Acreage: This high-fenced ranch is comprised of 567+/- acres in Kimble County. It has several hilltops and deep draws with 300-foot elevation changes. The views are great with a great diversity in terrain for a great family hunting or recreational ranch with gently rolling hills covered in large stands of Live Oak and White Oak trees along with groomed cedar trees. There are several deep drainage systems that support excellent habitats for wildlife. Wildlife: The Panadero Ranch has been primarily managed as a trophy Whitetail Deer hunting facility with a breeding operation. Beginning in 2012 the deer herd on the ranch has been actively managed and improved and is currently in its 8th year as a Texas Parks and Wildlife MLDP 3 program. Year-round protein feeding, improved genetics and game management have successfully produced healthy herds year after year. As such, the genetics present in the deer population on the ranch have improved dramatically over the past 8 years. The deer have mostly South Texas genetics with some introduced genetics from Northern states included to improve antler mass and size. Typically only mature bucks that have been released on the ranch for hunting are harvested allowing each buck to reach its full potential. The deer receive supplemental nutrition year-round. There are Whitetail bucks over 160+ B&C that have been taken over the last 5 years. With the improved genetics now firmly established in the Whitetail population on the ranch, deer hunting should only get better if continues to be properly managed! The variety of wildlife species currently seen on the ranch include Whitetail deer, Blackbuck antelope, Axis deer, Transcaspian Urial rams, turkey, quail, and ducks, as well as predators such as bobcats and Gray foxes. Water: The ranch has 5 water wells. Three wells in the shallow Edwards Aquifer produce 4, 5, and 6 GPM and are each connected to storage tanks. One well is in the Trinity Aquifer and produces 20 to 40 GMP. The remaining well is operated by a windmill and is 4 GPM. There is a 1.5-acre man-made lake with a pier also on the ranch. Northeast of the Main Home is another small pond that was created in an area of the ranch dubbed, The Sanctuary, where it gives yet another strategically placed area for the wildlife to have a great water supply as it is supplemented by well water when needed. Comments: This is a fantastic game-managed Hill Country Whitetail & Exotic Ranch. The impeccably furnished 5,500 sq. ft. log cabin is a magnificent ranch house or the perfect corporate hunting lodge. Other residences on the ranch can serve as guest overflow, foreman’s quarters, or additional staff. This ranch has been managed for 8+ years and tailored to be a great, high-caliber ranch in the making of a first-class whitetail & exotic hunting ranch.
