This unrestricted mountain ranch sits high above the Chihuahuan Desert at elevations ranging from approximately 5,600 feet to 6,400 feet and affords moderate year-round weather with pleasant summer temperatures. The property has an awe-inspiring view of Mt. Livermore and its baldy peak (the tallest peak in the Davis Mountains) as well as the Sierra Viejo Mountains to the west, the Del Nortes and the Glass Mountains to the southeast, and the Chinati Mountains to the southwest with Mexico beyond. The property is secluded by natural land boundaries, large ranches and conservation tracts. It has the potential to be a conservation tract with tax benefits.
Habitat
This inside the scenic loop ranch on the south slopes of Mt Livermore
is dominated by mile high grasslands and woodlands of the Davis Mountains.
Cane Bluestem, Blue Gramma, and Sideoats Gramma with diverse native Emory
Oaks, Gray Oaks, and Mexican Walnut provide some of the best Mule Deer and wildlife
habitat in the area. It has spectacular protected mountain views, seasonal creeks, rolling hills and a beautiful grassy valley interspersed with oaks and junipers.
Wildlife
The property boasts abundant wildlife, including mule deer, aoudad sheep, mountain lion,
javelina and quail. Big mule deer, blue quail, and dove populations are tremendous and
create great hunting opportunities. Native brush and grasses provide excellent habitat for
these game species and many native birds and other non-game animals.
Improvements
There is a good pasture road access up to the highest elevations of the ranch and down Bat
Cave creek. Outside the spring water system, fences, and roads, there are no other
improvements. There are numerous outstanding building sites both along the creek or high
up on the mountain with excellent views.
Water
Box Springs is the most unique feature of the property with very shallow groundwater along Bat Cave Creek which is captured in a hand dug rock lined well where water gravity flows to a large rock storage tank where it is distributed for wildlife. There is a new well drilled next to this spring and is capped waiting for a pump to distribute water further or to be used for new headquarters once built.
