Elk Draw Ranch is located just 30 minutes south of Alpine and 40 minutes north of Big Bend National Park just 1.5 miles off Highway 118 on a good caliche road which it owns. It is surrounded by mountains reaching to over 6,000' giving it expansive views. Elephant Mountain and its 23,000+ acre state wildlife management area sits just a few miles to the north.

Elk Draw offers 3,100+/- acres with expansive views of mountains in all directions. The ranch gives numerous possibilities to its next owner. It is conveniently located 35+/- miles from Alpine, Texas with easy highway access to where one can enjoy dining, lodging, entertainment, and many other amenities. To the south lies Big Bend National Park, Terlingua Ghost Town, and Lajitas Golf Resort & Spa. This area of the Trans-Pecos has seen rapid growth in tourism throughout the past 5 years. From the ranch, it is easy to reach these destinations on this beautiful scenic highway.

The ranch's topography consists of rolling hills, wooded draws, dry creek beds, limestone ridges and extensive frontage on Calamity Creek which flows south towards the Rio Grande from the mountains to the north. About 500 acres are on the westside of Calamity Creek and easily accessed from Highway 118. There are excellent sites for a lodge home in this area. The balance of the ranch is on the east side of the creek with more rugged terrain and holds a ton of game.

The ranch shares a strong water well which supplies sufficient water storage and multiple watering troughs throughout Elk Draw. These troughs provide water for the wildlife including a resident elk herd, mule deer, as well as scaled quail. Other non-game animals include mountain lions, coyotes, javelina, rabbits and other small mammals. Since converting the ranch to a wildlife management area (lDl designation for tax purposes) the owners have seen elk and mule deer at feeders for the past 10 years. A great deal of evidence of elk and mule deer can be seen throughout the ranch in forms of tracks, scat, as well as on numerous photos captured by game cameras. There are multiple places to create dirt tanks on the ranch that could provide supplemental water during the dry periods of the years in between the rainy seasons. There are water pockets in the creek which offer a natural habitat to the wildlife that reside and move through the Calamity Creek valley.

This ranch is partially fenced and has been improved with good roads, electricity on the west side of the creek. There are no buildings. There are several locations west of the creek where electricity is nearby all offer stunning views. The acreage gives jaw dropping and expansive views of Cathedral Mountain, Elephant Mountain, Kokernot Mesa, Nine Point Mesa, Santiago Peak, and other mountain ranges reaching into Mexico.

Elk Draw Ranch is well buffered by huge ranching neighbors including the 02 Ranch to the south and Black Mesa Ranch to the east. It will provide a great opportunity for hunting, wildlife and birding excursions for an individual, family group or investor seeking a getaway or their next project. This ranch borders the Mesa View Ranch on the westside of Calamity Creek which is also for sale and can be purchased together.
