WATER
The 9.25 mile stretch of the Lower Pecos River is a mesmerizing sight, featuring clear spring-fed waters, towering canyon walls and incredible fishery.

The vega along the river at the Live Oak access point stretches for nearly 1.5 miles providing another exceptional opportunity for usable river frontage.
In addition to the river, the ranch boasts 18 water wells, the majority of which are operational and provide water access for wildlife, as well as distribution to drinkers and natural water features. Several of the water wells are capable of flow rates in excess of 100 GPM, ensuring a reliable and abundant water source throughout the property.
TOPOGRAPHY AND RANGELANDS
As you travel west from the Texas Hill Country to the Trans Pecos, there is a certain element that sets one ranch apart from another, known as the wow factor. The Silver S Ranch embodies the wow factor, thanks to its unique natural features and enhanced accessibility within the rugged terrain of the lower canyon lands of the Pecos River.
In addition to the breathtaking Pecos River Canyon, the ranch is home to numerous other stunning canyons, including the massive Harkell Canyon and the equally impressive Moose Canyon. The property also boasts a variety of caves, shelters and rock art sites inviting exploration and discovery. Elevations range from about 1,320 feet to nearly 1,935 feet at several locations.
Native grasses and a wide range of brush cover the ranch, with stands of live oaks and shin oaks found within the canyons and arroyos.
Historically, much of the ranch was used for sheep grazing and some limited cattle grazing. It is currently managed for wildlife and has been for some time.
WILDLIFE, HUNTING AND FISHING
The Silver S Ranch is teeming with wildlife, offering an abundance of hunting and watching opportunities. The seller has made significant investments in the quail and deer populations as well as other wildlife. The ranch is home to quality populations of white-tailed deer, scaled quail, javelina, aoudad, dove and waterfowl. A year-round supplemental feeding program is in place with blinds and feeders placed across the property. Predators including mountain lions, coyotes, bobcats and foxes can also be found on the ranch. Occasionally a mule deer will make an appearance, and black bears are known to be expanding into the area.
Birdwatching opportunities exist with migratory songbirds and raptors present at certain times of the year. Situated along the Monarch butterfly migration route, ranch owners can witness one of the worlds most awe-inspiring phenomena during the October migration.
ROADS
Access is one of the most crucial requirements for a property of this size. The Silver S Ranch delivers 24 miles of professionally-built roads with reinforced culverts, designed to last for years with minimal maintenance. There are two drive down roads leading directly to the river, both allowing 2WD access. Each road is strategically spaced about a days fishing or distance apart. These top-notch roads make the ranch usable at a level that is hard to replicate.
HOMES AND STRUCTURES
At the heart of Silver S is the main headquarters area that includes the newly-updated, historic 3-bedroom Merle and French Ingram cut limestone home that dates back to the 1930s. A small remodeled guest cabin, relatively new ranch hand trailer, an equipment barn, a shop, a storage barn, and several other outbuildings can also be found in the main headquarters area.
To the north, there is an additional 4-bedroom ranch home with an open floorplan and nearby small barn used for hunting vehicle storage. This home is conveniently near the Pandale Road, allowing easy access to the property.
To the south you will find a visually-appealing and comfortable 3-bedroom double-wide overlooking the stunning Pecos River and Harkell Canyon.
SPECIAL ATTRACTIONS
The Harkell Cave is hidden on the Pecos River side of Harkell Canyon with commanding views of the river. The cave has been cleaned and equipped with a fire pit, chairs and hefty supply of firewood, providing the perfect spot to relax, or enjoy the spectacular canyon and river views, complete with an adult beverage and cigar! The cave is accessible via trail and a set of custom steps with rails, making it an ideal retreat.
The drivable access point at Live Oak has a beautifully maintained lawn in the river vega offering a scenic setting for camping and cookouts. The road leading out of the River through the ranchs Live Oak Pasture (named after the large Live Oak along the river that has managed to grow and thrive seemingly out of solid rock) is known as the Encino Solo Trail. In the early days of ranching in this part of Texas, the area ranchers used the Encino Solo Trail to cross the Pecos River and move their livestock from pastures east of the river to shipping points on the western side.
On the northern portion of the river is The Grapevine entry point where swimmers, kayakers, and tubers can access the water for a peaceful float downstream to Live Oak.
MINERALS AND COMMERCIAL WATER
Approximately 3,950+ acres are state classified minerals, and the rights associated with those will convey. There are no leases or production in place.

HISTORY
The ranch has numerous sites containing Native American Pictographs (Rock Art). Shumla Archaeological Research and Education Center (Shumla) studied the pictographs on the property. They found that the upper bench of an offshoot canyon, running west and adjacent to the Pecos River, contains an archaeological rock art mural that is approximately 43 meters long with 36 different grinding features and remnant paint interspersed among the bedrock. The rock art features a large Pecos River style mural, an art style that dates back approximately 3,000 years.
The nearby town of Langtry is rich in history and is known for Judge Roy Bean and his colorful style of justice. Langtry offers the Judge Roy Bean Visitor Center and a few services.
Seminole Canyon State Park is just down the road where human habitation started about 10,000 years ago. The cave art is stunning and is very similar to the art found on Silver S Ranch.
