Ex-NBA player owns 900-acre ranch in Central Texas

George Hill’s “Scenic Hills Ranch” is actually almost 2½ times the size of downtown Indianapolis where the 2024 NBA All-Star Weekend is taking place. The 15-year NBA veteran’s riches helped him purchase this vast land about 45 minutes from where he once played with the Spurs in San Antonio.

The long-bearded Drash, a Louisiana-bred sportsman, taught Hill how to shoot and break down a rifle, hunt wildlife and even make deer jerky on ranches in Texas Hill Country. Since then, Hill has hunted in Africa, Mexico and all over Texas. The heads of a hippopotamus, giraffe, bear and several other prized game Hill has hunted are now hanging in his garage of his home on the ranch.

“Mr. Drash showed me what it was to really live,” Hill said. “And ever since then, I was like, ‘Man, if I ever make enough money and [I am] fortunate enough, I want to own my own ranch, put in a trust and pass down to my kids to start a generational wealth type of thing. They always say most African American kids, when their parents or their grandparents die, they’re left with debt and not with equity.

“I don’t want to leave my kids in debt. I want to leave my kids with something that’s going to start generational [wealth]. Start them off better, and to a better career path. So, I’m going to own a ranch and I will put into my kids trust fund and it’s going to be a family ranch forever. So that’s how this came about. That’s how the whole ranch started.”
