Rising from the crossroads of three ecoregions of Texas, this extraordinary Hill Country ranch is conveniently located along Highway 127, as well as paved FM 2960, and surrounded on three sides by the famous 15,000-acre century old Annandale Ranch, home of the Frio Bat cave, protected by permanent Conservation Easements.Dripstone Ranch is uniquely located in the geographic transition area between the rugged Hill Country Balcones Fault, the Chihuahuan Desert, and the leveling topography of the South Texas Brush Country. Ranching and nature come together here, with areas of wildlife habitat and river,combined with agricultural areas designed into improved pastures, irrigated fields, and amazing ranch infrastructure. The ranch name comes from the famous karst limestone caves below it, where the historic owners rite of passage was swimming in the Edwards Aquifer.
Dripstone features a complete and carefully-designed Conservation Development Plan which embraces the natural resources and the amazing beauty through designed home sites. Protected views, common areas, a hotel complex, a farm-vineyard, and designed ranch tracts aim to maximize the economic potential of the ranch while embracing its ecological function. The Conservation Development Plan has been ground-truthed by consultants and engineers, backed by economic feasibility studies, to show the highest and best use for the new owner, be it a developer or a buyer who may want to place a Conservation Easement on the ranch.
The ranch can be divided into several districts: Frio River, Dripstone cave hills, ranch and farm headquarters, and a conservation reserve. These diverse areas combine to make Dripstone Ranch truly one-of-a-kind.
