East Rim Ranch
South Hwy 118 : Alpine, TX 79830
Brewster County, Texas
Farm Description
East Rim Ranch, approx. 5671 surveyed acres. Just south of the Elephant Mountain Wildlife Managment area. Approx 4 miles of Hwy 118 frontage insure good access. Power runs thru the ranch ending at a newly equipped 25 GPM well. Elevations that run up to 4200'. Outstanding mountain views. Terrain is varied ranging from level soil areas to very hilly terrain in the limestone/shale hills with deep brushy draws that offer excellent cover for Desert Mule Deer, Javelina and Elk, which have been moving into the area the last 4 years. Good number of Blue Quail, and offers some excellent Dove hunting. Wet Weather Calamity Creek runs thru the ranch, there are several areas along the creek with trees that offer more cover and habitat for the local wildlife. Miles of new water lines have been run on the ranch, numerous dirt tanks are spread across the ranch, as well as a 20,000 gallon steel reservoir for water storage. Approx. 35 minutes from Alpine TX, the county seat in Brewster county. Alpine is home to Sul Ross State University, but still maintains a great small town atmosphere with good shopping from small locally owned stores. Big Bend National Park and Big Bend Ranch State Park are both within easy driving distance from the ranch. Ranch has not been hunted in almost 8 years. Water and game feeders are being constantly improved. We're seeing a lot more Mule Deer on the ranch now, and with continued game management the potential for this size ranch being a very nice hunting property will just keep improving.
