Lot 2

No town noise carries out this far, and that is exactly what you are buying on these 205.68 acres of ranch land for sale on the Pumpville Ranch Subdivision, in western Val Verde County. This is canyon country in the Pecos River region beyond Del Rio, the empty stretch the railroad passed through and then left to the wind. What it lacks is the point. You come out here for the absence of everything else.

Water moves through it. A creek runs about 2,350 ft across the middle of the tract, cutting a line through country that mostly stays dry, and it carries in the wet season the way creeks in this canyon country do. Walk it after a rain and you'll see where the game crosses. There's a stock tank on the place too, and we'll show you where it sits and how it holds when you come out. The ground rolls easy, only about 38 ft of fall from one end to the other, so nothing here is a struggle to get around.

Brush and scrub cover roughly three quarters of the tract, thick through the middle where the deer bed down and the quail hold. That cover is what makes this hunting country. An existing dirt ranch road, about 1,530 ft of it, runs along the east part of the tract and gives you a way in toward the interior without cutting fresh trail. There's fence along the east side. The rest is open to the country around it, which out here means miles of the same.

The tract is sold as a surveyed piece with light restrictions, and commercial operations are kept out, so the quiet stays quiet. Owner financing is available, with straightforward terms. Come in cool weather, wear boots you don't mind soaking at the creek crossing, and we'll walk you from the dirt road down to the water and let the silence make its own case.
