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 (6–8 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 foreman’s 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 25–28± acre main reservoir, with a secondary 6–8 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 (foreman’s residence)
One-room cabin with loft
40’x60’ equipment barn with power and water
Extensive all-weather caliche road system
Cleared perimeter fence roads and interior trail network
This ranch has been thoughtfully developed with long-term vision—whether as a legacy family retreat, wildlife investment, corporate getaway, or high-end recreational holding.
Hilago Ranch delivers scale, infrastructure, water security, and elite genetics in one cohesive property.
