A glassed-in porch provides a night and day viewing of the prolific wildlife on the ranch that gathers around the feeder and water trough on the flat in front of the Hunters House.
Miles of good ranch roads make the entire ranch accessible.
Water:
There are five water wells equipped with two submersible pumps and three windmills. The water wells are spaced apart where livestock and wild game animals do not have to travel far to water. Numerous water troughs are on the ranch for game and livestock. Two miles of the west fork of the Nueces River bisects through the east part of the ranch. The West Nueces is a dry river bed, however, most of the time water remains in pools along the river bed. After heavy rains water flows along the river bed. At one time, the Kickapoo Indians lived on the ranch. Relics and arrowheads are scattered throughout the property.
Hunting:
The ranch is not leased for commercial hunting. There is an abundance of wild turkey, whitetail deer and axis deer, aoudad, Spanish goats, and mouflon sheep. It is not unusual to see whitetail, axis and wild turkey while driving around the ranch. A whitetail buck harvested from this ranch won the Edwards County big buck contest in 2008. Thirty-six whitetail deer from South Texas were released on the ranch four years ago. There are sixteen hunting blinds and feeders that remain with the sale of the ranch.

Research Parcel InformationLocation:
The Psalm XXIII Ranch is 2434 acres of some of the most beautiful land in the Texas Hill Country. Located approximately 18 miles southwest of Rocksprings, Texas on the west side of Highway 674 with over four miles of highway frontage. There are six entrance gates from the highway and many miles of interior roads. When one enters the north gate, they immediately drive past a huge pampered oak tree with its own piped water supply. Immediately ahead is the Rock House with a screened-in front porch. Only when one walks around the house to the rock patio, fire pit and free-standing fireplace with chimney, will one understand why the name Psalm XXIII Ranch. The view is a visualization of the most quoted chapter of the Bible. The two miles of river bed of the west fork of the Nueces River provide the still waters, the acres of green pastures bring restoration to the soul, and the valleys tie the stunning hills together. The birds and wildlife are abundant. There is nothing to fear. As one looks up on a clear night into the magnificent heavens, they will be aware of the evidence of the Creator.
