Dimmit County - Carrizo Springs, TX
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.
Drive times:
-San Antonio: 2 Hours
-Austin: 3 hours and 20 minutes
-Houston: 5 hours
TOPOGRAPHY, RANGELAND & HABITAT
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.

Introduction
Located in the southeastern corner of Dimmit County, Texas, Rancho Encantado spans an impressive 5,250 acres in the heart of the famed Golden Triangle, a region celebrated for producing some of the largest and most impressive trophy whitetail deer in the state. Originally the headquarters of the historic Light Ranch, this property boasts a rich legacy of exceptional hunting and land stewardship. Since acquiring the ranch in 1992, renowned outdoorsman Jack Brittingham has meticulously managed its native deer herd, solidifying its reputation as one of the premier whitetail hunting destinations in North America. Rancho Encantado offers a unique opportunity to own a piece of Texas hunting history.
Land
The ranchs diverse landscape is composed primarily of red sandy loam soils, which support a remarkable variety of native, protein-rich plant species such as coma, granjeno, and kidneywood. These plants, combined with strict habitat management, provide an ideal environment for growing trophy whitetails. The brush ranges from mature thickets to fresh growth, offering excellent cover and forage. The ranch features many seasonal creek bottoms and a rolling topography of more than 150 feet of change, which creates long range views and a diversity of habitat throughout. Very little of the land has been cleared, preserving its natural character. To maintain habitat balance, the ranch also supports a herd of African sable, which contributes to the overall grazing management strategy.
Water
Water is a critical feature of Rancho Encantado, with eight Carrizo Aquifer wells ensuring a consistent and abundant supply. A sophisticated 6-inch water line system allows for efficient distribution across the ranch, including to five duck marshes that are strategically flooded to enhance waterfowl hunting. The property also features a 4.5-acre bass-stocked pond, supplemented by an irrigation well, and a smaller pond near the main residence that irrigates the surrounding lawn. This comprehensive water infrastructure supports both wildlife and habitat needs year-round.
Wildlife
Rancho Encantado is synonymous with world-class whitetail hunting. The ranchs deer herd has never been genetically augmented, a rarity in South Texas, and decades of strict management of the native whitetail have resulted in consistent production of Boone and Crockett-caliber South Texas bucks. The ranch boasts an extraordinary legacy of consistently harvesting multiple world-class whitetail deer each year, exemplified by the hundreds of photos and mounts throughout the lodge that commemorate each memory. In addition to deer, the ranch offers outstanding duck hunting, with marshes planted with Japanese millet each August and set up with blinds for an unforgettable experience. The ranch can support a healthy number of quail and recent reports have been excellent on bird numbers this year. The property also supports other wildlife, including African Sable and warthogs, adding to its diverse hunting opportunities.
Improvements
The ranchs infrastructure is designed to accommodate both intimate family retreats and large-scale corporate events. The 7,500-square-foot main lodge features a grand great room with a striking central fireplace, a formal dining area, and a fully equipped kitchen ideal for preparing anything from casual meals to gourmet feasts. With seven bedrooms and seven bathrooms, the lodge provides ample space for overnight guests. Additional accommodations include a ranch managers house built in 2011, two bow hunter cabins, and a unique Caboose Cabin repurposed from an old train car that pays homage to the propertys ranching history. Other improvements include a 4,000-foot runway (2,000ft paved) with a large hydraulic swing door hangar and adjacent barn, miles of well-maintained caliche roads, and extensive fencing to support high-quality game management.

The property is classic South Texas brush country with uniquely rolling terrain. The land's brush diversity and native grasses are ideal for livestock and wildlife. The property features five ponds/tanks, two notably large, and provides excellent year-round water sources. These support cattle operations and enhance the ranch's ecological value by servicing the whitetail deer, turkey, hogs, javelina, and waterfowl populations.
Conveniently located just three minutes from Carrizo Springs on Highway 83, the ranch sits in a region well known for its strong ranching heritage, rich soils, and exceptional wildlife habitat. The favorable semi-arid climate provides a long growing season, characterized by mild winters and hot, dry summers. The ranch receives about 20 to 21 inches of annual rainfall, mainly in spring and early fall, which, along with a reliable pond system, sustains rotational grazing, productive pastures, and consistent water availability. Strategically located ponds provide hydration during dry spells and serve as prime locations for mineral stations, supplemental feeding, and blinds for wildlife observation, making the environment both functional and resourceful.
Dos Presas Ranch functions well as a small, standalone grazing operation, but its location in South Texas's renowned "Golden Triangle" adds a layer of hunting recreation and lifestyle value. This area is known for producing trophy whitetail deer. It also supports abundant populations of dove, quail, turkey, and wild hogs, making the ranch ideal for fair-chase hunting and wildlife management.
With its rectangular layout, strong natural resources, and position in a highly sought-after region, Dos Presas presents a rare blend of production, recreation, and investment value.
