Ranch Description

Mesquite Tree Ranch is a rare opportunity to acquire a true legacy ranch in the highly sought-after South Texas Sand Sheet. Held in the same family since the 1930s, ranches of this size and caliber seldom come available in this region.  The ranch offers excellent wildlife habitat, reliable water resources, and well-maintained livestock improvements, making it ideally suited for both cattle operations and recreational use.  With over 9,000 contiguous acres in one of South Texass most tightly held regions, Mesquite Tree Ranch stands as a premier long-term investment with tremendous hunting and ranching appeal. 

Improvements on the Ranch

Structural improvements are modest yet highly functional and centered around a well-established hunting camp comprised of three cabins totaling 14 rooms, a cook kitchen, cleaning shed, and equipment pole barn.  The ranch is cross-fenced into approximately 750-acre pastures, allowing for efficient livestock rotation.  The interior fencing and cattle pens have all been well maintained.  There is an expansive all-weather road system across the ranch, allowing for easy access during all weather conditions

Water Summary

Water infrastructure is a major strength of the ranch. There are 15 water wells strategically located throughout the property, including 6 electric wells and 9 solar-powered wells. This extensive water system provides reliable water distribution for both livestock and wildlife and supports strong year-round carrying capacity across the ranch.  

Vegetation and Terrain

Located in the heart of the Sand Sheet, the western 70% of the ranch is naturally motted quail country blanketed by native grasses with the dominate soil types being Falfurrias Fine Sand and Nueces-Sarita association.  The remaining eastern portion is a mosaic of dense brush and open areasThe unique combination of deep sandy soils, native grass cover, and ideal browse diversity creates what is widely regarded as some of the finest quail habitat in North America.  The varied brush density also helps support a trophy native whitetail herd.
