The ranch headquarters features a well-maintained main residence with two bedrooms, a kitchen, utility room, and an open living and kitchen area with a fireplace. A detached covered carport with additional storage complements the home.

A separate guest house provides four bedrooms, two bathrooms, and an open living and kitchen area, offering plenty of room for family and guests. The main residence, guest house, and cook shack are all well constructed, well maintained, and feature attractive rock exteriors.

The enclosed cook shack is a great gathering space with windows throughout, an old iron wood-burning stove, gas cooking equipment, griddle, and ample room for tables and entertaining.

Additional improvements include a fully enclosed equipment barn on a concrete slab, a covered outdoor game-cleaning area, a walk-in cooler, and a three-sided equipment shed with enclosed storage. The headquarters also includes a 40-foot storage container and an overhead grain bin for feed. The entire headquarters compound is fenced to keep livestock away from the residential and improvement area.

WATER

Bell Hollow Ranch is exceptionally well watered for both wildlife and livestock. An electric submersible well at the headquarters supplies water to the residences and nearby water troughs.

Three additional solar-powered water wells are strategically located throughout the ranch, with a fourth currently being drilled. Concrete water troughs located throughout the property further distribute water across the ranch, providing dependable water sources for livestock and wildlife.

WILDLIFE

One of the standout features of Bell Hollow Ranch is its native whitetail deer herd. For approximately 14 years, the herd has been intensively managed with the assistance of a well-known wildlife biologist. The ranch has produced Hill Country whitetail scoring into the high 160s Boone & Crockett.

The current owner has maintained records of harvested animals as well as wildlife surveys and photographs, providing a history of the management program and results achieved on the ranch. The whitetail population is healthy and abundant.

In addition to native whitetail deer, the ranch supports healthy populations of axis deer, turkey, dove, and other native Hill Country wildlife.

TERRAIN & HABITAT

Bell Hollow Ranch is extremely scenic, with rolling topography and an excellent balance between open grassland and dense wildlife cover. The varied terrain provides long-range views while draws and thicker areas create excellent bedding and escape cover for wildlife.

Tree and brush cover consists of live oak, juniper, mesquite, hackberry, oak motts, and other native species. Healthy native grasses are found throughout the property, creating quality forage for both livestock and wildlife.

The ranch offers a particularly attractive mix of open country, scattered trees, oak motts, and areas of dense cover. The aerial imagery simply does not do the property justice—the diversity and beauty of the land are best appreciated in person.
