Barksdale, TX 78828 - Edwards County

The Caverns Ranch is a stunning estate that proudly serves as the headwaters of the Nueces River, boasting a breathtaking, 360-degree vista of the rolling hills that surround the entire area. To reach the front gate, there is a 1.1 miles drive along a dirt county road, which winds through another ranch before arriving at the entrance of The Caverns. The headquarters of the property is situated in a picturesque valley flanked by a creek and striking limestone cliffs.

The property features a sturdily-built ranch house that includes three spacious bedrooms and two baths, along with a welcoming two-room guest house with a full bath. There are also livestock pens, a functioning well, a cistern for water storage, and several outbuildings, all of which are in good repair. These structures are pleasantly shaded by mature oak and pecan trees, providing a great place to convene for morning coffee or an evening cocktail.

Little Hackberry Creek winds gracefully through the ranch, spanning an impressive seven thousand feet. While the water levels of the creek vary throughout the seasons, several permanent springs ensure that some sections of the creek remain full all year round, adding to the natural beauty of the landscape.

One of the most captivating features of the ranch is the presence of five stunning caves, which are nestled along the dramatically rugged cliffs, with some reaching heights of twenty feet or more!

The property is characterized by nine distinct springs and a remarkable variation in elevation of four hundred feet, making it one of the most visually striking and extraordinary locations you are likely to encounter.

For those with a passion for hunting, the opportunities here are truly exceptional. The ranch is home to diverse wildlife, including herds of Aoudad sheep, Transcaspian Urals, Iranian Red sheep, Racka sheep, Four Horn Sheep, Blackbuck, Elk, Whitetail, fallow, and Axis deer, as well as turkeys and a variety of native varmints. Furthermore, the property benefits from an agricultural exemption, enhancing its appeal as both a beautiful retreat and a wise investment.
