Valhalla Ranch is an exotic game ranch with both sides of river frontage on the Salt Fork of the Brazos River, multiple water wells, a rainwater collection system, and all the necessary components for a family getaway, entertaining clients, company retreats, or any buyer looking for a private game preserve to enjoy with family and friends. Stocked with a well-managed variety of exotic game and trophy-class whitetail deer. A low-maintenance, all-steel construction barndominium-style lodge serves as the headquarters for the ranch and is perched on the mesquite-covered sandy plateau above the river, overlooking a big, empty horizon with a sense of seclusion. The lodge is fully furnished with all the modern comforts. The land feels like a combination of parts of South Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, and the rolling plains. The diversity of wildlife makes each tour of the ranch a unique experience. Finding a property with the variety that this place offers is not impossible, but it is very special in this region.
The Valhalla Ranch is the definition of a ready-to-operate game ranch that encompasses all the diversities of Stonewall County in one ranch and brings a tamed modern comfort to the rough and rugged canyons and rolling plains surrounding the area. The terrain varies throughout the property, providing ideal habitats for each species and creating distinct hunting opportunities depending on your location. Sandy plateaus support a strong quail population, while open fields planted in sunflowers attract migratory dove. The landscape transitions from these open uplands to rugged canyons accessible by winding switchback roads, and finally to thick brush country along the river, showcasing the property’s remarkable natural diversity and scenic beauty. Primarily set up for a family getaway, entertaining clients, company retreats, or any buyer looking for their own private hunting preserve to enjoy with family and friends. The ranch is complemented with a low-maintenance, all-steel construction, six-bedroom, four-bathroom Barndominium-style lodge. Perched on the mesquite-covered plateau above the river, the lodge is fully furnished with all the comforts of home. It features a large open living/kitchen area, a large outdoor kitchen, and a covered patio. An attached insulated equipment shop/laundry and mud room make it a functional headquarters. With the drastic increases in the cost of construction and in the current market, ranches like this one are in high demand and create the opportunity to buy cheaper than you can build.
In comparison to other ranches in the area, Valhalla Ranch is by far first-class, and highly diverse in terrain, wildlife, and improvements. I believe it is a well-above-average place and, most definitely, an opportunity to buy for less than the cost of building a comparable property.

Stonewall County, located in Northwest Texas, was named in honor of Confederate General Thomas J. “Stonewall” Jackson. Established in the late 19th century, the county lies within the North Central Plains region, southeast of the Caprock, and encompasses 926 square miles of rugged Texas Rolling Plains. Aspermont, the county seat, is situated near the center of the county and became an important hub for ranching and agricultural activity in the area.
Historically, the region’s landscape—characterized by rolling plains, mesquite-covered hills, and rugged canyons—played a vital role in shaping early settlement and ranching operations. Prominent natural landmarks such as Double Mountain, Kiowa Peak, and Flat Top Mountain served as navigation points for Indigenous peoples and later for explorers and settlers moving through the area. The county is traversed by two main branches of the Brazos River—the Salt Fork and the Double Mountain Fork—which provided early water sources and fertile bottomlands for agriculture.
By the early 20th century, Stonewall County had become a center for farming and ranching, with cattle, cotton, wheat, and other crops driving the local economy. In 1982, 94% of the county’s land was in farms and ranches, reflecting its deep agricultural roots. Over time, the discovery of mineral resources such as gypsum, sand, gravel, petroleum, and natural gas added to the county’s economic base, complementing its long-standing ranching heritage and shaping the character of this historic West Texas community.

Two water wells on the property provide fresh water to a system of troughs. In addition to the wells, a rainwater collection system is in place, providing water to the lodge and featuring a 2,500-gallon storage tank that collects water from the lodge. Two other man-made ponds have been stocked with fish on multiple occasions over the years, as well as the river, providing additional surface water. The river can be dry seasonally, but typically has a small trickling flow. The river is the Salt Fork of the Brazos River and generally contains a high salt content, and typically does not support fish. Animals and livestock will drink it when it is flowing, but when it stagnates, the salt content can get too strong for wildlife or livestock to rely on for drinking. Therefore, the ponds and water wells have always provided sufficient water to support the ranch.
Based on past years, the annual real estate taxes are estimated at $11,000, with a wildlife exemption currently in place.
Hunting the diverse terrain and canyons, regardless of the high fence, is a challenge. The animals have an unbelievable amount of cover and safe harbors in the countless draws and ravines feeding to the river. Hunting at Valhalla is no “canned hunt” experience. You can sit for days without finding the target animal simply because they can elude with dense cover and treacherous terrain. Simply taking a safari-style ride around the ranch to view the whitetail, elk, and listed exotics can be just as thrilling or challenging as trying to locate the different species and catch a glimpse of them individually.
This count is believed to represent 70% of the animals on the ranch: 32 whitetail bucks and 38 does, two axis deer bucks and 12 does, six bull elk and 12 cows, one gemsbok antelope bull and one cow, two oryx antelope cows, two skimbok antelope bulls and three cows, one ram and one zebra.
