Description
The C-3 Ranch is located in the heart of the Davis Mountains, a Sky Island of the Chihuahuan Desert with elevations ranging from 5,100 feet to 6,100 feet. Merrill Creek and its tributaries provide riparian woodlands and seasonal flowing clear waters surrounded by excellent high desert grasslands. There is a historic ranch Adobe home and outbuildings that could be restored into a unique Headquarters complex. The ranch has outstanding views of the nearby high mountains including Mt. Livermore which is owned by The Nature Conservancy as a Preserve. The adjoining ranch to the north has a Conservation Easement which provides protected views.
Habitat
This "inside the scenic loop" ranch on the south slopes of Mt Livermore is dominated by mile high grasslands and woodlands of the Davis Mountains. Cane Bluestem, Blue Gramma, and Sideoats Gramma with diverse native Emory Oaks, Gray Oaks, and Mexican Walnut provide some of the best Mule Deer and wildlife habitat in the area. There is also an interesting exposed geological rock uplift at the center of the ranch where you can find several caves along the banks of Bat Cave Creek. Several large hills create excellent topography and the views of the mountains are nothing short of stunning. Excellent grasses and Chihuahuan Desert plants provide habitat not only for the native animals but for the people who visit there. This is historic ranching country and represents some of the best cow/calf range in West Texas.
Wildlife
Big mule deer, blue quail, and dove populations are tremendous and create great hunting opportunities. Native brush and grasses provide excellent habitat for these game species and many native birds and other non-game animals.
