High Lonesome Ranch presents a rare opportunity to own an exceptional Devils River ranch with more than 2 miles of accessible river frontage. Unlike many stretches of the Devils River defined by steep bluffs, the ranch side provides extensive access to the river vega and pristine water.
Start on the north end of the property and enjoy an approximately two-hour tube trip downstream through clear water and small rapids. Launch a kayak or paddle boat, spend the day fly fishing, or relax in one of the river’s large clear swimming holes.
The ranch headquarters includes an approximately 2,621-square-foot main home positioned to capture panoramic river views. A sunroom overlooks the Devils River. A detached one-bedroom apartment provides additional accommodations. Approximately half a mile away, a 3-bedroom guest house sleeps eight and provides added privacy for family and guests.
Water infrastructure includes three strategically placed wells, pilas, and multiple troughs serving wildlife throughout the property. Whitetail deer, aoudad, Rio Grande turkey, quail, dove, and other species inhabit the ranch. Feeders and hunting blinds are already established.
An extensive all-weather road system provides access across the ranch and leads to multiple elevated overlooks. Elevations range from approximately 1,410 feet along the river to 1,827 feet at the higher points. The terrain transitions from an approximately 350-acre flat river valley to rolling and rugged country farther west.
Along the southern river frontage, mature pecan and live oak trees line the vega. Sycamores dominate other sections, adding seasonal color along the water.
High Lonesome Ranch also offers exceptional private aviation infrastructure. Improvements include a 2,500-foot high-fenced grass airstrip, 2,960-square-foot two-bay hangar, and small helipad.
For buyers seeking a Devils River ranch, Texas hunting ranch, recreational ranch, riverfront property, private retreat, or large acreage investment, High Lonesome Ranch combines water, wildlife, improvements, accessibility, and diverse terrain.
Seller will consider dividing the property.
