000 Goodnight Ranch

Extremely scenic, panoramic views and a diverse amount of wildlife. A rare opportunity to own the land once dominated by the Comanche Indians and where cattle herds were moved to the U.S. Forts down the Goodnight/Loving Trail. The ranch has a tremendous amount of recreational possibilities with its vast amount of landforms, topography and wildlife. This could be a fantastic opportunity for someone who wants to own their own private national park. Good population of Mule deer, turkey, aoudad sheep, quail and dove. ————When Charles Goodnight established his ranch on the Palo Duro Canyon in 1876, he did so in the confidence that the day of the cattleman had dawned on the southern plains. To the north, in this same year, the plains Indians enjoyed their last triumphs, at the Rosebud and the Little Bighorn, but, in the south, the former lords of the plains—the Comanche and the Kiowa—were no longer a threat. Charles Goodnight was, in that signal moment, the only lord of the west Texas plains. Other ranchers and many settlers soon followed, but Charles Goodnight had got there first. — Larry McMurtry
