A GIANT<br />

Opportunity<br />

THERE’S NOTHING LIKE IT IN THE WORLD. A PIECE<br />

OF LAND SO BIG, SO STORIED AND SO STEEPED IN<br />

FAMILY LEGACY THAT NO TITLE REPORT OR EVEN<br />

COMPLETE SURVEY EXISTED UNTIL THIS YEAR.<br />

here’s nothing like it in<br />

the world. A piece of land<br />

so big, so storied and so<br />

steeped in family legacy<br />

that no title report or<br />

even a complete survey<br />

existed until this year.<br />

The iconic W.T.<br />

Waggoner Ranch,<br />

America’s largest parcel<br />

of land “under one<br />

fence,” consists of more than 510,000<br />

contiguous acres encompassing an<br />

empire of oil fields, open ranges, fertile<br />

farming and endless miles of grazing<br />

land—all spread across six counties of<br />

Northwest Texas prairie and sweeping<br />

rangeland. Add to that thousands<br />

of cattle, enormous lakes, hundreds<br />

of foundation bred, award-winning<br />

American Quarter Horses and a legend<br />

as big as the ground it covers, and you’ll<br />

know why the W.T. Waggoner Ranch is<br />

considered one of the last remaining<br />

hallmarks of Texas cowboy culture.<br />

Now available for sale on the<br />

international open market, the W.T.<br />

Waggoner Ranch represents a singular<br />

opportunity so rare, we will never see<br />

the availability of such a property again<br />

in our lifetime. In fact, the last time this<br />

property was available for ownership,<br />

Abraham Lincoln was in Congress,<br />

California was petitioning to join the<br />

U.S. as a free state and Oklahoma was<br />

known simply as Indian territory.<br />

Headquartered in Vernon, Texas,<br />

the ranch covers 800 square miles<br />

of hills, vistas and plains, stretching<br />

through counties once roamed by the<br />

Comanches—Archer, Baylor, Knox,<br />

Wichita, Foard and Wilbarger.<br />

Since founder W.T. Waggoner<br />

first laid claim in 1849, the ranch has<br />

had a long and illustrious history as<br />

a cattle ranch with a reputation for<br />

both tradition and innovation. Today,<br />

the property is equally known as<br />

one of America’s best Quarter Horse<br />

operations featuring state-of-theart<br />

training and breeding facilities.<br />

The Waggoner Quarter Horses have<br />

been awarded countless honors and<br />

designations from the American Quarter<br />
