An oasis in the Texas Panhandle

In 1971, T. Boone Pickens purchased approximately 2,900 acres along the south side of the Canadian River in Roberts County, Texas. The only structural improvement on this property was a small corrugated metal livestock feed house, which Boone used as a shelter to stay warm while he was quail hunting.

Over the years, Boone began to assemble additional adjoining land positioned along the Canadian River corridor, and today the Mesa Vista Ranch comprises over 100 square miles of prime Eastern Texas Panhandle ranch land.

As Boone’s assemblage continued, he spent millions and millions of dollars to make Mesa Vista one of the best improved ranches in the United States.

The world’s best quail hunting

Dallas Morning News outdoors writer Ray Sasser calls Mesa Vista “the Wild West equivalent of a southern gentleman’s hunting plantation, arguably the finest quail hunting spot in the known universe.” During the past 25 years, Pickens transformed Mesa Vista into a model of conservation and habitat management that supports a prolific bobwhite quail population, a species under serious threat from changing agricultural practices and urban encroachment.

Mesa Vista’s unique combination of a pristine prairie-like environment and world-class amenities provide an unparalleled forum site for some of the nation’s most influential political and business leaders to share their insights on matters critical to our times — national security, economic policy, political involvement, philanthropic investment, and energy issues.
