#4 on the LR 100

Kroenke Ranches is taking bold new steps on Texas’s WAGGONER RANCH by adopting a holistic approach to the ecological management of the historic 560,000-acre ranch’s significant wildlife resources. The primary land-management techniques currently being employed by the Wildlife Division are targeted specifically at quail and white-tailed deer habitats. Since Stan Kroenke purchased the Waggoner Ranch in February 2016, brush management has been performed on more than 150,000 acres of the 875-square-mile landholding. This comprehensive management philosophy has served to promote populations of native grasses and forbs and to enhance habitat diversity on the largest single ranch under one fence in the Lone Star State.

The most recent addition to the Kroenke Ranches portfolio is CAÑON BLANCO RANCH, an 80,892-acre operating cattle ranch located less than 30 minutes from New Mexico’s capital city, Santa Fe. Situated on the southwest flank of Glorieta Mesa between the Sandia and the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, Cañon Blanco Ranch is a combination of 62,395 deeded acres, a 16,105-acre New Mexico state lease, and 2,392 acres of Bureau of Land Management-leased land.

Numerous enhancements were incorporated by the previous owners, including the acquisition of adjacent landholdings and the construction of a 14,000-square-foot hacienda designed by Thomas Beeby, chairman emeritus of Hammond, Beeby, Rupert, Ainge Architects in Chicago. On its eastern flank, Cañon Blanco borders the 1.6-million-acre Santa Fe National Forest. Jeff Buerger of Hall and Hall had the listing.
