About this property

Paint Rock River Ranch is a rare 1,551 acre offering just north of Paint Rock in Concho County, Texas, combining paved access, beautiful Concho River frontage, productive ranch use, strong recreational value, and a direct connection to one of the most significant Native American pictograph sites in the United States. With U.S. Highway 83 forming the eastern boundary and paved FM 1929 forming the northern boundary, the ranch offers excellent access, visibility, and long-term flexibility. The property features approximately 2,800 feet of accessible and usable Concho River frontage, creating outstanding recreational appeal for fishing, kayaking, exploring, and enjoying the river corridor. The river frontage ranges from shallow, gentle rapids to deeper, calm stretches. The land is mostly flat to gently rolling, with the most noticeable topographic change occurring toward the south near the river, where limestone bluffs, panoramic views, and elevation change add character and charm to the ranch. One of the most unique features of Paint Rock River Ranch is its immediate proximity to the famous Painted Rocks, the very landmark from which the town of "Paint Rock" derives its name. Located immediately adjacent to the ranch boundary, the Painted Rocks share the same bluff system as the property, giving this ranch a prime location in this historically rich and culturally significant area. Few properties offer this combination of size, access, river frontage, and such a meaningful historical setting. The ranch is well-suited for both livestock and recreation, with good native grass, mesquite brush, fencing, cross-fencing, water troughs, and a couple of ponds already in place. The brushy cover, grass, surface water, and river frontage create a strong habitat mix for wildlife while still supporting grazing use. An existing hunter's camp includes electricity, water, and plumbing, providing a functional base for weekend use, hunting, or future improvements. Hunting is a natural fit for the property, which boasts an abundance of native Texas wildlife, including whitetail deer, turkey, dove, quail, hogs, and other small mammals. The mix of mesquite cover, river bottom, natural springs, ponds, troughs, and open pockets of native grass gives the ranch strong year-round recreational value. The property is served by public water and benefits from access to multiple water sources, including Millersview-Doole water service and the O.H. Ivie water pipeline, which traverses the ranch underground and provides water access points. There is no current production on the property, and mineral rights are negotiable. Paint Rock River Ranch offers the scale and utility of a working Concho County ranch, the recreational appeal of usable river frontage, and the rare historical significance of being immediately adjacent to the Painted Rocks. With paved frontage on two sides, existing ranch infrastructure, and strong long-term potential, this is a standout land offering in the Concho River country.
