BROOKS RANCH – 278.75 ACRES
Acres: 278.75 +/-
Location: Conveniently located on paved FM 285 halfway between Riviera and Falfurrias, Tx. This Brooks County property is in an area of legendary and historical ranches and borders the mighty King Ranch for over a mile (high fence). It is also less than 20 miles from the world famous fishing of Baffin Bay and the Laguna Madre. Corpus Christi International Airport is only one hour away, McAllen is an hour and a half, and San Antonio is 2.5 hours.
Description: Beautiful ag exempt ranch offering the perfect combination of quiet privacy and accessibility with over a mile of paved road frontage. The dense South Texas brush is interspersed with a network of food plots, senderos, roads, and trails. With three water wells and a nice drainage area through the middle of the ranch, large water development is a real possibility.
Wildlife: This area of South Texas is famous for big whitetail bucks along with turkey, hogs, javelina, dove, and quail. Nilgai antelope are known to be in the area as well. The Coastal Plains are a bird watcher’s paradise and wintering ducks, geese, and cranes are plentiful in the surrounding fields, lakes, and bays.
Improvements: Approximately 7,200′ of paved county road frontage. Currently high fenced on one side and low fenced on the remainder, the ranch would be a good candidate to create a trophy hunting destination or continue to enjoy the free roaming populations of deer that come and go. There are three water wells, two of which are currently being used, and there is electricity along the road frontage and across other areas of the ranch. Right at the front of the property is a very large (approximately 40’x100′) metal building on concrete slab that could make a great barndominium as well as storage for all the vehicles, equipment, and ranch toys. There is also a hunter’s cabin that is in need of some remodeling and updating.
Remarks: This 278.75 acre Brooks County property is truly a rare offering. It is surrounded by historical ranches and borders the King Ranch for over a mile. Famous for its trophy whitetail deer, abundant bobwhite quail, interesting nilgai antelope, and world-renowned fishing in Baffin Bay, the location is a sportsmen’s paradise. Nice usable ranch improvements along with all necessary infrastructure including extensive electric availability and three water wells, allowing a buyer the opportunity to develop into a luxury destination or just keep as a quiet escape. With over a mile of paved highway frontage, future development is a real possibility. Ranches in this area rarely come available so don’t miss the opportunity to make this one yours.
