Lot 230

Start at the north line of Tract 230 and walk it. There's fence running the full north side and the full west side of this 73.47 acre piece of ranch land for sale on Tortuga Ranch in Duval County, and those two fenced sides give you a working corner to build a plan around. Follow the north line, turn down the west, and you've traced better than half the perimeter without losing your bearings. The south and east lines are open ground, brush country the way most of this land comes. Study the survey and title work for exactly where every line falls, and we'll walk them with you.

This is the high tract. The ground climbs about 68 ft across the place, from roughly 635 up to 703 ft, and the notes from walking it are plain about the payoff. Great views from up top. Sight lines matter in brush country, where a rise of a few dozen feet is the difference between staring into mesquite and looking out over it, so put your camp or your pad where the ground crests and you'll see why this corner of the ranch stands out.

Here's the thing a buyer remembers about Tract 230. When the ranch roads were cut, this is where the base came from. There's a spot on top of the hill you can pull road base from, so if you ever need to firm up a drive or level a building pad, the material is already on your own ground. That's not a thing you find on most tracts. It's a working advantage that saves you hauling.

Gas wells are confirmed on the property. If that raises questions about surface use, income, or what runs under the ground, bring them to us and we'll tell you what we know and point you to the title work. A pipeline easement crosses the tract toward the southeast corner, which is common through this part of South Texas. It's shown on the survey and set out in the title work, and we'll show you where it runs when you come.

Duval County is old ranching country. Vaqueros were working these Spanish land grants by 1815, and the brush around Freer and San Diego has long carried a name among South Texas hunters for quail, dove, and whitetail. The mesquite and huisache that grow thick out here are the same cover that feeds the game. Tract 230 sits in the middle of that. Mostly undeveloped ground, sized for a hunting camp or a working piece of pasture.

Every tract on Tortuga is surveyed and carries deeded access on the ranch roads, so your lines are yours and your way in is written down. Owner financing keeps the rest simple, with as little as 5% down to get started. Come in the cooler months and wear boots you don't mind scuffing. We'll drive you up to the high spot, show you the base pile, and let you look out over the brush for yourself.
