OX Canyon Ranch

OX Canyon Ranch spans 7,274+/- acres in Northwest Texas and has remained in the same family for more than 80 years. Once part of the historic OX Ranch, established around 1880, the acreage carries a cattle ranching legacy that spans generations. The land has no oil or gas wells, and the sale includes the owned mineral estate to help protect the surface.

Scenic bluffs rise above deep canyons and wooded draws. From the highest overlooks, views extend more than 20 miles, reaching as far as the Childress water tower on the horizon. Seasonal Owl Creek meanders for more than four miles through the southwestern acreage. Large cottonwoods and chinaberry thickets fill its deep valleys, while mature mesquite and dense underbrush provide cover for whitetail deer and abundant hogs. Farther north, mule deer frequent the rugged canyons and secluded draws. Jackson Creek begins on higher ground to the east and runs 1.5 miles north, creating a wet-weather travel corridor for wildlife. Numerous stock ponds and six solar-powered wells supply water for cattle and game.

A current lease keeps OX Canyon Ranch in operation as a working cattle ranch. Cross-fencing divides the acreage into 11 pastures, each with its own water source, and approximately 60 miles of interior roads provide access throughout. Native pasture covers the entire acreage, with no cultivated cropland, and provides forage for cattle and habitat for game.

Headquarters sits in the south-central portion, where an older ranch house and a manufactured home currently serve as hunting cabins. A meter south of the property supplies rural water while a generator powers headquarters. Electrical service is available within a mile of the ranch. Several smaller traps sit beside the large barn and pipe working pens. On the east side, a second set of pipe working pens and traps provides another place to handle cattle.

The hunters own the manufactured home, along with the existing blinds and feeders, which are negotiable separately from the sale. No wind turbines are visible from the ranch, leaving the canyon views open to the horizon.
