This spectacular turn-key, live water ranch is in northeastern Blanco County, just 40 miles to downtown Austin, the state capitol.  The highlight of the ranch is the jaw-dropping Pedernales River frontage which offers year-round recreation.  The freshly minted main house is situated on a central hilltop offering long-distance unobstructed views of the surrounding countryside.  Simply put, this is one of the finest large live-water ranches we have ever had the privilege to bring to market!

Additional structures include a stand-alone workout barn, river cabana with full bar, and an enclosed wood barn with game cleaning station and lofted living space complete with a full bath and kitchen.  There are almost 4 miles of newly paved roads, providing comfortable access to all of the improvements, and a high-fenced perimeter.

The 1.3 miles of Pedernales River frontage forms the southern boundary of the property, featuring a 20-acre natural lake, known as Lake Lester, with cascading rapids at each end of the lake.  The ranch has good groundwater with 5 water wells which service the improvements plus multiple tanks and water troughs that are scattered across the property.

Gently rolling “usable” terrain has easy elevations. and has been meticulously cleared allowing for native grasses to flourish, dominated by gorgeous Live Oaks and other hardwoods.  The views from almost every corner of the ranch are nothing short of spectacular, with no neighboring roof-tops in sight. The owner has brought in superior South Texas whitetail deer genetics to establish the trophy herd which has been under expert management.  There is also a healthy population of native turkey, birds, and other wildlife.

This ranch has a landowner-friendly, negotiated Conservation Easement on it to protect the property in its natural state, and is also surrounded by large ranches with conservation easements, ensuring that this expansive area will be kept wild and protected for generations to come.
