Description:

Isolated ranch property located within the Caprock Canyons system. The hunting opportunities are unique with the wildlife that emerge from the canyon terrain. A 3,200 sqft house sits perched atop a mesa providing stunning views of the terrain surrounding it. There is a large metal barn, equipment shed, horse facilities, and pens for continuation of a cattle ranch. A large 35x35 garden has been planted next to the house for growing vegetables from spring through fall. Because the property is situated on the western edge of Caprock Canyons, the depth of the walls is shallower allowing for full access to the bottom of the canyon.

Water:

There is one windmill at the bottom of the canyon just behind the house with a water storage tank. There is a domestic well for the house and is connected to the pens and barn to the northeast of the house.

Hunting:

Brush cover and natural terrain are conducive to the wildlife in the area. Whitetail and mule deer, quail, turkey, bobcat, and wild goats can all be seen regularly on the ranch.

History:

The ranch has primarily been used for cattle grazing and as a main residence for the current owners. A portion of the Caprock Canyons Trailways runs through the property. In the early 1920s, Burlington Northern constructed a railroad as part of the Fort Worth and Denver South Plains Railway which was regularly used between Lubbock and Estelline until 1989. The Rails-to-Trails Conservancy acquired the line in 1992 and converted the railway into a walking path for Caprock Canyon hikers, bikers, and horse riders. Today, the path is used by visitors. However, the owner has only seen a few people using the portion that winds through the ranch.

Improvements:
