Caiman Ranch<br />
1,000–2,002± ACRES | LA SALLE COUNTY | PROPERTY ID: 1433103<br />
Originally part of the 250,000-acre Callaghan Ranch, the Caiman Ranch<br />
was in the same family from 1947–2008. About 140 miles south of San<br />
Antonio, 55 miles northeast of Laredo and 20 miles east of Encinal, this<br />
property is long known as the “Promised Land” for bruiser, whitetail<br />
bucks. Caiman Ranch carries the reputation as one of the best whitetail<br />
deer ranches in <strong>Texas</strong>. Deer taken from the ranch have consistently<br />
won local contests, including Los Cazadores, the Muy Grande and the<br />
Cola Blanca. This sportsman’s paradise also features an abundance<br />
of turkey, wild hogs, quail and dove. The ranch is fenced and crossfenced<br />
into four pastures and features eight-foot net wire game-proof<br />
fencing along the eastern boundary and barbed wire fencing along<br />
the remaining boundaries. All of the major South <strong>Texas</strong> brush species<br />
are represented in abundance, including guajillo, guayacan, granjeno,<br />
blackbrush, mesquite trees and huisache trees, which provide food<br />
for wildlife, in addition to the excellent brush. Improvements include<br />
a 4,200-square-foot, Spanish-style hacienda with six bedrooms, five<br />
baths, concrete slab, stucco exterior, Saltillo tile floors, mostly nine-foot<br />
ceilings, deep porches and a large walled courtyard with a traditional<br />
outdoor fountain. Other buildings include a 1,700-square-foot foreman’s<br />
house with three bedrooms and two baths, a 2,665-square-foot barn, a<br />
1,640-square-foot shed and a 600-square-foot workshop. The Caiman<br />
Ranch also features plentiful water and excellent level to gently rolling<br />
topography. Ranging in elevation from 393 feet at the main entrance to<br />
about 322-feet in the Los Olmos Creekbed, the ranch features soils with<br />
clay or loam surface layers, which are the key to the excellent, diverse<br />
vegetation. A 4,280-foot-deep well out of the Carrizo Aquifer supplies<br />
water to the headquarters, one of two stock tanks on the ranch and<br />
various water troughs. Wet-weather Olmos Creek flows through the<br />
western section of the ranch, and holds pockets of water for extended<br />
periods of time. This is the perfect opportunity for an outdoorsman<br />
who desires to own one of the best whitetail deer herds in the state.<br />
No production and no drilling activity on the ranch. Contact for<br />
