Lot 1

What Tract 1 does best is give a man room. Nearly 163 acres of ranch land for sale on the Pumpville Ranch Subdivision, out in western Val Verde County, in the canyon country beyond Del Rio where the old Sunset Route railroad once drilled its wells. This is a place to spread out and go unbothered. The ground is long and narrow, better than two and a half times as long as it is wide, so you can walk it end to end and feel every acre of it. Buy this for the space and the silence. That's the honest pitch.

The land rolls, but gently. It climbs about 65 ft from one side to the other, roughly 1,920 up to 1,985, and the rise is gradual enough that you'd hardly notice you were gaining ground until you turned and looked back. Down the east side, north to south, a run of brush and scrub gives the deer their cover and breaks up the open country. The rest lies open and workable. Power runs to the area, so if you mean to set up out here, we can show you where the line comes through and you can plan a build site off the high ground.

A creek runs close along the northeast, and right through the middle. It shapes the country around you and it's worth walking the line with us so you can see exactly where things sit. There's fence along the south side and the full east side, better than half the perimeter, though the recorded survey is what settles any boundary. Come see it before you take a word of that on faith.

This is western Val Verde County, the old Law West of the Pecos country around Langtry, where the land runs big and lonesome and stays that way. Restrictions are kept light and commerce is kept out, so the quiet you buy stays bought. Owner financing keeps the door open. Come stand out here in the cool of a fall morning and listen to how little you hear.
