The Crestonio Ranch is perhaps one of the finest and most complete South Texas hunting ranches to be offered on the market. Extensive and refined improvements match the sprawling 12,078-acre ranch just north of Hebbronville. The crown jewel of the operation is the quail hunting, which is outstanding. 9,579 +/- acres of the ranch are high-fenced and over many years the deer herd has been developed to be one of the finest in Texas with multiple 200+ inch scored deer harvested. Tremendous dove hunting, plentiful turkey, and the entire ranch is set up to facilitate an efficient cattle operation. The improvements on the property are highly refined for entertaining guests in South Texas luxury. The Crestonio is truly a complete ranch that has been patiently created to become a true Texas playground and working ranch. LOCATION The ranch is located just northeast of Hebbronville, Texas. It has extensive frontage on both FM 359 and State Highway 16. TOPOGRAPHY, RANGELAND & HABITAT Soils on this ranch are dominated by fine sandy loams of the northwestern sand areas of South Texas (primarily Delmita and Delmita Bruni complexes). These soils are slightly tighter than some of the sugar sands found further south but have the ability to retain moisture better during drier periods common in South Texas. The ranch is a mixture of more open native and some improved grasslands along with brush species commonly found in this region of Texas including catclaw, black brush, mesquite, and guayacan. The land generally has gently rolling topography with over 70’ of relief between the high and low points of the ranch. There are a few minor drainages that run through the property, and there are multiple ponds, lakes and watering holes. WILDLIFE Northern Bobwhite Quail: The primary quarry for hunters on the ranch is bobwhite quail. Much of the ranch is committed to maximizing quail habitat and production through rotational grazing, prescribed burning, and mulching quail strips. The ranch is parceled into 24 separate pastures to manage the cattle herd and promote consistently high-quality quail populations. Water is distributed efficiently throughout the ranch with nowhere on the property further than a 1/4 mile from a water source. These practices coupled with naturally productive soils, grasses, and brush provide some of the highest quail production you will find. The Crestonio ranch has developed a system balancing open grasslands and brush conducive to these types of soils that has created what is likely the most consistent wild quail ranch in South Texas. Over the past four years, the ranch reported the following: ’20-’21 – 28 coveys per day in field average ’21-’22 – 31 coveys per day in field average ’22-’23 – 20 coveys per day in field average ’23-’24 – 23 coveys per day in field average Quail “top day” numbers for each year: ’20-’21 34 Coveys ’21-’22 54 Coveys ’22-’23 37 Coveys ’23-’24 45 Coveys Looking at the long-term averages of quail population in South Texas none of the last four years were considered better…
