DESCRIPTION: This scenic river ranch has 3,022 feet of awesome and unbelievably beautiful frontage on the North Llano River. Access to the river is excellent as most of the property is on the low bank side of the river with a high bank on the opposite side. The water varies from fast shallow water to a wide and deep body of crystal clear water about 2,500 feet in length. The river is most compatible for fishing, canoeing, boating, swimming, and water sports. One picture is worth 10,000 words. Accordingly, please take a look at the aerial and ground snapshots attached to this brochure or log on to www.thorntonranchsales.com for a 16 picture scrolling snapshot slide show. In addition to the river this ranch has a multitude of highly desirable characteristics. Specifically, it is conveniently situated in a very good neighborhood less than a ten minute drive from the progressive little county seat town of Junction which is a summer playground destination for many tourists. Access is superb via 6,500 feet of frontage on a quiet, paved farm to market road that bisects the ranch. Privacy is assured as this land is completely surrounded by larger ranches. Other than the paved road described above there are no road easements through the property. The lay of the river front land is such that there are three tiered “bottoms” with deep rich alluvial soil, much of which lies within the 100 year flood plane. The first bottom provides easy river access and is populated with large pecan and elm trees. The second bottom supports an old cropland field and a majestic grove of giant pecan trees. The old field, about 40 acres in size, has not been tilled in many years. If so desired, it could easily be put back into cultivation by removal of a light second growth of trees and brush. This field would make an outstanding orchard, oat field or coastal bermuda grass hay field. The third bottom is on higher ground and would provide building sites that are not within the flood plane of the river. Additionally, there are four excellent food plots/oat fields located in the Headquarters pasture each of which is about three acres in size. The remainder of the ranch is much higher elevation land with awesome views that will take your breath away. In addition to the river the ranch is watered by three water wells and two or more good springs. A couple of the springs appear to be compatible for construction of dams to create spring fed ponds/lakes. There is an excellent internal road system on the ranch. The wildlife habitat is outstanding. There is a tremendous variety of trees including pecan, walnut, elm, mesquite, persimmon, cedar and spectacular live oaks. This ranch has been lightly grazed in recent years and the native grasses are in excellent condition. In addition to all the above, there is a beautifully restored old ranch headquarters house with a new metal roof, a good hunter’s cabin, barns, sheds, pens, and other improvements more specifically described below. If you have been searching for a pretty, high quality live water ranch located in a beautiful and scenic part of the Hill Country, this one could easily end your search.
