an Horn, a small town in West Texas, sits at the doorstep of a hidden gem: the Wylie Mountains. This 33,000-acre ranch, known as the Wylie Mountain Ranch, has been listed for $27.2 million, or approximately $824 per acre. The property spans desert grasslands and canyons, offering breathtaking vistas that turn a deep shade of red at sunset.
The ranch is home to an array of wildlife, including mule deer, elk, aoudad, and various bird species. It also features diverse habitats, from desert brushlands to flowering canyons, as well as a largely unexplored sinkhole or cave. The Wylie mountain range reaches 5,300 feet above sea level, making it an attractive destination for outdoor enthusiasts.
Van Horn's history is marked by its quiet charm and storied past, including the infamous standoff between Charles Harrelson and police decades ago. Today, the town appeals to those seeking solitude and adventure. Other notable Texas ranch listings include the 3 Creeks Ranch near Fredericksburg, priced at $42.5 million, and the Four Seasons Ranch, listed for nearly $19 million.
