The area is known for its scenery and seclusion, while being in the shadow of one of the most dynamic growth areas in the country. Once known as Angora Goat country, this zone is now dominated by improved recreational ranches and stock farms of several hundred acres and up. Adjoiners range from 100 acres and up in size, with one acreage tract subdivision adjoining to the northeast. For more information on either Blanco or Kendall Counties, please visit their websites.

WATER: The site features several canyons that flow water seasonally, along with several sterling lake sites awaiting development. Several gorgeous ponds are found throughout the ranch, one of which never goes dry (per manager), in beautiful, private settings. A short section of heavy-flowing Falls Creek cuts thru one corner for several hundred feet. A focused surface water development program elevates this ranch to the next level!

Groundwater is rated excellent in this area, with abundant, sweet water available at 400-500 depth. There are three functioning water wells on the ranch, and additional data on area groundwater is available at Blanco-Pedernales GCD and Cow Creek GCD.

LAND: A good variety of hills, canyons and gently sloping pastures comprises the bulk of WBR, which falls from N to S with about 250 of elevation change overall. The dramatic hills offer stunning homesites and viewpoints overlooking the picturesque Blanco River valley below. The look is refined (think Napa Valley), yet rugged, with various species of oak dominating the landscape, with little to no cedar to be found.

Deep canyons have creeks lined with heritage oaks, cedar elm, walnut and some pecans. Shrubs include persimmon and agarita, with native and introduced grasses such as Indiangrass, bluestem, switchgrass and kleingrass, and native turfs. The abundant wildlife includes whitetail deer, a few exotics, turkey, dove and varmints. Feral hogs are found in this area as well, but not in epidemic numbers.

Soils are primarily stony clays in higher elevations, and silty clays in the more level areas. There are small sections of the property suitable for cultivation or food plots, and a large grass field is located in the southern tip of the site.

IMPROVEMENTS: The site is lightly improved, with the main structure being a metal hunting lodge of 4BR, 4BA, comprising about 1,800 SF, located near RM 1888. There are some grain storage bins and old outbuildings in the vicinity of the hunting lodge, none of which have significant value. Ranch fencing and cross fencing is mostly fair to good, and there is some high fencing along part of the N boundary. Ranch roads are unimproved but passable, and an old airstrip along Maenius Road was last used in the early 1990s. You are definitely not paying for someone elses impractical improvements here!

SUMMARY: If you seek quality, unimproved land in bulk at high value, with impeccable location, WBR should be on your short list of prospects. This blank canvas has that clean Lindendale look, due to grazing by Angoras decades ago which virtually eliminated the cedar but preserved the oaks. The combo of scenery, water development potential, location, dramatic homesites with a tad of fertile land is second to none. We appreciate your consideration, and welcome your inquiries, and hope to see you soon.
