Squirrel Creek Road , D'Hanis, TX 78850(Medina County)

Located just 10 miles southwest of DHanis, Texas, Quarterback Lake Ranch provides all of the qualities of a great South Texas property less than 50 miles from Loop 1604 in San Antonio, and 20 miles from South Texas Regional Airport in Hondo. This area represents some of the first high-quality deer and quail habitat west of San Antonio, insuring solid investment potential. With frontage on CR 520 (Squirrel Creek Road), this oasis of great water features and diverse habitat exists in one of the most highly sought after and least available areas of the state. Several Texas heritage ranching families own large tracts surrounding this location, including the Nunleys, Zachrys, and Pettys, affirming its desirability.

Over a mile of West Squirrel Creek dissects the ranch diagonally, including an 85 acre trophy fishing impoundment where large bass and catfish are readily caught. Below the lake, years of excavation and improvement along the creek have created deep pools of live water lined with large oaks and other hardwoods, attracting game and waterfowl and providing a truly unique setting for this region. A well-maintained manufactured home overlooks the lake currently, and provides a nice place to stay along with the necessary utilities for construction of the ranch house of your dreams, or would work nicely as employee housing should you decide to build at one of the many locations providing private views of the water features. Relax in the adjacent swimming pilla, a South Texas take on a pool. There is also a detached 20x 70 metal equipment shed to house the implements and toys necessary to maintain and enjoy the place.

The range site is evenly-distributed with a diversity of soil types offering a great mixture of quality forage to native deer and livestock. Several miles of well-maintained pasture roads allow a person to easily traverse the ranchs gently undulating landscape, with enough change in topography to provide awesome vistas. White-tailed deer are abundant, with no trophy hunting pressure in the last 3 years. Blue and Bobwhite quail, turkey, and plentiful dove round out the available game species. The perimeter is about 50% high-fenced, allowing the landowner the choice of completing the enclosure or leaving it partially low-fenced, depending on management goals.

Quarterback Lake Ranch is truly a rare find, offering live water typical of the Hill Country in the middle of great South Texas brush. Additional acreage, up to 2,900, is available for negotiable price.
