Solar | Cabin | Scenic Country

Shadow Ridge Ranch offers the kind of seclusion and rugged scenery that draws people to this part of West Texas. Consisting of 112.57 acres in Val Verde County near Comstock, the property is located approximately 12.5 miles off Ranch to Market Road 1024 onto Blue Hills Road, placing it deep enough in the country for privacy while still within reasonable distance of town conveniences.

A cozy cabin of roughly 260 square feet sits on the property and is powered by solar panels that provide electricity to the structure. It is an inviting retreat for weekend getaways, hunting trips, or simply spending quiet time off the grid. The current owner intends to leave existing hunting blinds and feeders in place, allowing a new owner to begin using the property immediately. There is also a solar powered shower setup onsite that will convey with the property.

The ranch has not been hunted in several years, as the present owner has primarily enjoyed it for its scenic value and solitude. This area is well known for its wide-open landscapes, dramatic ridges and canyons, and strong recreational appeal. The property lies within a well-established subdivision that provides access to a community water source and water can be hauled to the property using water totes.

The Verde West Property Owners Association is active, with dues of approximately $150 per tract annually. These funds support maintenance and improvement of roads, community wells, and other shared subdivision features. The property is under a Wildlife Management plan that allows the land to maintain an agricultural valuation, significantly reducing the property tax burden. Annual taxes were approximately $115 for 2025.

The surrounding terrain supports an impressive mix of native and free-ranging exotic wildlife. Whitetail deer are plentiful, and the area is known for axis deer and aoudad moving through the canyon country. Turkey, quail, dove, and songbirds are common sights, and other native species such as bobcats and foxes inhabit the region, with the occasional mountain lion reported in this rugged landscape.

The natural breaks, ridges, and sheltered canyon bottoms provide bedding areas and travel corridors that enhance both wildlife viewing and hunting opportunities. This property is also well suited for those who enjoy hiking and exploring the natural terrain, with plenty of open space to roam and take in the surrounding scenery.

Vegetation reflects the transition between the Edwards Plateau and desert brush country. Cedar, mesquite, persimmon, sotol, cenizo, prickly pear, and occasional live oaks in the higher draws and plateaus give the land its distinct character. This diverse mix of browse and cover creates excellent habitat and food sources for native and exotic game. The blend of open views, broken canyon land, and thick brush gives Shadow Ridge Ranch the classic West Texas feel private, weathered by time, and ready for the next owner to enjoy in the same spirit.
