More information



Description:  Known as the Hand Knife Ranch, this very unique and striking property sits in the Devil’s River basin just above the headwaters.   On average rainfall years the river will flow through the ranch and there are both sides of the river for 8/10 mile.   The terrain on the Hand Knife is very diverse with approximately half of the ranch consisting of South Texas brush country. The other half is High County with nice views and makes you feel the ranch is much larger. There is a good mix of high protein vegetation with good browse to support the wildlife. There is a water well that feeds a .2-acre pond centrally located that is awesome for wildlife and dove.  There are 4 water troughs with new water lines installed in 2021.  There is a good water well with a new pump. A good road system is in place that was recently worked and bladed. There is a nice two-bedroom camp house and an equipment barn with enclosed feed room.  There is also a 2019 Kawasaki Mule FXT Pro that will convey and 5 – 5’x 5’ new deer blinds and feeders that will convey.    There is a strong Whitetail deer herd with a good population of Aoudad and other exotic animals that roam through the ranch.  Black Bear and Mountain Lions have been spotted on the property as well.

There is a conservation easement in place by the Nature Conservancy to prevent any future subdivision or development.
