About this home
The best of the West Texas Hill Country! The recreational attributes of the CKS Ranch are truly unmatched with over 400 feet of elevation change on the property, exclusively including the historic East Peak with an elevation marker proving it as one of the highest peaks in the region. There are improved roads providing easy access up and down over 3.5 miles of private mountainsides.
Water: There are two working water wells, several ponds, one of which is reportedly 25 feet deep and stocked with fish, one is spring fed maintaining water levels throughout the year, and one covering over 5 acres when full. The house has a water meter with Blair Water Supply Corp.
Hunting: The hills of the CKS Ranch are teeming with whitetail deer, Rio Grande Turkey, Bob White quail, and wild hogs. The secluded nature, water, and native brush of this ranch make the perfect habitat for these native species. The abundant surface water of the ranch also make for excellent dove and duck hunting.
Fishing: The pond nearest the house is reportedly stocked full of catfish, perch, and bass.
Ag Improvements: Low fence perimeter fencing and interior fenced into 5 separate pastures to facilitate rotational grazing, cattle guards provide easy access from pasture to pasture, approximately 100 acres were seeded with a mixture of improved grasses and wildflowers with excellent stands, and centrally located livestock pens.
Structural Improvements: The Headquarters includes a 2,791 SF, 4 bedroom residence, with an attached garage, 9 ft inground swimming pool, hot tub, and pavilion with a commercial kitchen and restroom. The yard surrounding the residence is landscaped and has a sprinkler system which runs off one of the wells. There is a 1,080 SF metal barn as well as an 800 SF livestock barn attached to the pens.
Many Equipment items present can be purchased separately.
