Lot 232

Come out at first light in early spring, when the Duval County air still holds the cool of the night and the sun edges over the eastern line. You'll hear the pump jack before you see it, that steady mechanical nod that never quits. Off to the northeast, a seasonal draw threads its way through the tract for about 740 ft, and where a track drops down and fords the creek bed, you'll find the low crossing that ties the two halves of this 90.02 acre tract together. This is Tortuga Ranch land for sale in Duval County, Texas, and it wears its history on the ground.

The draw is the heart of it. It cuts toward the northeast corner, and after a rain it'll carry water and pull the game down to it the way low ground always does in this part of South Texas. We'll show you the ford in person. You can stand right where the track crosses the bed and see for yourself how the land falls toward it. It won't run all the time, no draw out here does, but it shapes where the deer move and where you'd think hard about putting a stand.

The tract is long and narrow, better than three times as deep as it is wide, and the ground rises about 97 ft from one end to the other (roughly 619 to 716 ft). That climb gives you high spots to sit a camp on, up out of the low ground where the draw runs. There's an existing dirt ranch road on the tract too, nearly 3,960 ft of it, tracking from the northeast corner down to the south side. It's already there. You won't be cutting a fresh line in from scratch to reach the far end of the property, and we'll drive it with you so you can judge the ground it crosses.

Fence stands along three sides here, the full west line, plus stretches of the north and south. That gives you real corners to plan against when you lay out a pasture or a hunting setup. The recorded survey governs where your boundary sits, so let the plat, not the wire, tell you your lines. Every tract on Tortuga is surveyed and carries deeded access on the ranch roads, so your way in is written down.

An oil pump jack sits on the tract and was actively pumping when we last covered it. There's also an old livestock water tank on the ground, though we can't speak to its condition, so come see it and judge for yourself. Two pipeline easements cross toward the northeast corner, which is common through this stretch of the country and is shown on the survey and set out in the title work.

This is honest brush ranch land with a working past and a draw worth owning. Owner financing keeps it within reach, with as little as 5% down to get started. Wear boots you don't mind getting dusty, come out in the cool part of a spring morning, and we'll take you to the creek first.
