The Caverns Ranch, Barksdale Texas
The Caverns Ranch is a true Texas treasure, home to the pristine headwaters of the Nueces River and offering breathtaking 360-degree views of rolling hills as far as the eye can see. Accessed by a 1.1-mile gravel county road, the front gate sits tucked away at the end of a quiet stretch that passes through one neighboring ranch. Nestled in a picturesque valley, the ranch headquarters boasts a charming setting, complete with a creek winding through rugged limestone cliffs.
The property includes a three-bedroom, two-bath ranch house, a guest house, working pens, a well, a cistern, and outbuildings—all shaded by majestic oak and pecan trees. Little Hackberry Creek meanders for 7,000 feet across the ranch, its flow supported year-round in places by several permanent springs. Adding to the property’s allure are five dramatic hillside caves, carved into the towering limestone cliffs and rising up to 15 feet in height.
The ranch’s natural beauty is further amplified by nine individual springs and a 400-foot elevation change, creating a landscape of unparalleled scenic variety. The wildlife here is a hunter’s dream, with thriving free range populations of aoudad sheep, Transcaspian urials, Iranian red sheep, Racka sheep, four-horned sheep, blackbuck, elk, whitetail deer, fallow deer, axis deer, turkeys, and other native varmints. The property also benefits from an agricultural exemption.
