Montell Creek is one of the most spectacular creeks in the Texas Hill Country, as well as one of the largest spring fed creeks in the Upper Nueces River Basin. The creek flows over limestone cliffs, through two crystal clear lakes and meanders through a scenic canyon for over one mile. The creek is fed by a series of springs that trickle into the limestone creek bottom. The creek is lined with cypress, sycamore, and willow trees. In addition to Montell Creek, this ranch has water wells located in the central-west part of the ranch, and water well supplied water troughs that are scattered throughout the ranch. These bountiful water sources furnish drinking water for wildlife and livestock.

IMPROVEMENTS:

After a scenic drive through the long narrow canyon along the edge of Montell Creek, youll find the Lodge. The spacious two-story Lodge is located in a quiet secluded canyon on the edge of Montell Creek. The lodge has four bedrooms, three baths, large open living area, kitchen with dining area, bar and CA/CH. The living area is enclosed with glass and offers magnificent views of the canyon, creek, and hills. From the comfort of the warp-around deck, guests can enjoy the sounds of nature the flowing of water cascading over the water fall, breezes gently drifting through trees and birds enjoying each season.

This is country living at its best. Across the road from the lodge is a two bedroom two bath guest house with CA/CH. A breakfast nook opens to the front porch. A perfect little cabin for your overflow! Up the canyon on the side of a hill is the Casita.

The Casita was the home of the legendary bear hunter William Bill Wells. The exterior of this historic home has not been disturbed. The interior of the Casita has been remodeled with cedar trim and stone cabinet tops from the ranch. The home is one bedroom, one bath, living area with fireplace, kitchen with small dining table, and CH/CA. This old historic bear hunters home is a favorite hang-out for the younger generation.

COMMENT:

Falling Waters Ranch is an historic ranch nestled in the canyons along the southern edge of the Balcones Escarpment, a giant geologic upheaval which formed the Rocky Mountains of Texas. FWR joins the enormous Silver Lake Ranch along its west boundary. Location, large neighbors and terrain have left this ranch relatively undisturbed. Some of the ranch has been cleared of cedar and has open vistas with tree covered hills. The flora colors during the fall are spectacular, especially along Montell Creek.
