Hilago Ranch is a rare opportunity to own 2,544 contiguous acres of highly improved, turnkey recreational ranchland in Stephens County, Texas. Designed for serious wildlife management, long-term value, and immediate enjoyment, this ranch blends elite genetics, substantial water assets, and professional infrastructure into one exceptional offering.
The ranch features approximately 1,977 acres under high fence, installed in 2022 (over 43,750), currently stocked with South Texas whitetail genetics from a private breeding operation. No deer have been harvested since release. Six 2,000-lb protein feeders run year-round, four 2,000-lb corn feeders are positioned with fiberglass two-man blinds, and three established food plots (68 acres each) enhance carrying capacity and herd development.
An additional 485 acre high-fenced pasture sits adjacent but separated, offering flexibility for exotic species or alternative management strategies.
Water is a true highlight. The ranch includes 11 total ponds/tanks, two water wells serving the foremans home and equipment barn (each with identical pressurized systems, filtration, booster pumps, and 3,000-gallon storage tanks), plus a solar well servicing wildlife. A professionally engineered dam completed in 2024 created a 2528 acre main reservoir, with a secondary 68 acre shallow reservoir ideal for waterfowl habitat. Bass, perch, and catfish populations are well established, and seasonal duck hunting is strong.
Improvements include:
1,856 sq ft 2022 Solitaire home (foremans residence)
One-room cabin with loft
40x60 equipment barn with power and water
Extensive all-weather caliche road system
Cleared perimeter fence roads and interior trail network
