Restoration efforts began with the end goal of taking this ranch back to the 1800s. Through meticulous land management, invasive cedar trees were removed, revealing hidden springs, native grasses and hardwoods.

Land, Wildlife and Water
In Texas, it is rare for a ranch to include an expansive stunning viewshed as a primary asset. The BW Ranch showcases 24 peaks, expansive valleys and views that stretch to Bandera, Kerrville and Medina.
The ever-changing landscape is enhanced by diverse vegetation. Cypress trees surround the main lake. Pecan trees shade the valley. Live oaks and Spanish oaks dot the native grasslands. A lone bull mesquite shades the pavilion. Cedar has been aggressively cleared and prescribed burns have been used to clear and reinvigorate the land. As a result, desirable native Hill Country browse provides a nutritious buffet for wildlife.
Whitetails that benefit from enhanced genetics, Rio Grande turkeys, dove and bobwhite quail are native to the ranch. A herd of bison, numbering upwards of 50, graze the flats and hillsides. Auodad sheep along with blackbuck antelope, axis, fallow and sika deer also call the ranch home. Other wild denizens include coyotes, bobcats, mountain lions and a host of other non-game species and songbirds.
Two Longhorns also roam the ranch. Ones horns measured 13.5 feet the last time a tape was put to them. Those numbers place him in world-record territory.

An 8-acre spring-fed lake, stocked with largemouth bass enhanced by Florida bass genetics, blue cats, blue gills and sun perch is arguably the recreational focal point. Anglers have landed some bass that tipped the scales at more than 14 pounds. A boat house, with a bathroom, a fish cleaning station and a pontoon boat, ensures that family and friends can make the most of the clear, inviting water.
The ranch boasts second spring-fed lake, which is smaller. It, too, is stocked with desirable fish for additional angling fun.

Welcome to Coal Creek Ranch, a truly one-of-a-kind retreat in the Texas Hill Country. This exceptional property seamlessly blends natural beauty with diverse landscapes, offering an immediate escape into an atmosphere everyone can enjoy.

Terrain:
This gently rolling northern Tom Green County and southern Coke County ranch is extremely scenic! Lots of big, deep soiled valleys with many seasonally dry creek beds rising up to the large hillsides with killer views. Much care has been given over the years to mesquite, cedar, and prickly pear control. Also, the interior roads are considered good. This gorgeous property is completely HIGH FENCED with high-tinsel wire/steel posts. Most of the fences are considered in very good condition with many built within the last few years. Lots of cover for deer and other wildlife and considering our dry range conditions, this ranch has good range conditions.
Improvements:
The only house on the ranch is used by hunters. It is a small concrete cinder block structure with comp shingles, small kitchen & bathroom. There is a very large barn used for storage of ranch equipment, and supplies. Nice barn that was built several decades ago but still in fair condition. A large set of steel corrals for working livestock is next to the barn. There is another set of corrals towards the center of the ranch.
Pastures & Water:
This working ranch is divided into six main pastures, and three traps. There is also some deer holding pens and a soft relief trap for deer. All of the deer improvements are located in the most southern pasture. There are reportedly 9 solar wells and 2 windmills. This is considered to be a very well-watered ranch.
Wildlife:
Being a HIGH FENCED RANCH, the whitetail deer hunting is considered to be very good with many years of management. As previously mentioned, the south pasture has been used for years to grow and raise some high genetic deer with bucks in the 200 + class. Occasionally the owners have released some of these better genetic deer to the other pastures to improve the bloodlines within the whole ranch. Lots of turkey, dove, and even some quail! Another option would be to add some EXOTICS in the future.
Minerals:
Some minerals negotiable.
Comments:
Very seldom does a ranch of this size and quality in this excellent location being near San Angelo EVER come on the market!! This is an opportunity to purchase one of the PREMIER RANCHES in West Texas which has been in the same family since 1914!! That my friends is very special!

The ranch has access from 2 State Highways and is located approximately 281 Miles from DFW (4 Hours and 21 min) 116 miles from Lubbock (1 Hour and 46 min) 93 Miles from Amarillo (1 Hour and 25 min)
Property Description:
The Evans Ranch, once known as Burson Lake, stands as one of the most breathtaking and historically rich ranches on the Texas market today. Spanning 9,586 deeded acres with an additional 160 acres of state land, this ranch is a testament to the rugged beauty and timeless history of the Lone Star State. Having only had two owners since 1940s, this property offers an unparalleled legacy of stewardship and conservation.
Ranch History:
Tony Burson of Silverton purchased the Slaughter Ranch in 1949 at the age of 47. A man of many trades, Tony farmed, ranched, worked as a banker, and even owned a Ford auto dealership with his father and brothers. In 1952, he constructed a dam on the ranch creating what became a 25-acre lake. This lake, fed by a blue spring hole, served as both a water source and a crossing over Bluff Creek.
The lake quickly became a community treasure. Willard Hudson of Clarendon and Dusty Taylor leased and operated the lake, which they named Burson Lake. It featured cabins, a snack shack, and recreational amenities, opening to the public for approximately 20 years. During this time, it was a beloved spot for families and visitors alike.
Tony eventually retired from the cattle business, leasing the ranch to Bill Cushing and later to Mike Smith. In 1973, Tony passed away, leaving the ranch to his nieces and nephews in the Burson family. By the 1980s, the lake had silted in, and the family made the difficult decision to cut the dam.
Don Burson, Tony's only nephew, leased the ranch for many years, maintaining its legacy until the property was put up for sale in the early 2000s. In 2004, the ranch found a new steward in Bill Evans of Kress, Texas. The Burson family couldnt have been happier, knowing someone of Bills character would care for the land they cherished.
From 2004 to the present, Billy and his family have worked tirelessly to enhance the ranch. In 2014, Billy rebuilt the dam and cleared the silt from the lake, restoring it to its former glory. He also expanded the existing home overlooking the water, creating a haven for his family and guests.
One of Billys most significant contributions was solving the ranchs water challenges. When the property was purchased, it lacked a reliable well. Billy struck water at the north end of the ranch near the Highway 256 entrance and installed miles of underground poly pipe. This system delivers water to approximately 18 troughs across the ranch, ensuring an ample supply for both livestock and wildlife.
Now at 90 years old, Billy and his wife have decided its time to pass the torch. They hope another family will take on this historic property, continuing its legacy of love and care for generations to come.
Water Features:
At the heart of the ranch is an impressive 9-mile stretch of the Little Red River, boasting consistent water flow year-round. Bluff Creek and Oxbow Creek also traverse the property, while multiple natural springs, a 25-acre spring-fed lake, and several stock ponds provide an abundance of water. The stock ponds are stocked with Catfish, Bass, Bluegill, and Crappie, making the ranch a fishermans dream. Additional water resources include:
One well with a storage tank, piped to 18 strategically placed cattle troughs.
Two solar wells, one of which is shared with neighbor but does lie on the ranch providing reliable water sources across the property. There is an additional windmill that blew down
but could easily be restored to working condition.

The Evans Ranch is exceptionally equipped for cattle operations with:
A capacity to comfortably support 200 mother cows.
Four strategically placed sets of cattle pens for efficient livestock management.

With an unprecedented investment in road and access development, the owner will have immediate access to enjoy, utilize and manage the large ranch. In addition to the quality roads and drivable river access, the property is equipped with five homes, a shop, an equipment barn and several other updated structures. The clear water of the Pecos River, rippling arroyos and active wildlife create an extraordinary oasis from the outside world.
WATER
The 9.25 mile stretch of the Lower Pecos River is a mesmerizing sight, featuring clear spring-fed waters, towering canyon walls and incredible fishery. This secluded river corridor offers deep holes and small rapids, making it perfect for canoeing, kayaking, fishing, tubing, waterfowl hunting, wildlife watching, and simply exploring. Anglers can anticipate catching largemouth bass, sunfish, freshwater drum, catfish, and carp. The expansive river frontage provides unmatched beauty and endless opportunities for exploration, a feature rarely found on other ranches.
A distinctive aspect of the ranchs riverfronts are the conveniently located put-in and take-out points offering easy access to water activities. To the north is the Grape Vine access point while the Live Oak access point lies to the south, both capable of driving a sports car to the rivers edge. The vega along the river at the Live Oak access point stretches for nearly 1.5 miles providing another exceptional opportunity for usable river frontage.
In addition to the river, the ranch boasts 18 water wells, the majority of which are operational and provide water access for wildlife, as well as distribution to drinkers and natural water features. Several of the water wells are capable of flow rates in excess of 100 GPM, ensuring a reliable and abundant water source throughout the property.
TOPOGRAPHY AND RANGELANDS
As you travel west from the Texas Hill Country to the Trans Pecos, there is a certain element that sets one ranch apart from another, known as the wow factor. The Silver S Ranch embodies the wow factor, thanks to its unique natural features and enhanced accessibility within the rugged terrain of the lower canyon lands of the Pecos River.
In addition to the breathtaking Pecos River Canyon, the ranch is home to numerous other stunning canyons, including the massive Harkell Canyon and the equally impressive Moose Canyon. The property also boasts a variety of caves, shelters and rock art sites inviting exploration and discovery. Elevations range from about 1,320 feet to nearly 1,935 feet at several locations.
Native grasses and a wide range of brush cover the ranch, with stands of live oaks and shin oaks found within the canyons and arroyos.
Historically, much of the ranch was used for sheep grazing and some limited cattle grazing. It is currently managed for wildlife and has been for some time.
WILDLIFE, HUNTING AND FISHING
The Silver S Ranch is teeming with wildlife, offering an abundance of hunting and watching opportunities. The seller has made significant investments in the quail and deer populations as well as other wildlife. The ranch is home to quality populations of white-tailed deer, scaled quail, javelina, aoudad, dove and waterfowl. A year-round supplemental feeding program is in place with blinds and feeders placed across the property. Predators including mountain lions, coyotes, bobcats and foxes can also be found on the ranch. Occasionally a mule deer will make an appearance, and black bears are known to be expanding into the area.
Birdwatching opportunities exist with migratory songbirds and raptors present at certain times of the year. Situated along the Monarch butterfly migration route, ranch owners can witness one of the worlds most awe-inspiring phenomena during the October migration.
ROADS
Access is one of the most crucial requirements for a property of this size.

There are two drive down roads leading directly to the river, both allowing 2WD access. Each road is strategically spaced about a days fishing or distance apart.

At the heart of Silver S is the main headquarters area that includes the newly-updated, historic 3-bedroom Merle and French Ingram cut limestone home that dates back to the 1930s. A small remodeled guest cabin, relatively new ranch hand trailer, an equipment barn, a shop, a storage barn, and several other outbuildings can also be found in the main headquarters area.
To the north, there is an additional 4-bedroom ranch home with an open floorplan and nearby small barn used for hunting vehicle storage. This home is conveniently near the Pandale Road, allowing easy access to the property.
To the south you will find a visually-appealing and comfortable 3-bedroom double-wide overlooking the stunning Pecos River and Harkell Canyon.
SPECIAL ATTRACTIONS
The Harkell Cave is hidden on the Pecos River side of Harkell Canyon with commanding views of the river. The cave has been cleaned and equipped with a fire pit, chairs and hefty supply of firewood, providing the perfect spot to relax, or enjoy the spectacular canyon and river views, complete with an adult beverage and cigar! The cave is accessible via trail and a set of custom steps with rails, making it an ideal retreat.
The drivable access point at Live Oak has a beautifully maintained lawn in the river vega offering a scenic setting for camping and cookouts. The road leading out of the River through the ranchs Live Oak Pasture (named after the large Live Oak along the river that has managed to grow and thrive seemingly out of solid rock) is known as the Encino Solo Trail. In the early days of ranching in this part of Texas, the area ranchers used the Encino Solo Trail to cross the Pecos River and move their livestock from pastures east of the river to shipping points on the western side.
On the northern portion of the river is The Grapevine entry point where swimmers, kayakers, and tubers can access the water for a peaceful float downstream to Live Oak.

HISTORY
The ranch has numerous sites containing Native American Pictographs (Rock Art). Shumla Archaeological Research and Education Center (Shumla) studied the pictographs on the property. They found that the upper bench of an offshoot canyon, running west and adjacent to the Pecos River, contains an archaeological rock art mural that is approximately 43 meters long with 36 different grinding features and remnant paint interspersed among the bedrock. The rock art features a large Pecos River style mural, an art style that dates back approximately 3,000 years.
The nearby town of Langtry is rich in history and is known for Judge Roy Bean and his colorful style of justice. Langtry offers the Judge Roy Bean Visitor Center and a few services.
Seminole Canyon State Park is just down the road where human habitation started about 10,000 years ago. The cave art is stunning and is very similar to the art found on Silver S Ranch.
