This turnkey South Texas ranch boasts unparalleled luxury and top-of-the-line amenities, offering a remarkable stone compound, featuring a spectacular main house, a trophy room complete with a commercial kitchen, a guest house, and multiple casitas all overlooking a scenic stocked pond set atop one of the highest points in Jim Hogg County.

IMPROVEMENTS:
The Nawi ranch has 1.5-mile frontage on Highway 16 and a beautiful grand entrance gate. A great road system leads you through the initial pasture to the middle of the property, where the main compound sits atop one of the largest lomas in Jim Hogg County. The main lodge is 6,500 + sf and features Canadian Firs with five bedrooms, 6 full baths, and a half bath. The master suite, bathroom, and closet are nothing short of luxurious. Next to the main house sits a separate standalone trophy room with a full-scale commercial kitchen and top-of-the-line theater and living space. Outside, an outdoor BBQ area and fire pit overlook the scenic views of the Sierre Madres and pond. The 2,200-square-foot bunkhouse features two bunkrooms, each with their own full bath, full kitchen, and private porch. There are also four private cabins for guests in a more secluded setting.

The ranch also includes a new large barn for equipment and a cleaning area, and is equipped with living quarters, perfect for a Ranch Manager. Other improvements include a high fence, tractor bays, a cleaning station, and storage for equipment and hunting gear. All in all, the vistas, facilities, and design of the NAWI Ranch make it a one-of-a-kind property.

TERRAIN:
The habitat at the NAWI Ranch is rich and diverse, providing a perfect environment for wildlife such as whitetail deer, bobwhite, and blue quail. The ranch is divided into several different zones, including rolling lomas with rocky gravel outcrops, Delmita red sand country, and a Brennan and Comitas fine sand pasture ideal for quail hunting. With plenty of native high protein forage, earthen ponds, and mature brush areas, the NAWI Ranch is the ultimate dual-purpose property for wildlife and hunting. One highlight of the front 1,422 acres is the gorgeous natural Anacahuita (Mexican olive) grove located on the northeast quadrant of the front pasture. This entire pasture is teeming with tons of native high protein forage such as guajillo, granjeno, kidney wood, and a good cactus crop. South of the front pasture is a 1,462 +/- acre pasture, comprised almost entirely of Brennan and Comitas fine sands, lending itself to one of the premier quail habitat pastures. The rear pasture also has plenty of mature brush areas with native forage to support a healthy whitetail population. This pasture has two large earthen ponds, as well as 9 concrete tanks. Located near camp is a cleared earthen tank designed for those early season dove hunts and/or warming up your shotgun skills for the season.

WILDLIFE:
Native wildlife thrives on this High fenced South Texas ranch and includes Whitetail, turkey, dove, and quail. The quail hunting is phenomenal on this ranch, as the ranch has a large pasture with sandy soil and managed brush strips ideal for quail hunting. Proper habitat management and an above adequate water supply have also provided outstanding populations of quail and other wildlife. The whitetail deer herd has been extensively managed and improved with breeder bucks and does having been introduced onto the ranch over the years. With the continued management the genetics of the ranch continue to improve as the ranch has produced some 200 + inch deer. Aside from the excellent hunting that is available, there is a stocked pond behind the house that provides fishing opportunities.

WATER:
Water on the ranch is provided through 4 wells and distributed throughout the ranch to 6 concrete earthen tanks, 5 earthen tanks, and 8 quail water stations. The main lodge and improvements run off an independent well and function off softened water with point of use RO systems.
