Quail Rise Ranch is the type of world-class deer and quail ranch that doesn’t come around often. Situated on 3,266± acres of topographic rich land just south of Seymour, this highly improved sporting paradise is being offered turnkey and has great cattle potential as well. Boasting the highest point in Baylor County and superb water features for the area, this ranch has undergone nearly two decades of intense land and wildlife management. The custom-built main residence is built on the side of a hill that overlooks a natural spring fed trophy fishing lake stocked with bass and hybrid striper. The highest point in Baylor County is located on the property and provides stunning panoramic views of the surrounding land and the Salt Fork of the Brazos River below. Approximately 1600 acres is under high-fence and has been meticulously managed for trophy white-tailed deer. The white-tailed genetics within the area were stocked from the ranch’s own world-class typical breeding operation that once inhabited the ranch. The ranch offers renowned quail hunting and is a recipient of the T Boone Pickens Award. Late outdoor legends such as Ray Sasser and Ray Murski were regular guests of the ranch in pursuit of some of the finest quail hunting in the state of Texas. This unique property was created with extreme attention to detail, has been meticulously maintained, and is a rare find. Location: The property is located 6.5 miles south of Seymour, TX, and 133 miles northwest of Fort Worth. The main entrance is off of US-183. The ranch has approximately 4.5 miles of frontage on HWY 183. Seymour Airport is 7 miles from the main entrance and can accommodate Turboprop and Mid-Size Jets. Seymour Airport is approximately a 26-minute flight from Dallas, TX. Habitat & Topography: The ranch offers a variety of mixed-use habitat within the Central Great Plains Ecoregion. The majority of the Prickly Pear Cactus has been removed for improved grazing and quail hunting. Numerous pastures have been cleared for grazing purposes and to open up the land in various areas. Multiple food plots are in place to supplement the white-tailed deer population. 72 miles of tilled strips have been installed for quail hunting. Native grasses are prevalent throughout and mature hardwoods are located along Millers Creek and Horse Creek, which both traverse the property. Extensive improvements have been made to the environment around the residence and in other areas of the ranch. The soils primarily consist of clay and clay loam. The main body of the ranch has approximately 174± ft in elevation changes and includes the highest point in Baylor County. The property has a good blend of cleared pasture for grazing and hunting, as well as sharp topography changes, which are most desirable in this geographical region for scenic views and hunting purposes. Wildlife, Hunting: This is one of the most celebrated quail ranches and prominent typical white-tailed deer ranches in the state of Texas. A premier management team has been in place for the past two decades and several studies have been performed on the wildlife to maximize results. A large portion of the ranch has been designated for only hunting and has not been grazed in 20 years. Quail - There are 82 quail feeders and ample water stations in place. An annual supplemented release program of 4000 +/- quail was in place for many years. These would consist of Bobwhites, Gambel’s, and Tennessee Red Quail. Approximately 2000 bushels of wheat were used to enhance the quail food source per year. Deer - A world-class Texas Animal Health Commission certified white-tailed deer breeding operation was in place until a few years ago. Custom breeding facilities were designed and built on site including 62 acres of 16 individual pens. The breeding program had been in existence for 17 years and never strayed from its goal to produce giant typical antler growth.

The property was transformed when William (Bill) Steding built a full polo facility and the house, used as his own, until he sold it in 2016. The polo played in North Texas in the late 1980s and 1990s is the type called high-goal — polo played at the highest level and by the best players in the world — with large crowds at the Willow Bend Polo Club in Plano, where The Shops at Willow Bend mall now sits. (The Willow Bend Polo Club is in Little Elm, today.) Steding was one of the major patrons at the time and played high-goal polo at Willow Bend. Most of the polo players used polo fields and farms in the Cross Roads/Oak Point area, where they kept their horses and trained and bred them. Ken Mayer, of Mayer Ranch Polo, even played a match on Steding’s field in 1993. Ken Mayer/Mayer Ranch Polo acquired the facility from Steding (in 2016) and started further development and expansion of the property, turning it into the premier polo facility in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. The United States Polo Association (USPA) has used the indoor arena for several interscholastic and Intercollegiate polo competitions, and is hosting the Texas College Polo Championship in November 2023 there, with plans to do so again in 2024. Mayer Ranch Polo is one of the cornerstones of the DFW Polo Association and Ken Mayer is its current president. By the end of 2023, there will have been 12 USPA tournaments run by this association, with most of the finals being played on the Mayer Ranch polo field. Residential Improvements: First impressions are key to a breathtaking ranch — and the Mayer Ranch Polo makes a stunning one. Driving through the beautiful, gated entrance at 1600 Historic Lane, with its lush oak-tree canopy, and up the long, 900-foot driveway to the house sets the stage. Along the way, a picturesque pond and horse pasture are on one side and a heavily wooded area is on the other. A welcoming circular drive and large covered porch announce the nearly 6,000-square-foot, custom-built home, designed in a Transitional contemporary style. The home was built in 1990 and extensively remodeled approximately five years ago. Large, custom double metal and glass doors invite you into the home, which is expansive and full of natural light — thanks to tall ceilings and the open floor plan — yet remarkably cozy, too. The home is well laid out, with various living areas both overlooking and accessing the pristine pool and patio areas. The living room, an adjacent sitting room and the dining room are at the front of the house and open to the large kitchen, den and bar. A hallway off sitting room and kitchen leads to the fitness rm.
