Senior Vice President
My company was faced with the unlikely task of purchasing property in rural Texas. Our company is 164 years old and has always tried to open workshops in the countryside just as our founder did when he opened his first workshop outside of Paris in 1860. This was a first for me. Although I am a native Texan, I had no experience as to how to approach this. I have to say that I became the luckiest guy in the world the day I called Hortenstine Ranch Company. Casey Berley and Cash McWhorter jumped into this task with all four feet. Within two months, not only had we found a property that everyone loved, we had negotiated the terms and conditions. In May of 2019, we will open a 100,000 square foot workshop south of Ft. Worth and will be employing well over 250 Texans. We could not have done it without Casey and Cash and Hortenstine Ranch Company.

As a Founder and Owner of a growing business, it's been very very refreshing to work with Chance and Cash and the entire team at Hortenstine Ranch Company. Not only are they extremely knowledgeable about the area...they also know a TON about the entire ranch ecosystem and were able to navigate me through one of the largest purchases of my life. This will be a process that affects my family for decades to come and they were very thoughtful and helpful in educating me on the industry and specific properties. I look forward to working with them for years to come!

A search for the perfect ranch can be a long and frustrating process, especially when searching for a ranch that meets both strict criteria and stays within a specified budget. As someone who does not have a lot of free time, I needed a broker who could provide candor, efficiency, and respect for my time. When my family decided to look for a ranch three years ago, we chose Cash McWhorter. He began by providing us with an extensive list of ranches currently on the market, along with his detailed thoughts of why each ranch may or may not meet our criteria. We were able to tour several ranches in a short amount of time. At the conclusion of our first set of tours, we were told not to get discouraged, as purchasing a ranch is a process. A process, that due to Cash’s vast knowledge, in-depth insights, and enduring patience, was effortless and enjoyable for both me and my family. His comprehensive land knowledge, extensive real estate experience, and ability to provide us with a detailed ranch improvement plan with a corresponding budget were absolutely priceless. With his unmatched service, he has also remained available after the transaction for assistance with guidance in the completion of our ranch improvements, ensuring maximum resale potential. After working so closely with Cash for an extended period of time, I can say that he is not only my broker, but he is now my friend and a part of our family. For anyone looking to buy or sell a ranch in Texas or Oklahoma, it is my pleasure to give my highest recommendation to Cash McWhorter and Hortenstine Ranch Company.

Landowner
When I decided to sell my ranch, I interviewed several ranch realtors. I was impressed with Hortenstine Ranch Company LLC, Dallas, particularly with owner Blake Hortenstine and partner Cash McWhorter. I could tell these were ranch-savvy guys who understand what investments add value and which are not likely to have much of a payoff. There were some things I needed to do on the ranch in order for me to pocket the most money with the sale. I was comfortable that they wanted to help me get the most value from our sale and not just have me spend money with no return. We drew up a list of improvements and prioritized what absolutely needed to be done, what would be nice to do and what I could do without. It was a real business process. I was not just throwing darts on the wall. What I appreciated about Blake and Cash is that they did not try to tell me what I wanted to hear but what I needed to hear. In fact, they talked me out of some investments that they did not think had the potential for a major payoff. With their help, I was able to sell my land for $400 an acre above the previous high bid for the ranch.

My wife and I were in search of a combination hunting ranch/weekend get-a-way so contacted Cash McWhorter with Hortenstine Ranch Company. I found the team at HRC to be very diligent and professional. They took the time to understand what we were looking for and what we could afford to spend. We ultimately found “the place”, which was made up of four different contiguous properties, three of which were for sale and one that was not, making it a very complex transaction. Dealing with four different sellers certainly had its challenges, but the team at HRC helped us navigate through the process, knowing when to push and when to be patient. We got all four deals closed and we could not be happier. The knowledge and expertise of the HRC team proved to be invaluable in our search for a ranch property. I highly recommend you give them a call. Not only will you be delighted with their work product, I bet you make some friends for life.

Hortenstine Ranch Company Contributed to the Sale of the Largest Private Lake in the United States and Continues to Set New Benchmarks in the Farm and Ranch Real Estate Market Original Article posted by PR Newswire.  No One Sells Large Bodies of Water Quite Like Hortenstine Ranch Company DALLAS and FAIRFIELD, Texas, Feb. 7, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Hortenstine Ranch Company (HRC), a Texas-based brokerage company specializing in ranch and recreational properties, is an expert in the sale of big bodies of water. Property after property, the company's sales often include extensive and beautiful water features, unlike any other offerings on the market. One of HRC's most recently sold properties, Fairfield Lake, made the brokerage company a key contributor in the sale of this one-of-a-kind offering. Ideally located about one and a half hours away from downtown Dallas and North Houston, Fairfield Lake is the largest undeveloped private lake in the U.S. At the heart of the unique, approximately 5,025-acre property is an estimated 2,400-acre body of clear water surrounded by an estimated 30-plus miles of elevated shoreline blanketed with a mature hardwood forest. This spectacular recreational lake is recognized as a top fishing lake in Texas. The sale of Fairfield Lake closed on June 1, 2023. The asking price was $110 million. The nationally recognized and award-winning development firm Todd Interests was the buyer. Hortenstine Ranch Company, LLC represented the seller in the complex transaction and consistently sets new benchmarks in the farm and ranch real estate market, leveraging decades of experience in the industry. "We are thrilled to see this once-in-a-lifetime property in the hands of Todd Interests. This one-of-a-kind opportunity is ideally suited for their new Freestone Club and its exclusive offering of private lakeside living with resort amenities and world-class golf course," said Cash McWhorter, partner and broker at Hortenstine Ranch Company. Hortenstine Ranch Company is an expert in selling expansive water-centric real estate that you just do not see so often in the U.S. anymore, as it has become increasingly more difficult to forge new large water features. However, HRC has recently contributed to the sales of Valley Lake Ranch in Bonham, Texas, Lake Creek Ranch in Riesel, Texas, and River Crest Ranch in Bogata, Texas. The water features on these properties were once the largest undeveloped, permitted private lakes sold in the U.S. until HRC continued to break its own records with the recent sale of Fairfield Lake. -Valley Lake Ranch, part of Fannin County and sold in 2021, is approximately 2,245 acres and consists of a massive lake yielding about 1,080 surface acres of pristine water. -Lake Creek Ranch, part of McLennan County and sold in 2020, is about 1,833 acres and includes an approximately 550-acre lake set amongst scenic rolling terrain, heavily wooded in oak and elm forests. -River Crest Ranch, part of Red River County and sold in 2022, is approximately 1,375 acres and encompasses a lake of about 550 acres. The new year will bring exciting projects for the company including new listings featuring significant water features. One such property boasts what is believed to be the largest privately owned lake in Texas's Erath County, spanning approximately 100 surface acres. Nestled amidst the rolling terrain of the Cross Timbers region, these pristine private waters offer a thriving trophy bass fishery, a waterfowl hunters' paradise, and a personal watercraft playground. "We're extremely honored and excited to bring this one-of-a-kind property to the market. It possesses features that are simply unmatched in the area", says Bret Polk, broker associate with Hortenstine Ranch Company and longtime Erath County resident. Stay tuned for more details. HRC knows the land in Texas has a lot to offer and focuses a majority of its business on the state. The vast and diverse landscapes of Texas offer an unparalleled beauty that captivates affluent buyers seeking exclusive legacy ranches.

The 2021-2022 duck/goose season was a grind for many hunters in the South. The pattern for the last three seasons has been off, and this year was no different. November and December were warmer and dryer than what it takes to attract and hold waterfowl. Drought conditions that began late summer continued to persist through the winter. Some areas even appeared to be as dry as the 2011-2012 drought. For most waterfowlers seeking larger puddle ducks, reasons to even go hunting for the first two months of the season were slim. I’ve made or heard all the excuses an avid waterfowler can make: too much water, not enough water, cold too fast then warm the rest of the winter, no food, too much food and they won’t migrate, not enough ducks, reverse migration, and the list continues. However, I have never heard a waterfowler say there is an excess of ducks. Having said all of that, special hunts are just that - because everything needs to come together just right: conditions, birds, habitat, food, cold fronts, wind, sunshine, scouting, and being in the right place at the right time to take advantage of it all. Hunts like the one I experienced for the finale of the 2022 season don’t happen often. Many times, it may just be good fortune, in the right place at the right time, or paying our dues for spending time in the field. The opportunity to harvest a limit of greenheads is undoubtedly special, but January 27, 2022 worked out to be extraordinary. I invited a pledge brother from Baylor and his youngest son, Holt, to join us, along with my 20-year hunting partner, Charles. It was a mid-week hunt, but Holt did not mind missing school, and it proved to be worth skipping on that day! We were hunting in layout blinds over what most would call a stock pond or cattle pond. Waterfowlers call them “staging ponds” due to ducks congregating on varying ponds based on surrounding food sources and pressure in their eating pattern. There is no food in these ponds or reason for ducks to be there other than being part of a larger pattern. In this case, we chose this pond because ducks had been assembling there all week before going to an adjacent field to eat. Unlike a typical morning hunt, we didn’t get set up until 3 PM. The area had less than one inch of rain in the past six months, but there was a chance of snow showers. We were hoping it would snow, but expectations were meager due to the lack of recent moisture. Much to our delight, we had a few ducks work in as soon as we got set up, and shortly after, a light snow shower began along with the right amount of wind. The snowfall picked up, and the harder it snowed, the better the ducks worked. It is worth noting that many waterfowlers dream of hunting mallards in certain places and conditions. Some may say it’s hunting flooded green timber, or in a tower blind between two bald cypress trees, or pit blinds over a flooded field. To me, the opportunity to harvest waterfowl during a snow event is as good as it gets. As the snowfall increased and continued to blanket the parched landscape, larger groups of ducks continued to work into the staging pond the rest of the afternoon. The initial volley (shown in the video) was a spectacle to see. It doesn’t take many groups of ducks like the ones we witnessed to have a spectacular hunt. One of our challenges, not a bad problem to have, was birds continued to work in while we were trying to retrieve downed waterfowl. After the initial retrieve and setting back up, we had another large group work into the snow-dusted decoys.   As the sun began to set and the snow-covered decoys began to lose their believability, the ducks continued to pour into the neighboring cut milo field while we reflected on a hunt to be remembered for years to come. The close of the hunt was the end of a lackluster season, but it was a hunt to remember for a long time. I am delighted that my friend, Heath, and his son, Holt, got to experience something so memorable. He is spoiled now, and he will be chasing that hunt for the next decade or maybe a lifetime.

AFTER PRESIDENTIAL VISIT, HORTENSTINE RANCH COMPANY REFLECTS ON WORK WITH LOUIS VUITTON TO ACQUIRE FIRST U.S. RANCH PROPERTY FOR LEATHER WORKSHOP Hortenstine Ranch Company hired for unique property transactions requiring utmost discretion and professionalism Hortenstine Ranch Company (HRC) represented Louis Vuitton in acquiring the 260-acre Rockin’ Z Ranch in Keene, Texas for a new leather workshop. Renamed the Rochambeau Ranch, the $50 million facility received national attention on Thursday, October 17th when President Trump joined in its grand opening to highlight the administration’s efforts to create U.S. manufacturing jobs. HRC’s role in the project, and the project itself, had received little attention until the presidential visit, a testament to our company’s ability to discreetly serve clients with unique needs and requirements. “Louis Vuitton is one of the world’s most iconic and well-known brands so we were ecstatic when they selected Hortenstine Ranch Company to represent them in their efforts to purchase a Texas property for their new leather manufacturing facility,” said Cash McWhorter, Broker/Partner, Hortenstine Ranch Company. “However, we absolutely could not share the news at the time, thus demonstrating the trust Louis Vuitton had in us to represent the brand properly, and confidentially, in what would be their first ranch property acquisition in the U.S.” Hortenstine Ranch Company Broker, Casey Berley, ALC added “Seeing this team effort come to fruition, and create hundreds of jobs in North Texas, makes it especially satisfying knowing that we were able to play a small role in the project.” Berley and McWhorter represented Louis Vuitton in the transaction and were honored to attend the ribbon cutting ceremony with the President and special guests.
