Recreational Land for Sale in Dryden, Texas

Quail Ridge Ranch This 205.44-acre property lies in the heart of remote West Texas, positioned south of Dryden, north of the Rio Grande, and within easy reach of Sanderson, the Terrell County seat. It is part of Indian_Creek Ranch, a vast and rugged 15,000-acre subdivision known for its dramatic landscape, quiet seclusion, and long-standing reputation as a destination for hunting and outdoor recreation. Indian_Creek Ranch is divided into individually owned tracts, yet the community maintains a shared connection to the Rio Grande, where landowners enjoy access to a designated common area for fishing, swimming, kayaking, and relaxing along the river. Roads throughout the ranch vary in condition, and some areas require 4-wheel-drive, adding to the remote, backcountry character of the area. This particular tract benefits from a wildlife exemption that significantly reduces annual property taxes--2025 taxes were just $53. The land offers a blend of rolling terrain, brush cover, and natural habitat, with a wet-weather creek running along the eastern side. These changes in elevation and pockets of seasonal water create a diverse environment for wildlife and add scenic interest across the property. Wildlife commonly found in this part of Terrell County includes mule deer, whitetail deer, quail, dove, aoudad, javelina, wild turkey, coyote, gray fox, and the occasional mountain lion. Vegetation is characteristic of the West Texas desert, featuring mesquite, sagebrush, desert willow, native grasses, and a variety of cacti. Some tracts in the subdivision also make use of community water wells, water lines, or storage tanks, as the region has limited natural water resources. Indian_Creek Ranch Landowners Association (ICRLOA) oversees the shared amenities and road system within the subdivision. Annual dues are approximately $150 per owner and help support road maintenance and general improvements. The subdivision maintains a few guidelines to preserve its recreational and residential character, including restrictions against commercial operations and commercial hunting. One residence is permitted per tract, and hunting is reserved for landowners and their invited guests. Overall, this property combines peaceful solitude, striking terrain, abundant wildlife, and access to the Rio Grande--capturing the timeless appeal of West Texas ranch country. *Buyers brokers must be identified on first contact and must accompany buying prospect on first showing to be allowed full fee participation.
