Barksdale, TX 78828 - Real County

This stellar live water offering lies about one mile off paved RR 335 (top five motorcycling routes in Texas) on all-weather Hackberry Road, which crosses the ranch on the far southern section. It is blessed with two different, both-sides owned, frontages on the hard-flowing East Nueces River, just below the headwater springs at Camp Eagle. This is some of the most pristine and scenic land in all of the Texas Hill Country, featuring dramatic limestone bluffs, 30+ mile vistas and lush bottoms of oak/pecan dotted with Indian sites. The water is crystal clear and spring-fed, with noisy falls tumbling into fern-lined pools, amidst scenery that borders on the surreal. A nice, but not fancy, compound of log cabins comfortably sleeps 10-12, and outbuildings adequately service the year-round hunting operations for the owners staff and clients. As many know, this area is noted for the quantity and quality of axis deer, Rio Grande turkey and aoudad sheep, and a well-known outdoors hunting show shot an episode on the ranch recently. Most of the ranch consists of steep hillsides covered in cedar, Spanish oak, live oak and shrubs, with only about 25% of the acreage being flat or gentle. A scenic spring lies in the center of the ranch in an exquisite setting, flowing over solid rock for 100 yards or so before settling into the gravel.
