This magnificent rustic venue sits on a historical 900 acre ranch surrounded by towering oaks and South Texas mesquite. The history of the Skipper Ranch goes back to the 1930’s when Texas oil tycoon B.A. Skipper built his charming elegant hacienda that still remains as the jewel of the ranch. It was this hacienda that was the inspiration that lead to the creation of our dream come true, The Grand

Hacienda at Skipper Ranch. The Grand Hacienda is a 9,000 square foot climate controlled venue with a ceiling covered with imported Purple Heart cedar and pillars of Austin stone. At one end you will find a towering majestic fireplace and at the other a mesquite hand carved bar that is second to none. The grand stage has the space for a full piece band that can serve to entertain you and your guests as you dance the night away on the dance floor. The capacity of this beautiful venue is for a party up to 500. There is also a beautiful 10,000 square foot fully landscaped courtyard attached to the venue that can serve to accommodate your ceremony as you walk down the aisle lined with lovely shrubs to the charming gazebo at the end. This picturesque courtyard can also serve for your cocktail hour as your guests linger and enjoy the sights of South Texas ranch land. There are also several locations throughout the ranch that can serve as charming backdrops for your dream ceremony. For nearly 100 years, the historical Skipper Ranch has been privately owned and not available to the public...BUT NOW IT IS! Although it is still a secluded family owned ranch, it is now available to be the exquisite venue for your dream wedding!

We are proud to announce that Skipper Ranch will be doing fresh water Cast N’ Blast this dove season.

This is a 4+ man 8 hour dove hunt at our 6 acre lake located in the Skipper Ranch. Plenty of dove flock to our lake year round to enjoy the breeze from the lake making it a hot spot during season. Our lake is stocked with bass, tilapia, catfish and carp (catch and release) and is constantly being pumped with well water, making it crystal clear. The “Peninsula” palapa area provides all the amenities you’ll need to relax and bbq after your hunt.

Hunt starts at $125 a hunter (min. of four hunters) and $25 for any extra guest not hunting. We can accommodate to any needs or requests you may have.

Call or text us at 956-588-7741 for available dates.
