Property Description
1,070± acres of low-fenced Texas hunting country where the work has already been done. Established blinds, feeders, cleared senderos, reliable water infrastructure, and abundant native wildlife make Butterfield Canyon Ranch a true turnkey hunting operation.
Few ranches offer the combination of hunting, history, and accessibility found here. Part of the original LB Harris Ranch-once reported to encompass nearly 200,000 acres-Butterfield Canyon Ranch has remained under the same family ownership since the 1870s. For more than 150 years, this land has been carefully stewarded, creating a rare opportunity for the next owner to inherit a genuine Texas legacy.
Located just 9 miles south of Robert Lee and 15.5 miles north of San Angelo, the ranch features over 1.6 miles of Texas Highway frontage with excellent year-round access. Rolling terrain, productive clay loam soils, mesquite flats, native grasses, and diverse browse create ideal habitat for whitetail deer, turkey, quail, dove, and javelina.
For the hunter, this ranch is ready on day one. Cleared shooting senderos provide excellent visibility and shot opportunities, while strategically placed blinds and feeders are already established throughout the property. The water system includes a working well, large storage reservoirs, pipeline-fed drinkers, and earth tanks that help support wildlife and livestock year-round.
The headquarters area improvements include a historic ranch lodge with guest accommodations, entertainment area, bar, cold room, game-processing facility, shop, foreman's house, and barn. Existing cattle pens and mostly new fencing provide additional livestock opportunities above and beyond the recreational options. Whether you're searching for a private hunting retreat, family legacy ranch, or long-term land investment, Butterfield Canyon Ranch delivers a rare combination of scale, history, wildlife, and turnkey functionality.
Simply arrive, settle in, and hunt.
