On the Market: Sonora Luxury Ranch Resort with Private Airport Seeks New Owner

 

SONORA, TX — The JL Bar Ranch, Resort & Spa in Sonora, a 4,610-acre luxury destination complete with its own private airport, remains on the market and is seeking a qualified buyer.

Tucked into Sutton County, the award-winning property has hosted thousands of guests annually and is known for offering an upscale, uniquely Texan experience.

Developed by James B. Archer, the resort sits on a working 13,000-acre ranch and features high-end lodging, fine dining, a full-service spa, guided safaris, and trophy game hunting. Guests can stay at the JL Bar Main Lodge, the Lonesome Creek Lodge, or Archer’s private ranch residence, known as Archer’s Nest.

One of its standout amenities is a fixed-base operator (FBO) airport, where guests can fly in and arrive at the bar within minutes. The hangar doubles as a private concert venue, having hosted names like Garth Brooks and Aaron Watson.

The sale is being handled by Icon Global and is limited to pre-qualified buyers. The price remains undisclosed.

"At JL Bar, your blood pressure's gonna go down when you get here because you're gonna relax, feel at home and welcome here, at the same time getting to experience the golden nature of a working ranch," Archer said in an Icon Global video.
