Inks Ranch has a history dating back to the original Republic of Texas land grant given in 1837. Within sight of Enchanted Rock, the ranch features terrain ranging from rocky granite uplifts to fertile bottomland along the drainage of both Sandy and Helms Creeks. This is a working cattle and hunting ranch, with Corriente cattle, mouflon sheep, aoudad, and ibex. Trails will likely be shaded much of the day, and will wind past amazing rock formations, through heavy pecan bottoms, and up through peaks with stunning views of the Texas Hill Country. Primitive only. Ranch house may have a few rooms available. May have 8 covered stalls available. Bring water.
