<h3>No. 24 Nunley Family</h3>
<p><em>301,500 acres</em></p>
<p>Representing the third generation of a respected ranching family, Richard and Bob Nunley founded Nunley Bros. Ranches in 1972. Today, their holdings are located in Texas and New Mexico, and include a large-scale cow-calf operation noted for its Santa Gertrudis herd. The family’s Running N Hunting Group offers trophy whitetail deer, pronghorn, mule deer, and dove hunts in South Texas and West Texas.</p>

<a href="http://www.bearislandland.com" target="_blank">www.bearislandland.com</a><br />
(218) 365-2800</p>
<p><strong>2012 Sales:</strong> < $50 Million</p>
<p><strong>Who:</strong> Focuses on the sale of recreational properties on the edge of the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness along the Minnesota-Canada border. Primarily deals in lake property, undeveloped shoreline, and timberland. Sister company Bear Island Surveying offers additional services.</p>
<p><strong>Noteworthy:</strong> Charlie Chernak is the owner, broker, and a licensed surveyor — the only such combination in Minnesota.</p>
<p><strong>Insight:</strong> “Our sales doubled in 2012, with movement in all types of properties,” Chernak says. “Sales of undeveloped backland that are being purchased primarily for deer hunting are still our bread and butter. Consumer confidence seems to be improving.”</p>
<p><strong>Pictured Above: </strong>This <a href="http://www.bearislandland.com/data3098.html" target="_blank">private year-round home on Farm Lake</a> is nestled on an extraordinary pine-studded, five-acre lot boasting 275± feet of level shoreline in Lake County, MN. As part of the White Iron Chain of lakes, this unique property is located on a very quiet and private part of the lake called the Farm Lake Narrows. </p>

<h3>No. 11 Ford Family</h3>
<p><em>625,000 acres</em></p>
<p>The family’s lumber company was founded in 1936 by Kenneth Ford, whose son, Allyn, is the current president and CEO. Now in its seventh decade, <a href="http://www.roseburg.com/" target="_blank">Roseburg Forest Products</a> is a Ford family-owned company that owns and operates sustainable forestland in Oregon and California. A substantial portion of this portfolio dates back to the 1996 acquisition of International Paper’s timberlands in Southwest Oregon. Roseburg utilizes biomass cogeneration and recycled tons of reclaimed wood into panels that sequester carbon. The company also plants millions of trees each year, has reduced its carbon footprint through vertical integration, and offers a wide selection of certifiably green building products. Over 175,000 acres of Roseburg timberland are certified by the Forest Stewardship Council.</p>

<p>Politicians in the drought-prone Lone Star State are duking it out over a possible $2 billion funding allocation to the Texas Water Development Board, an entity that is tasked with developing water-supply projects such as reservoirs and pipelines. Presently, the agency’s loan portfolio is at its highest level ever – $5.8 billion. According to supporters, a $2 billion injection from the Texas Rainy Day Fund could be leveraged into $27 billion in water-related infrastructure over the next 50 years. Critics contend that the requisite accountability isn’t in place.</p>

<h3>No. 6 Singleton Family</h3>
<p><em>1,110,000 acres</em></p>
<p>Headquartered at New Mexico’s famed San Cristobal Ranch just outside of Santa Fe, Singleton Ranches is nationally known as one of the country’s top cow-calf operations. Family patriarch Henry Singleton cofounded Teledyne with George Kozmetsky. Later in life he began acquiring ranches in New Mexico totaling 1 million deeded acres and 165,000 acres of state leases. His heirs continue this tradition and own and operate ranches in California, including the Peachtree and Top ranches in Salinas Valley and the River Island Ranch at the foothills of the Sierra Mountains. The Salinas Valley ranches were once part of the San Lorenzo Land Grant of 1842. Cowboys working those ranches still use the traditional riatas, bits, spurs, and tack of the legendary vaquero. </p>

<p>A depleted housing supply coupled with resurgent consumer demand has brought economic vitality to U.S. and Canadian forests. Thanks to a 40 percent rise in lumber prices, furloughed lumberjacks are being rehired and shuttered sawmills are coming back on line. “It’s a combination of new housing and repairs and remodels,” said Mark Pawlicki of Sierra Pacific Industries in an interview with the Los Angeles Times. California-based Sierra Pacific is a third-generation forest products company that is owned by the Emmerson Family, which <a href="http://www.landreport.com/2013/03/2012-land-report-100-emmerson-family/" target="_blank">ranked third on the 2012 Land Report 100</a> with holdings of 1.84 million acres. “The low interest rates for housing are helping. We are seeing an uptick in demand for windows, a lot of which go into remodels of homes,” said Pawlicki. </p>

<p>Located a short 45 minute drive south of Jackson Hole in western Wyoming’s wild and scenic ranch lies Riffles ‘n Rises Ranch. Comprised of 562 acres, the entire ranch affords magnificent views of the Salt River Range to the east, the Snake River Range to the north, and the Caribou Mountains to the west. The ranch enjoys approximately 1 1/4 miles of frontage on the Salt River, a productive, meandering fishery quietly known by locals as a trophy wild cutthroat and brown trout haven. In addition to the excellent fishing resource of the Salt, the ranch features several miles of improved spring creeks. </p>
<p><a href="http://www.landreport.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/RifflesWY2.jpg"><img src="http://www.landreport.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/RifflesWY2-300x225.jpg" alt="RifflesWY2" width="300" height="225" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-8778" /></a>The Riffles ‘n Rises Ranch enjoys a great fishing stretch of the Salt River. The classic trout water is present with good spawning gravel, great riffles, deep pools, and long dark runs below overhanging grassy banks. Resident trout grow up to 24” in length and trophy browns up to 31” migrate through the property each fall on their spawning run. Of the eight separate spring resources on the Riffles ‘n Rises Ranch, five have well-defined creek channels that wander across the ranch in various locations, providing a cumulative total of approximately 2 1/2 additional miles of moving water. The spring creeks on the ranch represent a tremendous opportunity for a fly angler to customize private fishing streams and aid the river system in the process. The existing premium waterfowl habitat makes the &#8220;cast and blast&#8221; a regular event on this property each fall.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.landreport.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/RifflesWY3.jpg"><img src="http://www.landreport.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/RifflesWY3-300x225.jpg" alt="RifflesWY3" width="300" height="225" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-8779" /></a>Riffles ‘n Rises Ranch is an incredible offering with a custom home, excellent fishing opportunities and spectacular views. The ranch home of approximately 3,800 square feet was originally built in the 1960&#8242;s and has been extensively remodeled in 2003. This property is flush with private water resources for fisheries and waterfowl habitat and is situated perfectly for the horse enthusiast to saddle up and ride in thousands of wilderness acres in nearby national forest lands. The Riffles ‘n Rises Ranch is a true sporting ranch possessing a rare, highly desirable combination of natural attributes for the northern Rockies ranch market.</p>
