The David Ranch is a 153 +/- acre, perimeter fenced, spectacular Hill Country treasure. The Main Home sits atop one of the higher spots on the ranch, offering long-range views from many vantage points of the home. The inspiring home fits perfectly into the Hill Country landscape and was designed by Mell Lawrence, an award-winning architect. The David Ranch Home is one of Mr. Lawrences showcase properties. Through the middle of the property are flowing springs that divide into several ponds providing a private park-like setting. The David Ranch is located in the renowned Champee Springs Ranch area, just minutes from IH-10 and approximately 12 +/- minutes to the heart of downtown Boerne. Abundant wildlife roams the terrain and sightings of several animal species are very common. The property has some of the best hardwoods we have seen with various species and an abundance of Blue Lacey Oaks. The recreational aspects are endless with opportunities to hunt, fish, hike, explore or take a relaxing dip in the impressive pool.

LAND

Once a part of the 11,000+/- acre renowned 711 Ranch, the David Ranch has been well taken care of and it shows throughout the property. With elevations ranging from 1,730 +/- to 1,960 +/-, the property has a large size feel and roll to it. The extreme care the owners have implemented to manage the water resources, land and wildlife extensively are evident. Under a wildlife management program for ag valuation, the owners practice good land stewardship. Numerous springs start on the ranch and run throughout, eventually into Cibolo Creek. There are many fern grottos with seeps and other stronger springs that feed several nice ponds stocked with fish. The land is spectacular and feels like you are in a wildlife park as you traverse the well-groomed roads.

A walk down the picture-window glass hallway leads to the the spacious master bedroom and spa-like master bath retreat. The guest quarters with bedroom and bath as well as loft area bedroom and bathroom complete the home. The inviting, spacious back patio overlooks the pool where the endless views welcomes you outdoors.

A separate 690+/- sf mother-in-law quarters is located near the main home and pool area.

For other equipment and tools there is a 1,450+/- sf equipment barn with three glass pane roll-up doors. Another building that is currently being used as a plant workshop/greenhouse could easily be converted into another guest quarters, workshop or studio.

WILDLIFE

The ranch has been extensively managed for wildlife with Axis, Blackbuck, white-tail deer and turkey. The ranch is under a wildlife exemption and the owner has installed numerous birdhouses throughout the ranch to enhance the bird population.

WATER

With the many springs and several ponds on the ranch, the water is a special asset. A grotto filled area on one of the springs has a dam and makes a tranquil spot for exploring. A water well supplies water to the improvements, garden areas and water troughs for the wildlife.
