Recreational Land & Farm for Sale in Rocksprings, Texas
7800 County Road 450 Rocksprings, TX 78880
115+/- total acres located at the "Dove Creek Ranch" section of the original historic Newby Ranch. The total acreage includes 4 connected but separately platted parcels with County Road 450 / 105 frontage and a physical 911 address with private gate access, separate from the main ranch community gate entrance.
CR 450 is approx. 18.5 miles outside of Rocksprings off of Hwy 377. The Property location is then another 7.8 miles north on 450 from 377. County Road 450 is a county-maintained, 40 ft wide caliche road. Electricity runs overhead across the "front" (Eastern) portion of the property and there are cleared / pushed truck trails leading from entrance, up the hill to the utility line right of way trails. There is a bedrock wet weather creek with good cover that attracts wildlife to the feeder area. The driving trails allow access to the hillside easily in order to set a cabin overlooking the front of the property & County Road.
A 2,100+ foot elevation hilltop allows privacy and separation of the property into front and back sections with ability to drive or walk around to the west side. There is also a secondary rear access road that is shared with the two neighboring parcel owners and is gated and locked.
This front portion of the original Newby ranch was never introduced to visitors for hunting because of the native artifacts found on this section. Multiple wet weather creeks and draws attract herds of free range axis deer and multi-colored fallow along with migrating elk. Whitetail are also common, along with dove, Turkey, hogs, some occasional quail, but exotics dominate this terrain. There are multiple locations on the property that offer hunting setup features or for grazing.
Quality fixed knot fence runs along the North and East (frontage) property lines. A grazing lease is in place with the master ranch allowing free grazing cattle to provide the Ag tax exemption. New owners can add additional fencing as they wish and carry on the Ag exemption in their own manner or convert to a wildlife exemption.
Minimal Restrictions are deeded with the property. Primarily restricting daily hunt lease activity.
A low POA fee maintains the original ranch gate and internal roads. $5 per acre per year.
Currently AG-EXEMPT
