Lot 6

Start at the fenced southern boundary of Tract 6 and let the shape of the tract explain itself. That fence is the one built edge here, roughly a quarter of the perimeter, and it gives you a straight line to sight from when you first step onto 43.93 acres of Alamo Ranch, ranch land for sale in Edwards County, Texas. Rock underfoot, most of the way. The rest of the perimeter is open cedar and grass with no built line to follow, so carry the plat and the pin locations when you go out, because the recorded survey is what governs every corner and we would rather you see it drawn than take anybody's word for it.

From that fenced corner, head east and the footing turns to stair-stepped limestone. Pale ledges curl around the slope in long bands, the kind of layered rock this part of the Texas Hill Country wears where the caprock has weathered back over a few thousand years, and between the bands there are pockets of soil holding live oak and cedar mottes. Those mottes matter in July. They are the only shade out there in the middle of a hot afternoon, and they are also where a bedded animal will be when you ease up on foot. Continue north and the tract loosens up considerably: grass thickens in the gaps, the rock lies flatter, and a UTV can pick a line through without much trouble.

Swing back west and the terrain settles into easier, more evenly grassed openings, the sort of spot where a set of tracks already reads as the natural route in. The whole tract climbs some 73 ft, from a low corner at roughly 2,136 ft to high land at about 2,209 ft. That is a working rise rather than a dramatic one, and I will not sell it as more than it is. What it buys you is drainage. Build on the upper end and weather sheds away from your slab instead of collecting at your feet, and you catch whatever breeze is crossing this tableland in August.

Graded caliche roads reach this part of the ranch and fork within sight of the tract's northern reach, which is where a drive would most sensibly turn in. How that access is deeded is set out on the plat, and we will go over it line by line with you before you sign anything. Power reaches the county road and various points through the ranch; we can show you where the nearest pole stands so you can confirm with the co-op what it would take to bring a meter to a home site.

• Fence on the southern boundary, roughly a quarter of the perimeter
• Layered limestone benches through the eastern portion, easier grassed openings west
• Caliche ranch roads reaching the northern reach of the tract
• Owner financing available with as little as 5% up front

Alamo Ranch covers 4,683 acres off Highway 55 and County Road 310, and this tract sits inside that larger sweep of rolling terrain, wide valleys and dry creek bottoms. Elk, turkey, dove and hogs travel this ranch, and the mottes and rock ledges on Tract 6 are exactly the kind of terrain they use when they cross from one draw to the next. Paid outfitting operations are not permitted on the ranch. Deed rules stay minimal, which means you can put up a barn, a cabin or nothing at all for a decade and nobody will push you.

Surveyed boundaries, straightforward paperwork, and financing carried by the owner with as little as 5% up front are how we sell every tract out here. Ask us how neighboring owners handle ag or wildlife valuation with the Edwards County appraisal district, and we will tell you plainly what we know and what you will need to confirm yourself. Wear boots with a stiff sole, because the ledges chew up soft ones. October is the best month to see it, when the heat breaks and the oaks still hold their leaves, and we will meet you at the fork and take you over the tract corner to corner.
