is pockmarked with small canyons. Between 50 and 75 acres of cedar have been strategically cleared along the ridgelines. Disturbed areas have been reseeded with native grasses to further enhance the habitat.

The overstory features mature post oaks and live oaks, while the understory is comprised of a mix of native brush, browse and forbs that serve as a buffet for wildlife.

White-tailed deer and a small number of feral hogs call the ranch home. Both mourning doves and waterfowl pass through in their migratory seasons. Hunting has been private and limited.

The perimeter is high fenced. Improved roads make the entire ranch fully accessible.

The Water

In Texas, live water is a rare, highly sought after treasure. Twin Creeks, as the name implies, enjoys a bounty.

Stretching from the southern boundary to the northern boundary, year-round Fall Creek runs across the ranch for approximately one mile, providing crystalline water for wildlife and recreation.

Wolf Creek, which meanders onto the ranch and converges with Fall Creek, just enhances the land’s natural ambiance and its options.

A 5± acre lake in close proximity to the main house is stocked with bass and outfitted with floating docks. It is the perfect place for angling, paddling or even jet skiing.

The ranch also has two water wells.

The Living

The two-story, 3,700-square-foot main house, displaying a statement-making mixture of limestone, stucco and cedar posting, is the perfect backdrop for Hill Country living. The four-bedroom/4.5-bath house blends design touches from Texas, Mexico and the southwestern U.S. making it perfectly suited to its locale.

The well-appointed interior is a study in rustic elegance with solid wood cabinetry and beams, a mix of stone and wood floors, an oversized limestone fireplace, soaring ceilings and plenty of windows to bring the light inside. The kitchen is anchored by a butcher block island and its own fireplace.

It’s easy to take any gathering outdoors. Guests can congregate on either the front or back porch to enjoy the long views or they can make their way to the back patio. The creek, which runs right behind the main house, provides the soundtrack for life. In addition, there is a covered sitting area as well as a barbecue area where guests can relax and watch the pitmaster’s magic, along with a fire pit.

The main house has a detached two-car garage with two apartments above. The apartments can be individually accessed and used for staff or overflow guests.

In addition, the property features a twobedroom/two-bath house built in the same style as the main house. Encompassing 1,800± square feet, the house, which includes a kitchen, a living area and a sunroom, could be purposed as guest or staff housing. It also has a porch on the front and carport in the back.

Twin Creeks Ranch is also outfitted with a four-stall limestone and wood horse barn that measures about 4,600 square feet. The barn includes a veterinary room/lab, an office, a tack room and two storage rooms. The barn also has a game-processing area out back with running water and a winch system.

The Opportunity

With elbow room, long views, plentiful wildlife and live water, Twin Creeks Ranch puts the best of the Hill Country within one fence. Stake a claim on an extraordinary life. °

ICON GLOBAL EMBRACES

SPECIAL EVENT MARKETING TO REACH PREMIER AUDIENCES

STORY BY LORIE A. WOODWARD

n its ongoing quest to introduce its one-of-a-kind listings and unique services to highly qualified buyers and sellers, Icon Global has embraced a far-reaching event marketing strategy.

Icon Global presents a series of unique events focusing on the western lifestyle and global equestrian sports such as polo, polocrosse, show jumping, horse racing, cutting and reining. Additionally, Icon Global Owner Bernard “Bernie” Uechtritz speaks at corporate and business events, fireside chats and on panels. The firm hosts pre-qualified, invitation-only ranch open house weekends. Icon additionally partners with corporations, charities and media outlets on special, high-visibility occasions such as fundraising galas or awards ceremonies.

“Because we can advertise within the context of the event while expanding our network of potential clients and introduce them to our ranch portfolio and special assets, event marketing is an exceptionally successful strategy for us,” Uechtritz said. “We are known for proactively and creatively taking properties to the market.”

Hosting one or two events per quarter, the Icon Global team, which also includes Uechtritz’s daughter, Kelsi, who serves as the company’s multistate broker of record, maintains a full calendar.

OUTS IDE TH E BOX

As one example, Uechtritz, who also owns property in Europe, is a long-time polo player and his daughter, Olivia, is a professional polo player who serves as Icon Global’s polo ambassador. The sport regularly takes the family and the brand to France, England, South Africa, the Middle East and Australia.

“It’s just a natural fit,” said Uechtritz, noting that Icon Global recently launched its European offices in London and Paris. “Against the backdrop of shared equestrian passions, we get to introduce an international audience to the legend and lore of ranches along with our other special asset opportunities.”

Uechtritz’s equestrian experience is not limited to the polo field. He is equally at home on the Thoroughbred horse farms of Kentucky or astride a cutting horse. In 2024, Icon Global partnered with the National Cutting Horse Association to present NCHA’s first-ever Celebrity Cutting. The star-studded event, held at the Will Rogers Coliseum in Fort Worth, benefited the UT Southwestern Medical Center Fort Worth.

“As part of our sponsorship, we fired up Icon Global’ s marketing machine to serve up the company’s 2025 line-up of on- and off-market legacy assets to the VIP guests,” Uechtritz said.

Nicole Sheridan, renowned equestrian and wife of actor-producer Taylor Sheridan, co-chaired the gala event with Fort Worth philanthropist and civic visionary Kit Moncrief. The guest and competitor’s lists were A-list and included actress Nicole Kidman

HE ALWAYS DOES A TERRIFIC JOB. HE’S COMFORTABLE AT THE PODIUM AND ISN’T AFRAID TO GO OFF SCRIPT AND SPEAK FROM THE HEART. HE’S PASSIONATE ABOUT HIS WORK, TEXAS, AND BUSINESS IN GENERAL, AND HIS AUTHENTICITY COMES THROUGH.

Perez, Editor of D CEO

and her husband country music star Keith Urban, super model Bella Hadid as well numerous stars from the casts of “Yellowstone,” “Land Man,” “1923” and “Lioness. “

In the run-up to the anticipated event NCHA Executive Director Jay Winborn, who tapped Icon Global as the presenting sponsor, said, “Icon is a top-shelf company that is renowned for its innovative global marketing reach and who has incredible record of success. They are the perfect partner for NCHA to help energize the focus on our new event.”

The pairing was a huge success. Icon Global has signed on as the presenting sponsor for the second semi-annual event slated for March 2026.

Uechtritz, known for his adventurous life that began with his childhood spent in Papua, New Guinea, found another natural fit as an event emcee. Early in his young adulthood, Uechtritz served as an announcer at horse racing and polo-lacrosse events and was an auctioneer. Once he moved to America, he honed his skills further by hosting and emceeing black tie events such as the Australian American Chamber of Commerce galas in Houston and Los Angeles as well as the Australian Trade Commission’s signature event G’Day USA.

From the beginning, audiences responded positively to his energy, and even the Aussie whip cracking he brought to the dais. Regardless of their backgrounds, audience members engaged with his presentations of opportunity and adventures in New Guinea, Australia and America which ranged from jockeying racehorses and playing polo to riding bulls and saddle broncs as well as racing motorcycles and stock cars and recovering World War II relics in the South Pacific.

Today, those tales of adventure are interwoven with anecdotes from his career in “complicated real estate” that began when he sold the infamous family estate of Erik and Lyle Menendez in Calabasas, California, in 1994. As the years past, his track record lengthened to include record sales of iconic ranches such as the 535,000-acre W.T. Waggoner listed at $725 million, the $100 million Tomas Ranch on behalf of ExxonMobil and the $240 million Sandow Lakes mine site on behalf of the Alcoa Corporation.

“I’m storyteller who has been blessed with a career and life passions that have given me a lot of stories to tell,” Uechtritz said. “It’s fun to hold the attention of a room, to entertain and engage the audience, but most importantly, this lets me tie all that into the cause and focus of the event or fundraiser.”

D CEO, a business magazine based in Dallas, has joined forces with Uechtritz and Icon Global for several of the publication’s premier events. Uechtritz has served as the emcee or a featured speaker at the D CEO Energy Awards and Commercial Real Estate Awards as well as a special gathering of the financial powerhouses that oversee family offices. In late March, Uechtritz was back at the podium as Icon Global sponsored the magazine’s 2025 Commercial Real Estate Awards.

“D CEO is read by C-Suiters in Dallas-Fort Worth— high net worth individuals,” said Christine Perez, editor of D CEO. “Most of Bernie’s clients are CEOs or own large private companies. They’re also ranch owners or otherwise invest in real estate. So, our readers are his people.”

Noting that Uechtritz is a veteran of D CEO events including the magazine’s Energy and Commercial Real Estate Awards, she continued, “He always does a terrific job. He’s comfortable at the podium and isn’t afraid to go off script and speak from the heart. He’s passionate about his work, Texas, and business in general, and his authenticity comes through.”

The events are not one-size-fits-all. Each is evaluated carefully before Icon Global signs on as a sponsor or brand partner.

“I consider each event individually,” Uechtritz said. “It must be a good fit and cause for our brand and theirs. We must be able to leverage the oppotuniity for everyone’s success before, during and after the event, which also has to be an authentic and legitimate cause. It has to offer a good return on the investment of time and money for everyone involved.”

“I built this company and its reputation by being able to think and operate creatively outside the traditional box,” Uechtritz said. “Special event marketing is a one of many initiatives in identifying and seizing opportunities to create success for our clients.” °

Ranching Renewables

STORY BY LORIE A. WOODWARD

Renewable energy is changing the landscape of Texas.

“Renewable energy is on a lot of landowners’ minds,” said Andrew Earl, Director of Conservation for TWA. “It is a rapidly emerging industry that is affecting land use, influencing land values and impacting society and culture.”

According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, Texas produces about 16 percent of the nation’s total electricity generation. In 2023, on the state-level, renewable sources provided almost 30 percent of total state electricity net generation. Texas is the nation’s largest producer of wind energy and second largest producer of solar energy.

Renewable energy leaves a footprint. For instance, the Roscoe Wind Complex sprawls across four counties and encompasses almost 100,000 acres, making it one of the largest wind farms in the world. The Horse Hollow Wind Energy Center near Wingate impacts another 47,000 acres.

When it comes to solar energy, Texas is expected to add a total of 100 GW of new solar capacity over the next decade, according to a blog published by the Texas Real Estate Research Center on October 10, 2024. It is estimated that one GW of solar power requires a solar array covering 5,000 to 7,000 acres, so to reach 100 GW would require 500,000 to 700,000 additional acres.

Demand for energy will continue to soar as long as Texas’ population continues its meteoric rise.

“Because there is minimal regulatory oversight and no predictability in leasing, neighbors and community members often end up arguing about these things in town halls and county courthouses and creating conflict across fence lines—it’s changing rural Texas,” Earl said.

The Texas Legislature is currently considering legislation, supported by TWA, that would create a regulatory framework for the fledgling industry. The legislation proposes administrative rules, imposes fees and requires the Texas Public Utility Commission to approve wind and solar projects before they can break ground.

“As an organization, TWA fully supports landowners’ rights to manage and use their property as they see fit, but we also support creating a framework that minimizes the impact that renewable energy development has on the environment and on neighboring landowners,” Earl said. “It’s all about balance.”

And education.

“In the face of a rapidly growing, changing industry, a landowner’s best tools are education and solid information,” Earl said.

To that end, the organization has dedicated its annual day-long Private Lands Summit 2025, scheduled for July 10 in San Antonio, to the topic. “Ranching Renewables: Landowner Perspectives on Renewable Energy Development” will begin with an overview of Texas’ energy needs and the role renewables will play to meet them and then will follow the cycle of a renewable energy lease. Experts

will cover a variety of topics ranging from initial negotiations and site assessment to the decades-long operational phase and finally decommissioning and reclamation.

Decommissioning and reclamation are particularly hot topics because Texas is just beginning to see the first wave of wind turbine retirement. Until the last five years or so, there were no bonding requirements or rules to hold companies responsible for disposing of the energy generation equipment and helping landowners restore their land. The laws that were put into place were not retroactive, so landowners and their attorneys are grappling with that reality now.

“Chris Nichols, Senior Counsel with Brady & Hamilton, will discuss the current case law that is playing out in courtrooms across Texas,” Earl said. “The future of the industry and the landscape is being hammered out now.”

Another topic that is not on the agenda yet, but likely will be, is green hydrogen. Green hydrogen is the process of splitting water molecules and capturing pure hydrogen molecules to be used as a fuel source. Several green hydrogen projects are being proposed for Texas.

The projects are raising concerns because they are water intensive, and most are proposed for water-stressed areas. Plus, they require a large amount of green energy infrastructure that is off-the-grid, and the hydrogen will have to be pipelined to ports where it will be shipped to supply overseas markets. Currently, no domestic end-users will benefit.

“Again, we’re want our members and attendees to be ahead on the learning curve,” Earl said.

The Private Lands Summit is the “meaty” kick-off to WildLife 2025, the 40 th Annual TWA Convention, slated for July 10-12 at the J.W. Hyatt Hill Country Resort and Spa. The $150 ticket includes the program, lunch and a post-event reception sponsored by the East Foundation that celebrates its 3MT Competition that ends the day. During the 3MT Competition, graduate students are challenged to present their research in three minutes using language that speaks to landowners.

“The Private Lands Summit has earned the reputation as the ‘meat and potatoes’ of the TWA Convention because every year the topic is something that is timely, substantive and lasting,” Earl said. “By design it gives landowners information from a wide variety of sources that they can take home and apply to their land.” °

ALDO LEOPOLD

A Q&A with DR. STANLEY

TEMPLE

STORY BY LORIE A. WOODWARD

Known as the father of wildlife management, Aldo Leopold was a visionary conservationist and an accomplished writer whose ground-breaking ideas changed conservation in America—and continue to shape the landscape today. “A Sand County Almanac,” published in 1949 and widely considered Leopold’s masterwork, has sold more than 2 million copies world-wide and has been translated into 15 languages.

I sat down with Dr. Stanley “Stan” Temple, Beers-Bascom Professor in Conservation (emeritus) in the Department of Forest and Wildlife Ecology at the University of Wisconsin-Madison to discuss Leopold’s long-lasting influence.

In addition to being a globally recognized expert on birds and conservation ecology, Temple is also an expert on the life and work of Aldo Leopold. Not only is Temple the third individual to occupy the faculty position first held by Leopold, which was the first university position in the world dedicated to wildlife management, but he is also a director of the Sand County Foundation. The foundation, based in Madison, Wisconsin, is a non-profit organization dedicated to inspiring a land ethic and superlative land stewardship in private landowners across America.

As Temple said, “It is pretty amazing, isn’t it, that 75 years later Leopold’s ideas about our relationship with land have not grown old and seem to be as timely and stimulating as ever.”

Aldo Leopold and the Sand County Foundation

As you consider Aldo Leopold’s life, what were some of the formative forces during his early years that set him on his journey of discovery and influence?

ST: He was born in 1887 and grew up while the modern conservation movement was a fledgling endeavor. Aldo was raised in a family that was part of this movement. His father Carl Leopold was an avid outdoorsman who encouraged his young son to embrace nature. As a hunter, Carl was a great proponent of fair chase and ethical hunting, so as a boy Aldo was encouraged to have an ethical relationship with wildlife through hunting, which meant there was a right and wrong way to do it.

His father was also keenly aware of the conservation issues of the time, so Aldo would have been exposed to discussions about the tragic extinction of the Passenger Pigeon, the near extinction of American bison, and the decimation of wildlife populations caused by unregulated market hunting.

Early on Aldo knew he wanted to pursue a career in conservation. At the time, there was only one college degree in the field, so he studied forestry at Yale University. Upon graduation, he was immediately hired into the brand-new U.S. Forest Service and at 22-yearsold was sent to New Mexico and Arizona, where he was responsible for surveying and managing millions of acres of wildlands.

Eventually, he grew to be at odds with his boss Gifford Pinchot on how to manage the land. Unlike Pinchot who maintained that National Forests should be managed primarily for the sustainable extraction of natural resources, Aldo advocated management practices that prioritized forest health, arguing that only if the forests were healthy could uses, like logging and grazing, be sustainable. It was the first time anyone had ever articulated what we today call ecosystem management. Interestingly, he espoused this in the early 1920s, but it wasn’t until the 1990s that the U.S. Forest Service adopted ecosystem management as the guiding principle for managing the National Forests.

2

Arguably, he is best known for writing the conservation classic, “A Sand County Almanac.” Why is this book considered his masterwork?

ST: By the time, he wrote “A Sand County Almanac,” Aldo had come to understand that

conservation could only succeed by enlisting private landowners working on their own land. Through various experiences, he had learned that regulations weren’t the most effective way to get people to do the right thing on their land nor were incentives, so his challenge was figuring out what might inspire conservation. He concluded it boiled down to ethics and people developing a moral compass about what is right and what is wrong in our relationship with the land.

In the 1930s and 40s, he penned a series of essays that trace the evolution of his thoughts about our relationship to the land that culminated in “A Sand County Almanac.” He was a gifted writer who had a talent for explaining complicated ideas using language that common people would understand. For instance, describing an abused landscape, he called it “sick land,” which helped people understand the need to nurse it back to health just as they would heal their sick bodies.

In “A Sand County Almanac,” which also recounts his experiences bringing his own farm back to ecological health, Aldo describes the land ethic, doing the right thing for the land because it’s the right thing to do, not because you are forced to by regulations or coerced by economic incentives and subsidies. He was the first to clearly articulate that idea—and this

He challenged people to examine each question in terms of what is ethically and aesthetically right as well as what is economically feasible or expedient.

notion fundamentally changed the way many private landowners viewed their land.

Outside of the land ethic, what are some of Aldo Leopold’s other contributions that changed American conservation?

ST: Each contribution is a story in itself. As a young forester, not only did he push for ecosystem management, but Aldo also recognized that some of areas within the National Forests were so pristine that they should be protected. In 1924, he almost single-handedly argued for the creation of the Gila Wilderness, the first designated wilderness area on public land. This pre-dated Congress’ Wilderness Act by 50 years.

As a researcher exploring declining wildlife populations in the Midwest, Aldo went against the conventional thinking that more legal protection would mean more wildlife. Instead, he observed that wildlife populations declined because their habitat had been destroyed and argued that the key to increasing wildlife populations was increasing and improving habitat. It was the basis of wildlife management.

Those insights were the inspiration for “Game Management,” the first-ever wildlife management textbook, in which he advocated taking a sciencebased, hands-on approach to improving wildlife populations by improving habitat. Then, thanks to

an unprecedented job offer from the University of Wisconsin, in 1933, he became the founder and first professor of the first wildlife management degree program in the world.

As another example, working on 1,000 acres of retired farmland owned by the university and his own small farm on the Wisconsin River, Aldo pioneered what we now call ecological restoration.

When he died of a heart attack at age 61, Aldo was arguably at the height of his intellectual powers and productivity. It makes one wonder what else he might have accomplished if he had lived longer.

What is the quote that you believe best reflects his philosophy of land management?

ST: When most people quote Aldo Leopold, it is often a line from “A Sand County Almanac” that is his very simple expression of the land ethic. He wrote, “A thing is right when it tends to preserve the integrity, stability and beauty of the biotic community. It is wrong when it tends otherwise.”

It’s a maxim that can be used to test all human interactions with nature. Will the action conserve the health of the land or not? He challenged people to examine each question in terms of what is ethically and aesthetically

Texas Land Markets

REPORT BY CHARLES E. GILLILAND, PH.D.

Research Economist, Texas Real Estate Research Center at Texas A&M University

The decline in sales volume may be approaching a trough, with preliminary 2025 sales dropping only 17 percent from 2024 totals to 3,011 sales. Final reports should reduce that percentage as more data reaches the Real Estate Research Center. That volume amounts to about 36 percent of the 8,350 sales reported in 2021 but trails 2024 by only 410 sales. The preliminary acreage increased 1.80 percent to 277,222 acres. Total dollar volume inched up 4.16 percent from $1.28 billion to $1.33 billion. Price continued to increased 2 percent to $4,810 per acre. The increases in both acreage and total dollar volume suggest that the modest increase in prices has encouraged buyers to purchase more land.

Total Dollar Volume

Panhandle and South Plains

Prices in this region increased 4.9 percent to $1,848 per acre with the number of acres dropping nearly 10,000 acres to a total of 43,742 acres. However, the number of sales dropped 33.9 percent to 276 sales. Total dollar volume also slipped in this region, falling 15.0 percent to $80.8 million. The slow volume and dropping total dollar volume suggests that demand remains weak.

Far West Texas

The meagre volume of sales, 12 over four quarters, yields little evidence of market trends in West Texas.

West Texas

Buyers in this region drove prices higher while sales volume and total acres sold dropped. Transactions posted a strong price increase, up 13.3 percent to $2,672 per acre. The price climb accompanied a pronounced slip in volume to 423 sales, down 11.7 percent from 479 in the first quarter of 2024. The strong price impelled total dollar volume to $173.9 million, up 4.32 percent. These developments suggest that sales may have occurred disproportionately in better quality land.

Northeast Texas

The 34.6 percent collapse in volume of sales yielded 690 transactions reported in the four quarters ending in 2025 Q1. Reporting problems may have contributed to this remarkable drop in activity. However, prices actually fell from 2024 quarter four through 2025 quarter 1 to $8,391, a 1.35 percent drop from 2024 first quarter. A total of 22,539 acres sold, a decline of 30.0 percent. The drop in reported sales pushed total dollar volume down 28.9 percent to $189.1 million.

South Texas

Buyers in this region shifted from high priced areas to more remote properties at lower prices. The shift induced a regional price drop of 6.71 percent to $5,842 per acre. At 272 sales in preliminary volume reports, activity across the region will likely remain steady when final reports are made. Total acreage ebbed 6.36 percent to 21,085 acres. The price drop and volume decline drove total dollar volume down 12.69 percent to $123.2 million.

Austin-Waco-Hill Country

Prices remained steady, climbing 0.64 percent to $7,242 per acre. However, sales volume dropped 5.66 percent to 884 transactions. Total dollar volume slid by 14.48 percent to $297.2 million as total acres sank 14.04 percent to 41,039 acres.

The Future

Dry conditions ranging from moderate to exceptional drought plague much of Texas west of Interstate 35. Reservoirs in that area remain at very low levels going into a growing season. Water shortages may limit production if it does not rain. These drought conditions continue to aggravate disputes over water deliveries with both New Mexico and Mexico. Historically, drought has not significantly impacted land prices when rains finally ease the distress. Nevertheless, drought-stressed property lacks market appeal.

In general, markets appear to be probing for price levels that will induce buyers to leave the sidelines and pull the trigger. Markets will likely see price increases slide during 2025 until the volume of activity begins to increase. °
