The topography across the ranch is notably diverse, with rolling grassland hills in the north transitioning to elevated mesa country in the south. Elevations range from 4,050 to 5,072 feet. The land supports a healthy mix of native grasses, oak, cottonwoods, juniper, mesquite, yucca, and other desirable forbs and grasses, creating both productive grazing and striking scenery. Fenced and cross-fenced into 21+/- pastures with approximately ten sets of working pens, the ranch is exceptionally well-improved for efficient livestock management.
At the headquarters, "The Casa" is a finely appointed four-bedroom stucco home featuring ensuite bathrooms, radiant-heat floors, and an expansive outdoor living area with views of Cathedral Mountain. Additional structures include a manager's home, bunkhouse, office, shops, barns, and roping arena, with a secondary camp supporting operations in the southern portion of the ranch.
Water is abundant, supplied by roughly 28 wells and an extensive network of water storages, pipelines, and drinking troughs, complemented by springs and seasonal creeks. The ranch supports diverse wildlife, including elk, mule deer, audad, mountain lion, black bear, game birds, and more.
Offering full mineral, livestock, and equipment conveyance, the Y Bar O Ranch stands as one of West Texas's most complete and turn-key legacy ranches-an unmatched combination of beauty, function, and long-term value.
