Lot 50

The thing you'll remember about Tract 50 on Alamo Ranch is the big caliche pit cut into it. A large open bowl in otherwise level terrain. This 65.05-acre tract of Hill Country ranch land for sale in Edwards County sits 13 miles from Rocksprings off Highway 55, and what it does best is give you a working, sheltered footprint you can shape to your own use. A private shooting lane down in the pit. A tucked-away spot to park a camper and stay a while. Whatever a man builds a plan around, this pit is where it starts.

Most of the tract lies flat and easy to work, which is rarer here than you'd think. The land lifts about 50 ft from one end to the other, a gentle grade from roughly 2,207 up to 2,257 ft, so nothing on it fights you when you drive it or build a pad. Through the middle you'll find a good stand of trees mixed with brush and scrub, thick enough to hold shade and screen a camp from the road, open enough to thread a truck through. The pit itself is your blank canvas, already dug, already level at the floor.

A seasonal creek cuts about 280 ft through the tract toward the south side. It won't carry water every month of the year, but after a good rain it fills the low ground and pulls game right through, and the brush along its path is where you'll set up if you're watching for movement at dusk. Rocksprings country holds whitetail, axis, elk, aoudad, turkey and dove, and this tract's mix of open bottom and wooded middle is the kind of edge those animals feed along. We'll show you where the tracks cross when you're out here.

Electric service runs nearby the county road and at points around the ranch, worth confirming with us for where it lands closest to this tract. Boundaries are surveyed, the restrictions are light with no commercial hunting allowed, and owner financing is available with as little as 5% down. Come in the cool part of the year, wear boots you don't mind getting dusty in the pit, and give us a call to set a time. We'll walk the property lines and stand above the caliche bowl so you can see what it'll hold.
