20 miles E. of Sanderson, TX - Terrell County

DESCRIPTION: This unique end of the road ranch can be best described as a classic, historical, ruggedly beautiful West Texas hunting, ranching and recreation ranch. It has a multitude of desirable characteristics that will make it highly attractive to certain buyers. Specifically, it is only a short fifteen mile drive to Terrell County Airport with its 4,525 foot asphalt lighted runway and only a 30 mile drive to the county seat town of Sanderson with its restaurants, shopping, motels, food and feed stores. Access to the ranch is easy via U.S. hwy 90, and State hwy 349, and then 7.5 miles of good all weather gravel/caliche road to the ranch entry gate. The ranch headquarters, comprised of two modern cabins, a large garage and a water well is located 1.6 miles inside the ranch entry gate. Privacy is assured as there are no public roads through or adjacent to the property. There is a good (rough in spots) all weather internal ranch road system. Surface elevations vary from a low of 1,700 feet to a high of 2,066 feet. This 366 foot elevation variation provides awesome views of the surrounding area and the distant mountains across the Rio Grande River in Mexico. Meyers Canyon run through the middle of the ranch for 5 linear miles, Big Canyon runs along 3 miles of the east boundary line and a smaller canyon that gives birth to the famous Meyers Springs where all the pictographs are located give this ranch more than its fair share of character. There are numerous wide valleys and flat plateau areas with deeper soils, good grasses and heavy tree/brush cover. Many acres of the land are compatible for creating wildlife food plots. The ranch is exceptionally well watered

by several springs including the Meyers Springs complex with its dam and lake, two earthen stock ponds, a header dam, and two windmill wells, each having associated water storage reservoirs and water distribution systems for gravity flow water troughs. The windmill well at the headquarters pumps first into a large enclosed water reservoir for household use and the surplus overflows into a giant above ground concrete water reservoir. Water from the wells is potable and of excellent quality and quantity. The spring water us used by wildlife and livestock. All perimeter fences are low sheep and goat proof fences. The trees, brush, weeds, forbs, and grasses found on this ranch provide outstanding habitat for wildlife, particularly deer and blue quail. There is a diversity of natural wildlife feed available on this property. The excellent tree/brush cover includes mesquite, juniper, lechuguilla, black brush, algerita, cenizo, guajilla, sotol, rosin, guayacan, ochotilla, Spanish dagger, century plants, greasewood, prickly pear and miscellaneous brush. Grasses found on the ranch include black grama, blue grama, sideoats grama, hairy grama, chino grama, bluestem, green sprangletop, sand dropseed, and fall witchgrass. Weeds and forbs include tallow, mellow, California filaree, Texas filaree, deer tongue and rat ear. There is an existing 3,000 foot sod airstrip located just southwest of the headquarters that will handle single engine and/or small twin engine planes. If so desired, the topography in this area is ideally suited for construction of an 8,000 foot airstrip with very little additional earthwork being required. This runway length would handle anything from a piper cub to a Learjet to a Boeing 747. An airstrip in said location could be correctly oriented on a 170/350 degree heading for the prevailing winter/summer winds. It is acknowledged this ranch is priced above your typical Terrell County land, but if you have an interest in the things offered by this conversation piece ranch, the odds are that if you inspect it you will want to own it.
