LOCATION: This solid value of a ranch is located about 25 miles SW of Rocksprings in western Edwards County, in a remote area highly prized by deer and turkey hunters. Access is via private, all-weather easement road 4 miles west of US 377. This easement is used by several adjoining ranchers, but there is no thru traffic, and traffic is normally light, picking up somewhat during hunting season.
Most supplies are found in Rocksprings, with everything else, including a hospital and commercial airport, found in Del Rio, which is about 40 miles south. World class fishing and recreation are abound in nearby Lake Amistad, with exciting Mexico less than one hour’s drive from the ranch. The area is dominated by large, tightly-held hunting and sheep/goat ranches, with a few scattered small tract subdivisions.
