The Del Venado West Ranch offers an opportunity to acquire 3,981 acres of rolling West-Central Texas ranchland located in Menard and Schleicher Counties. As part of the larger Del Venado Ranch, this tract carries many of the same desirable characteristics, including productive grazing potential, quality hunting habitat, and strong access. The size, layout, and infrastructure make it well suited for a standalone hunting property, cattle operation, or long-term land investment. The ranch is accessed by Treadwell Lane, a county-maintained road that forms the eastern boundary of the property, while much of the northern boundary is defined by Rocking Chair Lane. This positioning provides excellent access and creates a clearly defined boundary configuration. The ranch is divided into four main pastures, offering flexibility for livestock rotation, wildlife management, or future operational planning. The terrain consists of rolling hills with an exceptional concentration of mature oak trees scattered across the property, setting this tract apart from others in the area. These oaks are spread throughout the hills and draws, creating a strong visual appeal while also providing excellent cover and habitat. Areas of mesquite and native brush are mixed throughout, but the density and consistency of oak cover is a defining feature of the ranch. The combination of open country and wooded draws provides good habitat diversity and supports strong native wildlife populations, along with exotics seen in the area. Several elevated areas offer long-range views, adding to the overall usability and character of the property. Water is provided by six water wells strategically located across the property, supporting both livestock and wildlife. The distribution of water, combined with the pasture layout, enhances the functionality of the ranch for both grazing and recreational use. The ranch is fenced and cross-fenced and has historically been used for cattle grazing and hunting. The property maintains an agricultural exemption, helping to keep property taxes manageable. An additional benefit of the Del Venado West Ranch is the opportunity to expand. Approximately 4,693 acres located directly east of Treadwell Lane are also available, creating the potential for a significantly larger, contiguous ranch if desired. This provides a rare opportunity for a buyer to scale ownership in a way that is increasingly difficult to find in this region. The Del Venado West Ranch represents a well-balanced combination of access, water, exceptional oak cover, wildlife habitat, and scale, offering a solid opportunity to own a meaningful piece of Texas ranchland in a desirable area.
