A rugged Hill Country county, Edwards County is anchored by Rocksprings, its small county seat. Established in 1883, it has a history of sheep, goat, and exotic game ranching. Today, the county is extremely rural, with rolling hills, limestone canyons, and ranchland. Hunting and recreational properties are major draws. The nearest larger city is Del Rio (about 55 miles south). Housing is limited: small ranch houses, cabins, and modular homes dominate. Prices for existing homes usually range $120,000–$220,000, while recreational ranchland averages $2,500–$6,000 per acre, depending on location and improvements.
