The Carrizo Ranch represents an incredible opportunity to acquire a nice sized and private ranch with diverse rangeland and habitat components. The rolling terrain offers predominantly fine sandy loam soils and native grasslands supporting a robust quail population, along with diverse brushlands for deer habitat components. The ranch is improved with a road system, distributed water, and is essentially high-fenced.
LOCATION
The ranch is located 6 miles WSW of Carrizo Springs. The ranch is accessed via a 3-mile private easement road (aka Risinger Road) through good-sized neighbors.

The ranch's rolling terrain has over 60' of relief, offering fantastic views and diversity. There is a lot of variety across the rangelands with some areas highly suitable to running bird dogs in pursuit of quail or rattling for deer along with other areas of heavier brush where sendero hunting from blinds for trophy deer is an opportunity. Trees include mesquite (including some fantastic bull mesquite) and coma. A variety of native grasses dominate the more open rangelands and a spectacular mix of diverse South Texas brush species occur across the ranch; all supported by the fine sandy loam soils that are found on the majority of the ranch. The ranch's habitat also benefits from three significant wet weather drainages that traverse the ranch.
WILDLIFE
The ranch supports native game populations of white-tailed deer, northern bobwhite quail, scaled (blue) quail and javelina. A few feral hogs can typically be found on the ranch along with non-game native species. The owners also report a few other exotics have been spotted from time to time.
AGRICULTURE
The property is leased for grazing. When stocked, the tenant uses a very conservative stocking rate in order to complement the rangelands and habitat. At this time, the tenant is allowing the ranch to rest and no cattle are present.
IMPROVEMENTS
There are no residential or other structures on the ranch.
With the exception of a small stretch (~155 feet) of low fence at the entrance area, the ranch is
surrounded by high fence.
The ranch has an adequate road system allowing access to all portions of the ranch but still leaving large
areas road free.
WATER
The ranch is mainly watered by one water well (old windmill converted to solar) with distribution to 5
troughs on the ranch and one across the fence on the neighbor. There is also a sixth trough accessible
to both livestock and wildlife calling the ranch home. The sixth trough is located in the easement entry
area and is fed by the same neighbors well.
The ranch is located over the Carrizo-Wilcox aquifer so there is adequate groundwater available.
ELECTRICITY
While the ranch does not have any improvements requiring electricity today, there is electricity located
within the easement entry area and also on the neighbor to the north several hundred feet beyond
property line.
MINERALS
The offering is surface only. There is no oil and gas production or related activity on the ranch at this time.
AREA HISTORY
In addition to enjoying the ranch for hunting game, the owners have also enjoyed the pastime of hunting for points and other historical artifacts. Indian artifacts dating from the Paleo-Indian period (9200 to 6000 B.C.) demonstrate that man has lived in the area of Dimmit County for about 11,000 years.
