Copano Cove is a meticulously stewarded waterfront ranch comprised of 972.95 acres of conservation/recreational land in the Rockport area of the Texas Coastal Bend. This unique property is host to the “Copano Cove Conservation Area”, located in the southwestern section of Aransas County, along the Peet’s Bend region of Copano Bay, approximately 2.5 air miles northwest of downtown of Rockport. This distinctive ranch is ideally suited for a one-of-a-kind recreational retreat, hunting lodge or family compound.
The two parcels of land comprising the ranch each benefit from restorative conservation efforts and extensive management of the upland habitat and sprawling wetlands. Future allowable development includes two building zones on the conservation easement, plus an exclusion area of approximately 40 acres+/-, with additional possibilities for a waterfront dock, walking trails, caretaker quarters and lookout tower.
Located just outside the city limits of Rockport, a coastal community known for its art, nature, culture, fishing, hunting and history; approximately 185 miles from Houston, 190 miles from Austin/San Antonio and 30 miles from Corpus Christi.
Extensive fieldwork has been performed on the property including bird surveys to document spring migrations, breeding birds, and over-wintering species to conserve and improve the status of native terrestrial, freshwater, and marine birds, mammals, reptiles, amphibians, invertebrates, fishes, plants and plant communities.
Ducks Unlimited is party to a wetland development agreement on a portion of the property as part of the Texas Prairie Wetlands Project to foster waterfowl and migratory bird habitat. The property holds abundant resident and migratory birds/waterfowl, whitetail deer and excellent fishing on the sparkling shores of Copano Bay.
