Lot 5

Two hills anchor this tract on Alamo Ranch, one riding the corner from southwest to southeast and another standing along the center of the west line, and between them the land settles into a low draw that runs clear to the north where it meets our road. That is 39.36 acres of Hill Country ranch land for sale in Edwards County, Texas, 13 miles south of Rocksprings off Highway 55. Walk it and you read the country in its shape: high ground on the flanks, a wide valley bottom pulling through the middle, and the kind of elevation change that makes a piece of land feel bigger than its acreage. The north end carries thicker brush, good cover that holds game, and as you move south and west that brush thins and opens the ground up.

A power line crosses the middle of the tract running east to west, and electric already runs near the county road and at points across the wider ranch. That puts service within reasonable reach when the time comes to set a cabin or a camp house up on one of those rises, where you would catch the light coming across the valley and the quiet that comes with country this far from town. You will want to confirm your own hookup, along with any well and septic plans, with the providers, but the framework is here to build on.

This is genuine Hill Country around Rocksprings, a stretch of Edwards County long known for its wildlife. Whitetail and axis deer work these draws, along with aoudad, elk, turkey, dove, and hogs, and the mix of thick northern cover and open southern ground gives them room to move and gives you room to watch. Rocksprings sits a short drive north, close enough for supplies and a meal yet far enough that the land stays secluded. San Antonio is a couple of hours southeast when you need the city, which is part of what makes country like this work for a weekend hunting camp, a place to retire to, or ground to hand down.

The tract is surveyed with deeded access on our road, held under light restrictions with no commercial hunting, so you know what your neighbors can and cannot do. Owner financing is available with as little as 5 percent down and notes running up to 30 years, which keeps the door open without a bank in the middle. Come walk it, stand on one of these hills, and see how the valley falls away below you.
