Property Description
We are very excited and honored to offer for sale the Fortress Cliff Ranch. This beautiful property adjoins the Palo Duro Canyon State Park, which encompasses one of the more beautiful portions of the second-largest canyon in the United States. The ranch is located predominately along the northern rim of the canyon and shares a boundary with the state park for over five miles. The near vertical walls known as Fortress Cliff give the ranch its namesake. The property is fenced and cross fenced into two main pastures, the largest of which contains roughly 1,575 acres. This area contains all the structural improvements with fencing typically consisting of five-strand barbed wire supported by galvanized posts. The remainder of the ranch, about 395 acres, has been high game fenced with fences consisting of 8’ wire and galvanized posts. The fences, corners, and gates were very well built and are extremely sturdy. There are some small portions of the ranch that are not fenced along the boundary due to the nature of the topography in this area. Some areas of the ranch have been grubbed, with brush selectively sculpted and manicured for wildlife habitat and to create a picturesque setting. As is typical of the area, cover typically consists of mesquite and juniper with soapberry and hackberry trees being relatively common. Native grasses include buffalograss, as well as varieties of grama, bluestem, and tobosa. Grass turf is in very good condition throughout the ranch. Elevations on the ranch range from about 3,200’ to around 3,500’. A side canyon to the Palo Duro named Tub Springs Draw is the major topographic influence on the property. Tub Springs Draw was named by early-day cowboys for the spring-fed concrete trough located in the canyon. Remnants of this trough are still visible on a trail that descends the canyon. The Fortress Cliff Ranch offers panoramic views of the canyon and sunsets that are beyond the scope of one’s imagination. From the ranch, views of The Lighthouse, Brushy Butte, Goodnight Peak, Timber Mesa, Capitol Peak, Capitol Mesa, Castle Peak, and Red Mesa are possible. The Fortress Cliff ascends over 600’ from the floor of the canyon, where the Prairie Dog Town Fork of the Red River flows. Due to its diverse habitat, Palo Duro Canyon is home to a large variety of wildlife. Rio Grande Turkeys are common, as well as whitetail deer and mule deer, aoudad (Barbary Sheep), coyotes, bobcats, and many species of snakes and lizards. The varied habitat offers good bird watching as well. Golden and Bald Eagles are frequently seen in this area throughout the year along with many migratory species such as dove, geese, sandhill crane, and many varieties of ducks. Native and upland birds include quail, roadrunners, woodpeckers, and many others. Location and Access Access is provided by a very well-maintained county road that dead ends at the ranch gate. Drive time from Amarillo or Canyon would be approximately 35 minutes. There is…
