Farming<br />
Pinto Creek Ranch is home to a 100-acre coastal hay field and<br />
a 100-acre commercial pecan grove. With brush clearing, the<br />
farming operation could be expanded to up to 800 acres.<br />
The farming operation is irrigated using artesian well water.<br />
Because the water flows to the surface without a pump, there<br />
is no electricity cost. As any irrigated farmer can confirm,<br />
electricity is the highest input. The ability to irrigate for free is a<br />
huge competitive advantage and bottom line booster.<br />
For those who don’t want to manage an agriculture operation,<br />
the access to irrigation makes it possible to lease out the<br />
agricultural operation, creating another income stream without<br />
the responsibilities of management.<br />
Wildlife<br />
For the past six years, the high-fenced ranch has been managed<br />
intensively for white-tailed deer. The program has been built on<br />
superior, imported genetics. During this past season, a hunter<br />
harvested a buck that scored 221 B&C. In addition to whitetails,<br />
the ranch is home to blackbuck antelope and axis deer, both<br />
exotics, meaning hunting opportunities exist year-round.<br />
All feeders and blinds transfer with the sale. The ranch also has<br />
a 20’x40’ walk-in cooler and a commercial-quality meat room.<br />
With its superior wildlife, top-notch equipment, and ample<br />
lodging, the ranch could easily become a commercial hunting<br />
operation, creating another income stream.<br />
The Rest<br />
While Pinto Creek Ranch offers a unique investment potential,<br />
it doesn’t skimp on amenities that make family and friends<br />
want to gather around a fire pit and make memories. The main<br />
house, with its soaring ceilings and open floor plan, encourages<br />
people to mix and mingle. A three-bedroom bunkhouse<br />
provides plenty of room for guests or hunting clients.<br />
There is also a foreman’s house allowing someone to always be<br />
on-site. The barns, which are insulated and built on concrete<br />
slabs, were originally used by the San Antonio Livestock Show<br />
and Exposition to house livestock behind the Joe and Harry<br />
Freeman Coliseum.<br />
