ESCAPE TO A PLACE THAT TAKES YOU BACK IN TIME. Rarely does a West Texas ranch offer this combination of wildlife, water, privacy, and location. This exceptional 320-acre ranch in Cottle County is located in a region known for producing quality and trophy-class whitetail deer and shares approximately .5 mile with the 28,000-acre Matador Wildlife Management Area, creating an extraordinary wildlife corridor and a setting that feels far larger than its acreage.
The ranch features two producing windmills providing a continual water source, supporting both wildlife and ranch operations. A year-round wildlife feeding program enhances the property's already exceptional habitat, contributing to an abundance of wildlife including whitetail and mule deer, Rio Grande turkey, bobwhite quail, and other native species. The adjoining Matador Wildlife Area provides thousands of additional acres of habitat, further enhancing the ranch's wildlife appeal.
Rolling terrain, hardwoods, shinnery oak, and mesquite create the classic West Texas landscape. Additional features include quality fencing, county-road access, electricity along the west boundary, potential for additional wells, and a current AG exemption.
More than a hunting ranch, this is a private West Texas retreat and legacy property—a place to escape the pace of everyday life, reconnect with the land, watch unforgettable West Texas sunsets, and create memories that can be passed down for generations. Properties offering this combination of water, wildlife, adjoining habitat, and authentic West Texas character are increasingly rare.
