15.9 Acres in Duval County – Tortuga Ranch, Tract 245

Tract 245 at Tortuga Ranch: 15.91 acres in Duval County, $79,470 ($4,995 per acre). Vaqueros were working stock on Duval County's Spanish land grants by 1815, two decades before Texas was Texas, and by the 1880s this same brush country reportedly carried more sheep than any county in America, nearly 197,000 head in the 1880 census alone. Land that has fed herds that long grows cover as well as grass, and these days the mesquite and huisache thickets around Freer and San Diego carry a different kind of fame. This part of South Texas has earned its reputation among brush country hunters for quail, dove, and whitetail. Tortuga Ranch sits in the middle of that country. Tracts here are sized for everything from a weekend hunting camp up to working-scale pasture, and every one has been surveyed and carries deeded access on the ranch roads, so your lines are your lines and your way in belongs to you on paper. Owner financing keeps it simple. As little as 5% down will get you started, and we will carry a note up to 30 years. Call us about Tortuga Ranch, or better yet, come walk the brush for yourself.
