Texas LAND Summer 2017

The 17,132-acre Rancho Agua Grande,
located 25 miles northwest of Uvalde where
South Texas, West Texas and the Hill Country
meet, is one of largest live water ranches for
sale in Texas. Year-round Live Oak Creek,
fed by more than 30 springs, bisects the
ranch from north to south for about seven
miles. The line between Uvalde and Kinney
counties is on a similar north-south axis.
The shady pecan bottom along the creek
stands in contrast to the rugged hills
and deep canyons that characterize the
transitional landscape. The ranch is home to
Boiling Mountain, the highest peak in Uvalde
County, and Salmon Peak, the highest point
in Kinney County. Because three ecoregions
converge on the Rancho Agua Grande, the
vegetation is diverse–ranging from pinon
pines to live oaks and mesquites, huisache,
guajillo and black brush. It’s a feast for
human eyes and a natural buffet for wildlife.
Live Oak Creek is a calling card for the
ranch’s native and exotic wildlife. They
gather to drink and loaf under the trees
making it easy to view some of the more
than 40 species of game from around the
globe that roam the property. It’s possible
to see kangaroos, camels, zebras, gemsbok,
sable, water buffalo, white bison, Iranian
red sheep, scimitar-horned oryx and
water bucks, just to name a few, in a single
afternoon. Whitetails, turkey, dove and a
limited population of quail are native to the
ranch.
More than 50 miles of high-fence encircle
the perimeter, keeping the desirable
managed wildlife inside and the freeranging
game out. With the rich, abundant
diversity of wildlife, it’s no wonder that
Rancho Agua Grande is considered one of
the nation’s premier hunting destinations.
To see the unique splendor and unlimited
potential of the Rancho Agua Grande for
yourself, contact Howard W. Hood at

for $100 million.
