108 Antler Drive

108 Antler Drive, Fort Davis, TX

142+/- acre property with home provides commanding panoramic views of the Davis Mountains. The southern slopes of McIvor Mountain, with elevation 5,748 feet, encompasses the northern boundary of the property and seasonal Limpia Creek frames the southern boundary. It’s rare to find a property of this size and topographic diversity for sale in the Davis Mountains: rock faced mountain tops with roaming aoudad sheep, canyon with rock sentinels and a man-made dam dated 1920, grassland flats with a corral across from a seasonal creek. This gem is nestled between The McDonald Observatory and Prude Ranch located on the northwestern boundary of Limpia Crossing Subdivision in Fort Davis, Texas. A 1-D-1 Appraisal Wildlife Exemption is in effect.

The property to the north is a large ranch with a conservation easement and the ranch to the east is a remote part of Prude Ranch.

Developed with great care and stewardship by the present owner, the home is surrounded by native plant gardens sowed with seeds harvested from trees and native vegetation found on the property. Gravel pathways navigate through the gardens, to the 2,000sf barn and workshop or to the observatory equipped with a Ritchey-Chretien telescope.
