With paved access and only an hour’s drive to Billings and its international airport, this ranch is both productive and convenient. This well-cared-for ranch has never been overgrazed and features high-quality native grass supporting a carrying capacity of approximately 600 cow/calf pairs. The property is cross-fenced into 14 pastures, with strategically placed water tanks served by 15 electric wells and one solar well. Additional water resources include 12 reservoirs that hold water consistently and eight seasonal springs, ensuring reliable livestock and wildlife water throughout the year. The ranch’s fencing is in excellent condition, with updates completed after the 2021 wildfire. Power is provided by NorthWestern Energy, and road access is excellent via a maintained county road off Musselshell Trail Road. Ranch improvements include two well-kept homes and multiple working facilities. The main residence is a 2,288± sq. ft. 2003 double-wide with three bedrooms and two bathrooms.

$21,500,000 • 49,398 acres
Located in Eastern Montana’s short-grass prairie country, Antelope Springs Ranch encompasses approximately 49,398 total acres, of which 43,278 are deeded open grasslands. For the past thirteen years, it has been managed under a regenerative grazing model that has kept this iconic landscape resilient through both high-moisture years and extended drought. Currently, the ranch is running 400 cow -calf pairs with an additional 900 head of yearlings for six months, for an estimated total of 740 animal units. Management believes that the ranch is stocked at about 60% of its carrying capacity, which would rate the carrying capacity at 1,180 animal units. The ranch’s on-site managers, the Smith Family, have been instrumental in restoring this resource through disciplined rotational grazing, soil-health practices, and riparian protection, complemented by thoughtful wildlife management. Their holistic approach has driven a resurgence of native prairie grasses and a measurable improvement in overall landscape health—gains that have been tracked since 2013 by Snaplands, a rangeland-monitoring firm. The ranch takes its name from Antelope Springs, three productive springs on the property that flow year-round—feeding a stock pond and forming a scenic backdrop for the historic Brooks Place. The result is a working cattle ranch that pairs genuine ecological stewardship with a disciplined, low-input operating model: dependable performance on calves, produced from land that is measurably healthier than it was thirteen years ago.

Encompassing nearly the entirety of a West Texas mountain range is the Wylie Mountains Ranch. The range, named after the pioneer settler Robert K. Wylie (1885), is rich with history and diverse in habitat. The ranch includes desert grasslands/brushlands on its outer portions with foothills, expansive canyons and mountains with numerous peaks over 5,000’ in the more central portions. The different ecosystems provide a home for a diverse array of wildlife as well as grazing opportunities for livestock. LOCATION The ranch is located southeast of Van Horn, TX and about 20 driving miles from the Culberson County Airport. Drive time to Marfa is an hour and about 20 minutes; El Paso is about 2 hours and Midland is about 2.5 hours. TOPOGRAPHY, RANGELAND & HABITAT The ranch encompasses nearly 100% of the Wylie Mountains with about 3/4 of the ranch being mountainous and some foothills with the remaining portions being in the “flats”. Elevations range from 3900’ to 5310’ above sea level. The ranch has rangeland/habitat areas exhibiting various Chihuahuan Desert ecosystems including desert scrublands, desert grasslands and desert mountains. Accenting the mountainous terrain are immense escarpments and spectacular canyons. Trees found on the ranch, predominantly in the canyons and drainages, include hackberry, evergreen sumac and flameleaf sumac along with other typical species of brush, succulents and grasses across the ranch. Another unique feature of the ranch is a large sinkhole or cave that begs further exploration. WILDLIFE Native Wildlife found on the ranch include mule deer, pronghorn antelope, scaled quail, Gambel’s Quail and the infrequently seen Montezuma Quail. Exotic wildlife found on the ranch include elk and aoudad. The property has been managed predominantly for wildlife with a limited feeding program and water distribution. AGRICULTURE The ranch has been used for livestock grazing in the past; however, at present the only cattle are some strays from a neighbor. IMPROVEMENTS Most of the improvements are located in the headquarters area on the northern portion of the ranch and about 3 miles in from the main gate. The owner’s home is a 3/2 metal sided residence with wrap around covered porch and carport in good condition. It is located on a hill just a short distance east of the operational headquarters. The manager’s home is an older modular 3/2 at the operational headquarters. The headquarters area also includes several barns/sheds, a shop, an equipment shed with a walk-in cooler, traps and working pens. There is another small barn and set of pens on the southern portion of the ranch (the Sloan pasture). WATER Groundwater is available in certain areas of the ranch from the West Texas Bolsons minor aquifer (we believe). There are 6 operating water wells. Most of the wells are about 700’ deep and the best ones are capable of producing 15-25 GPM providing adequate well water for ranching operations. There is an extensive distribution system to troughs and storage across many portions of the ranch. There are also numerous dirt tanks to capture and hold runoff for periods following a rain event. MINERALS Approximately 26,734+/- acres are mineral classified and the specific rights associated with state classified minerals will convey to the buyer. Seller will be reserving any fee minerals owned by the seller. ARCHEOLOGY Among other interesting things, the Wylie Mountains are home to a distinctive agate, referred to as butterscotch agate, that resembles butterscotch taffy and ranges in color from light brown and dark yellowish brown to moderate brown. OTHER In addition to the deeded acreage, the ranch also includes 1,109.5+/- acres of land leased from the Texas Pacific Land Trust. The white dashed line on our map indicates the general location of 470+/- acres of multiple smaller inholdings lacking accessibility. Please ask the listing Broker for more information.

In addition to the quality roads and drivable river access, the property is equipped with five very nice yet modest homes (including one historical), a shop, an equipment barn and several other updated structures. The unbelievably clear water of the Pecos River, rippling arroyos and active wildlife create an extraordinary oasis from the outside world.
WATER
The 9.25-mile stretch of the Lower Pecos River is a mesmerizing sight, featuring clear spring-fed waters, towering canyon walls and an incredible fishery. This secluded river corridor offers deep holes and small rapids, making it perfect for canoeing, kayaking, fishing, tubing, waterfowl hunting, wildlife watching, and simply exploring. Anglers can anticipate catching largemouth bass, sunfish, freshwater drum, catfish, and carp. The expansive river frontage provides unmatched beauty and endless opportunities for exploration, a feature rarely found on other ranches.
Distinctive aspects of the ranch’s riverfront are the conveniently located put-in and take-out points offering easy access to water activities. To the north is the Grapevine access point while the Live Oak access point lies to the south, both capable of driving a sports car to the river’s edge. 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, RANGELAND & HABITAT
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 canyonlands 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 & 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 world’s most awe-inspiring phenomena during the October migration.
ROADS
Access is one of the most crucial requirements for a property of this size and in this area. 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 day’s fishing or paddling distance apart. These top-notch roads make the ranch usable at a level that is hard to replicate.
HOMES & 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, a 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 floor plan and nearby small barn used for hunting vehicle storage. This home is conveniently near 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 a 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 ranch’s 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 & 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.
Seller’s fee minerals and commercial water rights are reserved but negotiable. Contact the Broker for more information.
TAXES
The open spaces of the ranch are being managed for wildlife and appraised under 1-D-1-Wildlife Management valuation.
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.

Ironside Mountain Ranch is a substantial eastern Oregon grazing and hunting property comprising approximately 14,935 deeded acres together with an estimated 20,500 acres of adjoining U.S. Forest Service (USFS) and Bureau of Land Management (BLM) grazing allotments. Located just west of the historic ranching community of Ironside, the ranch lies along the eastern flank of the Blue Mountains and features a diverse landscape of irrigated meadows, open rangelands, timbered grazing areas, and seasonal drainages.
