Terrain on the 104 surveyed acres is varied ranging from level to slightly rolling with some
very nice brushy arroyos crossing thru the land. Several of these have excellent areas to
build some dirt stock tanks to catch runoff during the rainy season. Ponds on the property
would not only provide extra water for livestock but would help provide more habitat for the
local wildlife which include Desert Mule Deer, Blue Quail, Javelina and other small wildlife
and birds.
Desert fauna on the property comprises of typical desert plants like Ocotillo, Yuccas, Prickly
Pear, White Brush etc.
On the west end of the property a long road runs from north to south with berms at each end,

Approx. 1 hours drive from Big Bend National Park, Big Bend Ranch State Park, Lajitas Golf
Resort, the historical Terlingua Ghost Town and home to the famous chili cook off at the CASI
location just west of the Ghost Town.
The two parks combine for over a million acres of beautiful high desert views with the
National park encompassing the Chisos mountains. Some of the most scenic views and
terrain in West Texas are found in these two parks.
Miles and miles of horse trails within easy trailering distance in Big Bend Ranch State Park.
