This ranch features over 2,000 feet of year-round live water from North Grape Creek, flowing robustly even during the harshest droughts. This property represents an incredible investment opportunity due to its prime location, live water, and ag exemption.

Landscape

The property has over 130 feet of elevation change, offering expansive views of the North Grape Creek valley and the surrounding hill country landscape. The current owner has taken excellent care of the ranch, removing almost all of the cedar except for a few pockets in the back for wildlife habitat. Various hardwood trees, such as live oak, post oak, cedar elms, and pecan trees, cover the entire landscape. This area is known for having some of the best wildflowers in Central Texas. Since the cedar trees have been removed from the property, wildflowers are abundant in the spring, covering most of the landscape.

Water

Both sides of North Grape Creek run through the ranch, providing over 2,000 feet of live water. This creek is a testament to the strength of the springs, maintaining a steady flow even during prolonged droughts. The ranch also features additional seasonal water flow in other drainage areas.

The 30' easement road is lined with crushed granite and is in excellent condition.

Wildlife

The property is home to a variety of wildlife, including whitetail deer, Rio Grande wild turkeys, occasional hogs, gray foxes, and doves.
