El Cayo Ranch, located across from the King Ranch and on one of the primary branches of Baffin Bay, offers an increasingly rare opportunity to own a ranch of this size in this part of Texas. This beachfront property has been owned and operated by the same family for three generations and presents world-class fishing, wing-shooting, and whitetail hunting opportunities. The land has been utilized for cattle grazing in recent years and with minimal improvements a new owner could create the ideal weekend getaway location. Located just 14 mi South of Kingsville, 13 mi from the Kaufer-Hubert boat ramp, 1 hour to Corpus Christi, 2.5 hours to San Antonio, 3.5 hours to Houston and only a 15-minute drive to the legendary King's Inn. Wildlife: Dove, quail, ducks, geese and crane offer outstanding wing-shooting and waterfowl hunting opportunities, while the adequately dense mesquite growth provides cover for whitetail deer, Rio Grande turkey and the occasional nilgai. This part of Texas is also well-known for its birding opportunities with close to 400 distinct species observed. Habitat: Typical of ranches in this area, flora on the ranch includes southern live oak, mesquite, prickly pear, blackbrush, brasil, lime prickly ash and Spanish Dagger. Tall bunch grasses located throughout the ranch also provide excellent habitat for the native quail population. Improvements: The ranch is fenced and cross fenced into four pastures of roughly equal size. There is one water well with a large, attached pila, and electric service is available onsite. Access: Primary access is made via country road FM 2180 with a secondary entrance located on FM 2190. Water: One water well with attached pila that supplies water to a large, centrally located water trough. Mineral Rights: Sellers to retain owned mineral rights.
