as evidenced by the numerous undisturbed Indian mounds<br />
and middens located in close proximity to the creek. Lumbering<br />
dinosaurs pressed tracks into once soft mud that hardened<br />
protecting the imprint from the ravages of time. The limestone<br />
hills are pocked by caves including some that cut deeply<br />
beneath the earth and invite exploration.<br />
After a long day of adventures, the 6,000± square-foot lodge<br />
with its antique bar, dance floor and bandstand is the perfect<br />
place to relax. With a capacity of 250 people, the lodge is also<br />
an ideal site for events such weddings, meetings or reunions.<br />
An additional 2,300± square-foot of covered porches<br />
accommodate an even larger party.<br />
The lodge’s expansive main room is bookended by massive<br />
fireplaces that stretch from the floor to the vaulted log ceiling<br />
that soars 34 feet above. A game loft features a pool table,<br />
darts, poker and “Big Buck Hunter,” a popular arcade game.<br />
Guests will enjoy their stays in one of the eight antique<br />
cabins dating to the mid-19th century. These cabins<br />
were transplanted from the mountains of Kentucky<br />
where pioneering families called them home. The cabins<br />
have been restored and updated so they meet the most<br />
discriminating standards for modern convenience and<br />
rustic elegance. Most include a jacuzzi tub, a kitchenette<br />
and a spacious living room and can sleep three to six<br />
guests depending on the cabin’s size and arrangement.<br />
Other residences include the manager’s house and the<br />
“cooler” house, both of which are three-bedroom, onebath<br />
cabins.<br />
Numerous equipment sheds, storage buildings as well as a<br />
meat processing room with a walk-in cooler round out the<br />
ranch’s infrastructure. A blacktop road runs from the main<br />
entrance to the main compound. Access is ensured by a<br />
permanent easement.<br />
For those who prefer the convenience of air travel, Rancho<br />
Agua Grande has a 5,800x70 instrument marked, painted and<br />
lighted runway that is completely surrounded by a high-fence<br />
ensuring that the airstrip is always clear. Jet fuel is available in<br />
Uvalde, which is 25 minutes away by car.<br />
Rancho Agua Grande is the place for people who appreciate<br />
superlatives. It’s ideally suited for a commercial hunting<br />
destination, a corporate retreat, an events center or an<br />
enviable private ranch open only to family and friends. Within<br />
its fences, everything is possible.<br />
To see the unique splendor and unlimited potential of the<br />
Rancho Agua Grande for yourself, contact Howard W.<br />
