With two miles of frontage on State Highway 118 at elevation 4,100 ft, the Mesa View Ranch is located just 30 minutes south of Alpine and 40 minutes north of Big Bend National Park. It is surrounded by mountains reaching to over 6,000 giving it expansive views. Elephant Mountain and its 23,000+ acre state wildlife management area sits just a few miles to the north. Mesa View offers 1,625+/- acres with expansive views of mountains in all directions. The ranch gives numerous possibilities to its next owner. It is conveniently located 33+/- miles from Alpine, Texas with easy highway access to where one can enjoy dining, lodging, entertainment, and many other amenities. To the south lies Big Bend National Park, Terlingua Ghost Town, and Lajitas Golf Resort & Spa. This area of the Trans-Pecos has seen rapid growth in tourism throughout the past 5 years. From the ranch, it is easy to reach these destinations on this beautiful scenic highway. The ranch's topography consists of rolling hills, wooded draws, dry creek beds, and limestone ridges. The ranch offers a strong water well which supplies sufficient water storage and multiple watering troughs throughout the spread. These troughs provide water for the wildlife including a resident elk herd, mule deer, as well as scaled quail. Other non-game animals include mountain lions, coyotes, javelina, rabbits and other small mammals. Since converting the ranch to a wildlife management area (1D1 designation for tax purposes) the owners have seen elk and mule deer at feeders for the past 10 years. A great deal of evidence of elk and mule deer can be seen throughout the ranch in forms of tracks, scat, as well as on numerous photos captured by game cameras. There are multiple dirt tanks on the ranch that also provide supplemental water during the dry periods of the years in between the rainy seasons. Calamity Creek, which flows off the mountains to the north including Elephant and Cathedral mountains, forms the eastern boundary of the ranch. There are water pockets which offer a natural habitat to the wildlife that reside and move through the Calamity Creek valley. This ranch is partially fenced and has been improved with good roads, electricity from north to south and water storage and distribution. There are no buildings. There are many areas with close proximity to both electricity & water which all offer stunning 360 degree views. The acreage gives jaw dropping and expansive views of Cathedral Mountain, Elephant Mountain, Kokernot Mesa, Nine Point Mesa, Santiago Peak, and other mountain ranges reaching into Mexico. Mesa View Ranch is well buffered by huge ranching neighbors including the 02 Ranch, Black Mesa Ranch and Yarborough Ranch. It will provide a great opportunity for hunting, wildlife and birding excursions, or for an investor seeking their next project. One must see this property in person to truly appreciate its beauty and uniqueness. This ranch borders the Elk Draw Ranch on the eastside of Calamity Creek which is also for sale and can be purchased together.
