Property Description
The Del Venado Ranch represents a rare opportunity to acquire 8,674 acres of rolling West-Central Texas ranchland located primarily in Menard County, with a smaller portion extending into neighboring Schleicher County. Large contiguous ranches of this scale rarely come available in this region, particularly properties that have remained in the same family for decades. The ranch offers an attractive combination of productive grazing, excellent hunting, abundant live oak cover, and strong access, making it well suited for a large hunting property, working cattle ranch, or long-term investment in Texas land. Located approximately 17 miles from Menard, 33 miles from San Angelo, and about 145 miles from Austin, the ranch is accessed by Treadwell Lane, a county-maintained road with approximately 3.4 miles of frontage. Treadwell Lane runs through the ranch, creating excellent access throughout the property and allowing for potential division into multiple ownership tracts if desired. The ranch features rolling terrain with scattered live oak trees across the hills and draws, along with pockets of mesquite and cedar typical of the region. Several elevated areas across the property provide nice long-range views of the surrounding countryside, adding to the overall character of the ranch. Numerous small draws traverse the property and provide natural wildlife travel corridors and habitat. Water is provided by approximately ten water wells located throughout the ranch. While there are no major creeks or large surface water features, the distributed well infrastructure provides dependable water sources for both livestock and wildlife across the property. The ranch has been used historically for cattle grazing and recreational hunting. Native wildlife populations are strong, and the property supports whitetail deer, turkey, quail, feral hogs, axis deer, and blackbuck antelope. The combination of brush cover, open areas, and scattered live oaks provides good habitat diversity for wildlife. Improvements on the ranch are minimal, consisting of an older ranch house with limited contributory value and several informal hunting camp areas. The interior road system is basic but functional, allowing access to much of the property. The ranch is perimeter fenced and cross-fenced, with the majority of the perimeter being low fence and portions of high fence in place. The property is currently agriculturally exempt, helping keep property taxes manageable. The sale is surface only, though the mineral estate may be available for purchase separately. The ranch is currently under a wind lease, and all wind rights associated with the property will transfer with the sale. There is no current wind production on the ranch. An additional feature of the property is the ability to divide the ranch into multiple large tracts if desired. The ranch could be partitioned into approximately: 3,981 acres 2,685 acres 2,008 acres The seller will consider selling the ranch in these partitions. This flexibility creates opportunities for multiple buyers, partnerships, or future resale options. Large legacy ranches with this level of access, size, and hunting potential are becoming increasingly difficult to find in this part of Texas. The Del Venado Ranch represents a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial piece of Texas ranchland in a desirable and accessible location.
