LOCATION: This beautiful ranch is located about 6 miles NW of booming Boerne (box stores, restaurants, services, supplies) at the end of a Class 3 gravel county road, only 2 miles from Interstate Hwy. 10 at Nelson City. The area consists of a combination of ranchette-type subdivisions, and medium to larger recreational ranches. One can find all conveniences and most luxuries in Boerne, and there is a hospital with 24 hour ER.
The site is located...
The site is located less than 30 miles from Bass Pro Shop on the north side of San Antonio (international airport, medical center, universities, world class shopping and food), and the enticing Hill Country towns of Kerrville and Fredericksburg are each about a 30 minute drive. Austin is about 1.5 hours east.
The location is quiet and peaceful, yet very accessible to the rest of the world with enough proximity to development to allow for excellent future appreciation possibilities. For more info on Kendall County, go to [link removed].
WATER: This ranch contains the headwaters of Allen Creek, a spring-fed drainage that flows above ground in wet years. A stunning, 4 acre lake up to 28?? deep has been created in a setting of unequalled beauty and splendor. The backdrop of steep slopes and big hardwoods is reminiscent of a Rocky Mt. setting, and the blue water is visible from several high points on the ranch. There are several other smaller ponds, and the big one is stocked with bass and forage fish.
A small cave spring flows from a mysterious grotto all of the time, and there are several other seeps that hold water much of the time.
There are two water wells on site, one with concrete reservoir, and Glenrose water is found at about 350??, and the Trinity (Cow Creek) is found at around 600?? in this area. For further information on area groundwater, please contact the Cow Creek Underground Water Conservation District at [link removed].
LAND: Dramatic topography and scenery are hallmarks of this awesome offering, which flows down valleys from a peak of 1,875??, to a low point of 1,580?? where Allen Creek departs the ranch. Most of the valleys, and some of the ??top country?? have been tastefully cleared and planted in grasses, resulting in a manicured look that allows one to easily see the abundant quantity and quality of wildlife found here. This includes whitetail deer, axis deer, turkey and feral hogs. Waterfowl are often observed on the lake and ponds during the winter.
Vegetation includes awesome heritage liveoaks, Lacey Oaks, Spanish oaks, cedar elm, cedar and walnut trees. Cover is regarded as ??superior?? for wildlife habitat and viewing, and a smooth road system allows for excellent penetration of most areas of the ranch. Agarita and persimmon are the primary shrubs, and a good mix of native and introduced grasses, weeds and flowers add to diversity.
The ranch is currently run as a light-duty hunting and ecotourism operation, grossing about $16,000 in 2012, and there is a customer list available. [link removed]
IMPROVEMENTS: Two rustic but clean cabins will sleep upwards of 12 total, and the compound is graced with a nice outdoor patio, firepit and cooking areas, overlooking a nice large field at the mouth of the main valley. There are several small outbuildings as well.
A superior interior road system has recently been installed, and perimeter fences are fair to good.
