Call Rory to set up your private showing—you’ve got to see this ranch in person as pictures don’t do it justice! LOCATION: The property is located in northern Borden County and southern Garza County. It is approximately 18 miles north of Gail and 24 miles south of Post off FM 669. A deeded, private road easement provides access to the ranch. Estimated distances from larger cities include: Lubbock, approximately 65 miles away, Midland, around 100 miles, with Abilene being 135+/- miles, and Fort Worth, about 283 miles. ACREAGE: Red Bluff Mesa is approximately 1645± acres of mesquite bottomlands, some rolling terrain with caprock-like bluffs on and around the property. Most of the bluff country drains through numerous ephemeral creeks, creating infinite travel corridors for wildlife across the ranch. There are areas that pool water after rains, along with 6 earthen tanks on the ranch as well. TOPOGRAPHY: There is 180’ of relief across the ranch with elevations from 2400’ in the bottom to 2580’on top of the southern mesa. The elevation change is gradual and rolling in the bottoms with the steep bluffs falling from the mesa, creating an expansive horizon. The numerous drainages, tanks, and rolling landscape create unique features. RAINFALL AND ELEVATION: According to the Texas Almanac, Borden County’s annual rainfall is 18.2 inches. COVER: The mesquite and mixed brush cover changes across the ranch from thickets to savannahs. The plumb thickets along some of the drainages seem to roll on and on, with several being as big as a car! The property has only been grazed by a few head of cattle over the last several years, which has allowed grass turf to build up and cover most of the acreage. Big Bluestem has exploded up and down several of the drainages, along with some bunches of Yellow Indiangrass. It is unusual to see one of the big three native grasses in such abundance, much less having the other 2 present as well. FENCES: The Red Bluff Mesa has perimeter fencing on three sides—north, east and south; but not the west. The fencing in place is adequate for livestock and of mixed ages and materials. UTILITIES: Big Country Electric Co-operative provides electric service to the ranch. There are overhead lines run on various parts of the acreage. WATER: There are 6 tanks along with an oxbow on the northern boundary that provide surface water. Underground water can sometimes be found in the area but in limited volume. There is an older water well next to one of the drainages, the age and condition of that well are unknown. HUNTING: Red Bluff Mesa has had little to no hunting pressure for several years now. Large ranching neighbors in the area also provide vast habitat for game. Wildlife that inhabits the area are white-tailed deer, some mule deer, feral hogs, aoudad, as well as mourning doves and various duck species use ponds and sloughs in winter time. Both bobwhite and blue quail have been observed on the property. Coyotes, bobcats, and various other varmints call the area home as well. There are game camera photos of white-tailed deer, blue & bobwhite quail, hogs and aoudads from the ranch. RESIDENCE AND IMPROVEMENTS: There is an old ranch house on property, its viability is questionable. A set of pens and some cross fencing are also on the ranch. MINERAL RIGHTS: Sold as surface estate only, seller doesn’t own any mineral interest. PRICE: Red Bluff Mesa is being offered at $2,294,775.
