This working cattle ranch is all about water with the Headquarters being located at a historic natural Cienega with large Cottonwood Trees, rich native grasses, and rolling hills. This was a stop on the Chihuahuan Trail and the name of the ranch was based on the huge herds of Antelope that once watered there. Antelope Springs Ranch ranges in elevation from 4,650 feet to 4,750 feet and has incredible views of Area Mountains including the Davis, Chinati, Cienega, Cathedral, and Elephant Mountains. This is as clean a ranch that you are going to find in the region with excellent fences, gates, barns, corrals, improvements, wells, troughs, roads etc. Antelope Draw and Joe Williams Draw run westerly and southwesterly through the ranch which creates a very nice rolling landscape.
