Nail Ranch

[huntmaster]

I just talked to a fella that said his investment group(Bandera something) bought 19,000A of the Nail Ranch. Has anyone heard about this? Just wondering if it's true?

I've heard of the Nail Ranch, but I didn't think it was big enough to give up 19,000 acres. I haven't heard about anyone buying it, but if they did from what I know and understand its a heck of an investment!

if they dont need all of em they could throw me a couple of hundred for kicks.

hhhmmm - I have not heard anything of a sale at the Nail. Would be interested to know if it is true. The Nail is one of those ranches that I never expected to sale any of their property. Of course I guess if the price was right it would be hard for them to pass up. I'll be watching this thread to see if any more info transpires

I believe that parts of the Nail Ranch have been sold in the past and that there was a huge tract for sale. I guess it sold. Maybe Buck Nail will come shed some light on the sale.

I Googled - Nail Ranch sold- and found the website of Chas. Middleton, a farm/ranch broker in Lubbock. Looks like they were listing the property and they are showing a 19,000+ acre tract of the Nail as "SOLD".

The total ranch size according to their web page is 56,000 acres

You know, I was thinking about buying about 30 square miles or so for a little "weekend getaway place", I just haven't gotten around to it. That's what I get for procrastinating...

A fellow worker told me yesterday his friend had 2500 acres leased there for bird hunting and YES..itt has been sold

Know what you mean. Just slip out at lunch, hit the ATM and make the purchase. It just seems to slip the mind
Maybe tomorrow.

I heard late last year that the owner of the Galvan, and many other ranches down south and west, offered $1K an acre for the Callahan and was told no thanks. That would be about $80-$90mil I guess. Didn't know the Callahan was for sale but if it is, they are looking for more than $1k an acre.

Somebody had to want that place real bad to offer $1K per acre! That seems waaaaaaay high for that much of that kind of land!

when I read about the big boys selling, it leaves hollow feeling in the pit of my stomach

Trailboss, that land would probably be $1300 - $1900 an acre split up. It's obvious that the person who supposedly made the offer isn't hurting $$ wise.

My dad was terribly dissapointed this past Christmas, not to find the deed to the Waggoner in his stocking. Seems like she's on the block for 350 million or so...
