The River View Ranch consists of 1,588+/- deeded acres located in desirable Childress County, Texas. The ranch is approximately ten linear miles northwest of Childress and three linear miles east of Estelline. The ranch offers good access with frontage along County Road M. The ranch has a rolling to broken topography draining to the Prairie Dog Town Fork of the Red River, which fronts the south boundary of the ranch for approximately three miles. Elevated bluffs along the river offer unparalleled views of this dramatic and prominent drainage through the Texas Panhandle. Black Hand Cave, located just north of the river bluff, is a well-documented cave complex and great conversation piece, as it was reported to be a hideout of the infamous duo Bonnie and Clyde. The ranch offers an ideal mix of productive grasslands, brush, and treed areas for an excellent combination of livestock and recreational ranch property. The ranch is very well watered with two meters on the Red River Municipal Water Supply rural water system tied to eight drinking troughs and five earthen tanks. The River View Ranch is prime hunting country with quality whitetail deer, quail, dove, waterfowl, and a variety of varmints. The ranch has been meticulously maintained and operated as part of a larger ranch property. It is isolated with large adjoining ownerships to the east and north, the river on the south, and a sizable farming and ranching operation to the west. The property has no residential or significant structural improvements and is a clean, raw land tract waiting for a new owner's vision to make it their own.
