Exquisite South Texas Ranching

The Ranch

Same family, same gate, same twenty-three seasons.

We started managing this place in 2003 and we have not handed it to anybody since.

Big Drop sits in Medina County, forty minutes west of San Antonio, on the seam where Hill Country limestone gives way to South Texas brush. The water is the reason. Spring-fed lakes, live oak, and a windmill that has been turning longer than most of the deer on the place have been alive.

Three things happen here. We hunt whitetail and exotics under a management program going back two decades. We put people up in a lodge that was built for it rather than converted into it. And we raise registered Brahman and Golden Certified F-1 cattle on the same ground.

The Lodge

Built for this in 2010. Not a ranch house somebody started renting out.

Five thousand nine hundred and sixty-one square feet, four and a half baths, sleeping for fourteen. A stone fireplace, a long table that seats everybody at once, a pool, a covered patio, and a fire pit for the part of the evening where nobody wants to go inside yet.

5,961 SQ FT · SLEEPS 14 · 4.5 BATHS · POOL & FIRE PIT

Corporate & Groups

Take the whole gate.

Whole-ranch buyout for corporate groups, family reunions, and anybody who would rather not share a table with strangers. Put your people in blinds before light and around one table after dark. Deals close out here that would not close in a conference room.

The Wall

What has come off this place.

Twenty-three seasons of harvest records. Every one of these was taken by a guest, with a guide, on this ranch.
