Lot 14

Start at the west side of Tract 14 on the Alamo Ranch and follow the water. A creek channel enters there and works a long line clear to the southeast corner, close to 1,260 ft of it, with a shorter arm bending in toward that same corner. It's the kind of low seam that holds the shade and pulls wildlife through at first and last light. This is 35.1 acres of ranch land for sale in Edwards County, and the creek is the reason you'll stop here first. It won't run every month of the year, so plan to see it in more than one season and we'll show you what it does when you come.

Work your way up from the water and the land climbs. From the creek bottom the ground gains about 88 ft on its way across the tract, roughly 2,017 up to 2,105 ft, so you've got low, sheltered acreage where the trees are thickest and higher, drier bench above it for a set of buildings. Where you'd want to sit and look, we'll walk together, since the hills nearby ride high in this part of the state and the best outlook is something you feel out on foot, not off a page.

Most of this tract wears timber. Cedar and hardwood carry over better than three quarters of the ground, closing in tight along the creek and thinning as you rise. That much wood means bedding and browse, screening from a stand, and shade in July when the caliche roads shimmer. A cross fence cuts the property roughly east and west, about 920 ft of it, from the northwest corner over toward the east side, dividing the acreage into two natural pastures. Handy if you mean to rotate stock or keep a wildlife pen separate from your camp.

Getting onto the place is easy, and that matters more than folks think until they've fought a bad road. The approach here is straightforward, so hauling in materials, a trailer, or a load of feed won't test your temper. Electric runs through the ranch and along the roadway, which puts a hookup within reach for a cabin or a well pump. Confirm the service drop and the boundary lines with us and your title work, and we'll go over exactly where the survey sits before you sign a thing.

The Alamo Ranch lies 13 miles from Rocksprings off Highway 55, close enough to town for supplies and far enough out that the evenings go quiet. Whitetail and axis move through this stretch, along with elk, aoudad, and birds working the bottoms. Restrictions here are kept light, with no commercial operations allowed, so you keep the feel of your own place. Owner financing is on the table with as little as 5% down.

Walk it after a rain if you can, when the creek shows itself and the timber smells of cedar. Call us and we'll meet you at the gate.
