The MV2 Ranch is arguably one of the finest quail and wildlife ranches in the country. This is the place where range conditions, mother nature, and true land stewardship have come into remarkable alignment, creating an ideal ranch and recreational mecca for the true sportsman – an offering on the market that represents a very rare opportunity. The property was once part of the famed 67,000± acre Mesa Vista Ranch and is home to some of the greatest native bobwhite quail in Texas. This northeastern Panhandle ranch has more than sufficient water to continue to support a healthy bird and wildlife population, with one main feature being a 7-mile water line that runs 24/7 with sprinkler heads every 1,000 feet. Quail is the focus, yet the ranch also boasts a very healthy herd of mule and white-tailed deer as well!
Approximately 30 years ago, Boone Pickens started a vision of creating the world’s greatest quail hunting, and this ranch is a key segment of that storied land holding. Because of the historical, expansive care and management of the quail and range conditions, this remains one of the best wild quail habitats. A fall 2023 game survey by one of Texas’s top wildlife biologists resulted in an impressive flushing of over 130 coveys! The very diverse landscape of natural habitat is also home to whitetail deer, mule deer, antelope, blue quail, and doves. 200± quail feeders and five 600-pound protein/corn feeders also supplement the wildlife.
There are about 30 miles of good fences, about one-third of which have been built within the last three years. This allows for smart pasture rotation should the next owner decide to bring cattle back into the ranch, which has not been done in 18 years. Two-track roads meander throughout the ranch to access the entire property and have been maintained and shredded for ease of travel.
A two-bedroom house is currently being remodeled in the headquarters area, overlooking a beautiful lake and quiet setting. Ask the broker for more details.
The focal point of the ranch water system on top of the Ogallala aquifer is the 4-inch waterline that runs approximately 7 miles along the Dry Creek area of the ranch. This is an incredible and diverse topographical area that runs north to south from one end of the ranch to the other. A sprinkler head every 1,000 feet provides moisture and water for quail and wildlife all year long, and this runs off of a water well on the south end of the ranch. MV2 Ranch boasts approximately 10 water wells. The ranch is allowed to install up to 50 additional water wells throughout the property to provide additional water for wildlife and livestock (up to 17 GPM). Natural stock ponds, potholes, pools, and 12 fallow pivot fields also water the property.
Minerals are not being offered with this sale, but a small portion of the mineral estate may be available with an acceptable contract. Contact the broker for more details.
