Program Overview
Texas Hunting Land Loans
Texas hunting land is priced on habitat, water, and game quality far more than on soil productivity. South Texas brush country whitetail ranches trade at values a conventional appraisal approach rarely supports, which is why land-focused lenders matter here.
Hill Country tracts blend recreational value with rural residential demand, while East Texas Pineywoods acreage carries timber value that can be credited as supporting collateral.
High-fence operations, exotics, water wells, and hunting lease income are all treated as real value drivers by the lenders we work with rather than being written off.

Frequently Asked
Texas Hunting Land Loans FAQ
Can I finance a high-fence hunting ranch in Texas?
Yes. High fence, water wells, feeders, and lodging are typically financed with the acreage; value is allocated between improvements and land at appraisal.
Does hunting lease income help a Texas land loan?
Documented lease income can improve leverage and pricing, though most recreational tracts are still underwritten primarily on borrower income and collateral value.
What down payment do Texas hunting land lenders require?
Generally 20–35%, with larger ranch profiles often at 25–40% depending on size, water, and improvements.
