A Sprawling Texas Oasis of Wildlife, Adventure, and Scenic Beauty

Nestled in the heart of the Edwards Plateau, Nineteen Mile Ranch is an expansive 7,500± acre ranch that offers unparalleled beauty, privacy, and endless opportunities for adventure. This one-of-a-kind property is located between Uvalde and Camp Wood along the scenic State Highway 55, providing easy access to both the convenience of modern amenities and the rustic charm of the Texas wilderness. The ranch’s location is ideally situated just 20 miles from Uvalde—home to grocery stores, hotels, and Garner Field Airport—while the more laid-back town of Camp Wood, also 20 miles away, offers a taste of small-town hospitality and local flavor.

Expansive Acreage and Breathtaking Terrain

Nineteen Mile Ranch spans approximately five miles by five miles, featuring a diverse topography that includes rolling plateaus, rugged canyons, and wet-weather creeks that create a truly awe-inspiring landscape. Elevations range from 1,160 feet to 1,664 feet, with the highest plateau offering sweeping 360-degree views of the surrounding Sycamore Mountain Range. The natural beauty of the ranch is highlighted by numerous oak trees, dense native brush, and wide-open spaces perfect for exploration or building your dream home. Power lines run through the northern portion of the property, allowing for private building sites with exceptional views. A network of well-maintained roads and trails runs throughout the property, offering excellent accessibility across the rugged terrain. Two primary roads connect to the cattle pens in the south-central region and the highest plateau, while miles of UTV trails make it easy to navigate the landscape, access hunting blinds, or reach the river for recreation. We logged over 50 miles exploring the ranch, and we’re confident there’s still more to discover.

Wildlife, Hunting, and Recreation

Nineteen Mile Ranch is a true hunter’s paradise, offering year-round opportunities to hunt native and exotic wildlife. Its diverse terrain is ideal for white-tailed deer, Rio Grande turkey, blue quail, and dove. The ranch is also home to free-range exotic species, including axis deer, sable antelope, and aoudad, thanks to its proximity to neighboring high-fenced properties. Whether you prefer stand hunting or spot-and-stalk, this ranch delivers a rich hunting experience. Texas Parks and Wildlife consistently rank this area among the top regions for white-tailed deer in the state. Multiple elevated hunting blinds, feeders, and water troughs—strategically placed across the property—will convey with the sale. The Nueces River forms part of the western boundary, offering a serene retreat and exceptional fishing. The river’s clear, blue-tinted channel is deep and ideal for swimming and angling, with species such as Guadalupe bass, largemouth bass, gar, sunfish, and catfish.

River Frontage, Water Wells, and Livestock

Water is a critical feature of Nineteen Mile Ranch. In addition to its river frontage, the ranch has three reliable water wells that feed multiple holding tanks and above-ground cisterns. These gravity-fed systems provide fresh water to concrete troughs positioned throughout the property, serving both livestock and wildlife. These watering holes double as ideal locations for hunting and wildlife observation, especially during dove season. Additionally, existing water wells could easily supply water to future home sites. Seasonal wet-weather creeks, such as Long Hollow, further enhance the ranch’s water features during spring rains.

Vegetation and Natural Beauty

The ranch supports a rich array of native Texas vegetation, enhancing both its scenic beauty and ecological value. Majestic live oaks, Texas red oaks, and mesquite trees are found throughout the property, while denser stands of Ashe juniper, pecan, and sycamore trees flourish along rivers and canyons. Brush species like cenizo, prickly pear cactus, blackbrush acacia, and guajillo provide essential cover for wildlife. In spring, the land transforms into a vibrant mosaic of wildflowers—bluebonnets, Engelmann daisies, and Maximilian sunflowers—complemented by native forbs and grasses like Indian blanket and prairie verbena that attract pollinators and enrich biodiversity.
