Lot 25

Western Val Verde County is the far country of Texas, where the map thins out and the land takes over. This is the ground beyond Del Rio, in the Pecos region, where a railroad stop called Pumpville faded into a ghost of itself and left the silence behind. Tract 25 sits in the middle of that stillness, 132.25 acres of ranch land for sale on the Pumpville Ranch Subdivision. Big skies. Long horizons. Room to breathe.

What you'll remember about this place is the mound. It stands up on one corner of the tract, a rise of ground that reads from a distance and gives the eye something to hold. Walk to the top and you'll want to catch your breath and look around. From there the ground falls off and rolls the rest of the tract, gaining roughly 117 ft in all as it works from about 1,980 ft up to 2,097 ft. That kind of relief means high ground and low ground both, places where a camp might sit and draws where the country gathers.

A dirt ranch road already comes onto the place, about 1,350 ft of it working through the western part of the tract. That's your way in and around without cutting fresh track through the brush, and it saves a new owner the first hard job of getting to the good spots. The land isn't heavy with cover. Most of it lays open, with a modest run of scrub and thorny growth working the ground, the sort of low brush that holds deer and gives them a place to bed in the heat.

The practical bones of the tract are straightforward. A cross fence crosses the ground, running from the eastern edge over to the southwest corner, close to 3,310 ft of wire that splits the place into two pastures. That's a working feature, a way to hold stock on one side while you rest the other, or to keep a hunting side apart from a camp side. As always, the recorded survey and title work govern where the lines actually fall, and we'll walk them with you when you're out.

This is deliberate land, sold as a surveyed tract with light restrictions and commercial operations kept off the ranch, so the peace you buy holds. Owner financing keeps it within reach, as little as 5% down. Come in the cool part of the year, wear boots that can take rock, and give yourself the afternoon. We'll take you up the mound and let the country make its own case.
