In the far Western reaches of the Trans Pecos region of Texas lies Sierra Blanca. The town itself was named after Sierra Blanca Mountain (Spanish for White Mountain), so named for the white poppies that grow there. This is a land of extremes with temperatures measured at a high 109 degrees to low of -10 degrees F. Average rainfall is around 11 inches and most of it falls as Monsoonal storms in the summer.
All of these seasonal and topographical extremes give way to some of the most majestic views in West Texas. Tucked just west of the Sierra Diablo Mountains and southwest of Guadalupe Mountains, the horizon gives way to stunning views on clear days. Sunrises and sunsets are majestic and the land itself is incredibly diverse.
Plants out there endure harsh conditions and have evolved to survive and thrive! This +/- 140 acres has the all the variety you would expect in that environment. Near camp is a level to gently sloping area that is mostly small mesquite and creosote bush. Creosote is super fragrant after a rain! You'll find pin cushion cactus, prickly pear, cholla, yucca, condalia and ocotillo! The lower elevations and drainages are home to the larger mesquites, ephedra, scattered little leaf sumac and Saltbush. The grass variety changes with the soil type and altitude.
One of the standout features of this property is the water trough! There's a large water storage tank that feeds into a trough. Water in the desert is a huge attractant for wildlife of all kinds and that makes this acreage special! If hunting or just viewing wildlife is your thing, this property has plenty of game! There's Mule Deer, Antelope, Javelina (Collared Peccary), Blue Quail, Jack Rabbits, Road Runners, and Coyotes, and myriad species of birds! The camp is a cleared area with modest camper and fire ring and provides a great view to the East.
It's rare to find acreage of this size in an area that is remote and yet accessible. If you're looking for a place to watch the stars, play, hunt, or just invest, this could be the property you've been looking for! There's also +/- 120 acres adjacent to this ranch that is listed separately but would make a great complement to this property.
