#1. COMANCHE TRAIL RANCH | PECOS COUNTY | $28,316,340 | PROPERTY ID: 3063472
The 48,404 acres of Comanche Trail Ranch occupy a landscape that is quintessential Wild West country. Here, at elevations ranging between 3,321 to 4,724 feet, the rolling grasslands of the Chihuahuan Desert unfurl into pine-studded mesas and mountains. The vegetation gives cover to an impressive array of game and non-game animals that include mule deer, elk, coyotes, javelina, bobcats, quail, hawks and a number of migratory bird species. The property has undergone a series of infrastructure improvements recently, and includes building and equipment to support its ranching operations and staff.

#2. A.B. HUDSON ESTATE | WICHITA COUNTY | $25,955,525 | PROPERTY ID: 2580685
Located in the Central Great Plains of north Texas on the border with Oklahoma, 31,739-acre A.B. Hudson Estate sprawls across two ranch properties supporting pastureland for grazing as well as existing hunting leases. The ranch was established by Texas oilman A.B. Hudson, who founded Highway Oil Company, the property’s current owner. Located within driving range of the sprawling Dallas-Ft. Worth metro area, hunting-lease income is assured from hunters coming to bag deer, turkey, quail and other game. The property’s two tracts are for sale in any of eight parcels or in its entirety for the surface only (mineral and wind rights have been severed).
#3. BARREL SPRINGS RANCH | PRESIDIO COUNTY | $30,770,000 | PROPERTY ID: 2864470
Barrel Springs Ranch is a 30,770-acre working cattle ranch located in west Texas near the iconic artist enclave of Marfa. The property benefits from decades of careful habitat and infrastructure management to support its array of livestock, wildlife, and recreational uses. Fenced into 37 pastures and dotted with some 72 watering stations, the pastureland and more rugged foothills of the Davis Mountains sustain herds of cattle as well as mule deer, pronghorn antelope, aoudad (aka, Barbary sheep) and quail. The elegant main house includes a swimming pool, while two guest houses and a private airstrip are ready to welcome any out-of-town visitors!
#4. RANCH ON TOP | HUDSPETH COUNTY | $16,801,262 | PROPERTY ID: 2779443
Set on the high-desert plateau of far-west Texas between Mexico and New Mexico, 30,547-acre Ranch on Top boasts a dramatic perch amidst escarpments, cliffs, canyons and grasslands. Along with its existing cattle operations, the habitat here supports herds of mule deer and pronghorn antelope as well as other game such as blue quail, mourning dove and javelina. The property’s headquarters includes a main ranch house, foreman’s house, staff quarters, trap-shooting course and large airstrip. A recent price reduction saw the cost fall to $550 per acre.
#5. BAEZA RANCH | CULBERSON COUNTY | $28,000,000 | PROPERTY ID: 2487741
Baeza Ranch is a 28,000-acre spread in the grasslands of west Texas, supporting 400 head of cattle in a continuous acreage that includes solar wells, a windmill and ample water troughs and storage. The native grass- and brush-lands also feed resident populations of mule deer, antelope, aoudad sheep, javelina, rabbits, quail, dove and other bird species. A three-bedroom, two-bathroom ranch occupies the property, as well as an additional two-bedroom house and mobile home that are not currently in use. While undeniably remote, Baeza Ranch connects to U.S. Highway 90 and the I-10 corridor at the town of Van Horn, Texas, by way of a maintained access road.
