Situated in the transition zone between South Texas Brush Country and the Hill Country, this 160 acre high-fenced hunting ranch features magnificent rolling terrain and elevated areas with tremendous views. Located about five miles north of Hondo and within an easy commute to San Antonio, Oak View Ranch offers endless opportunities.

The ranch has a gated entrance off County Road 341 that opens up to reveal a beautiful blank canvas to build your dream home or weekend hunting retreat. It features a variety of native hardwood trees and brush including mature oak trees, persimmons, mesquite, mixed brush and, best of all, hardly any cedar.

Oak View Ranch offers incredible hunting opportunities with species such as whitetail, axis, blackbuck, fallow, hogs and turkey roaming the acreage.

A new electric meter has been installed and the ranch is ready for a new water well to be drilled. Based on nearby well depths, an Edwards water well for domestic use is estimated at 450 feet.

Plum Hollow Ranch

Posted on: May 31st, 2023 by Byars Beau

This 160 +/- acres is located north of Chillicothe, TX, in Hardeman County. With a half mile of frontage on the gravel based Taylor Rd and asphalt less than 2.5 miles away, it has easy, year around access. Electricity and a Red River Water Authority line are in place, and a view from the back porch that never gets old!

LAND DETAILS:

The land is approximately half mile wide by half mile deep, and has a varied terrain with rolling sand hills. With solid cover across the place, deer have abundant bedding areas. Different trees include hackberries, junipers, mesquites and dense chinaberry motts. Lower vegetation includes tall bluestem and love grasses, sage, yucca, LOTS of sumac and wild plums. All of these trees and brush is what makes this property stand out from others in the area that have just mesquites. Low lying areas in-between hills create great locations for food plots or staging areas. A small seasonal pond is in the back.

The property is ag exempt for taxes. It has a barbed wire fence around its perimeter.

HUNTING:

Wildlife includes whitetail deer, feral hog, turkey and bobwhite quail, as well as predators like coyote and bobcat. I have sold multiple farms and ranches in this immediate area of the county and know first hand the hunting here. The current owner is a bird hunter, so he never ran his deer feeders much or used game cameras. The ranch will come with several spin feeders and a portable metal deer blind on a small trailer. During the photo shoot I saw a doe and heard bobwhites whistling.

IMPROVEMENTS:

On top of the tallest hill on the property, one of the tallest in the area, the owner put a 1997 Cairo trailer house, and built a big porch on it so you can really take in the views. This trailer has 868 sq ft, 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, electricity, rural water and a small septic system. He updated the trailer with a new metal roof, new flooring, interior paint and appliances. All of the owners kitchen appliances and furniture will convey, with the exception of a few personal items. He will also include his open cab tractor, shredder and two riding lawn mowers.

LIST PRICE:

$2,650/acre | $424,265 total

There are abundant building allowances with up to two residences of 10,000sf and more for barns and outbuildings. With generous allowances and building envelopes, the owner can build a sizable home/compound and barns, outbuildings etc. Its too much to unpack in this brief description so for specific details please refer to the attached Conservation Easement.

Refuge on the Llano

Posted on: May 31st, 2023 by Davidson Charles

In the heart of the Llano Granite Uplift – on the south bank of Llano River, is a magnificent ranch property offered for sale for the first time on the open market. The ranch encompasses 1,160 acres on the south side of HWY 152 (a very quiet rural 2-lane blacktop), along with 5.41 riverfront acres on the north side of the same road. The Llano River frontage here is as good as it gets – a cataract of whitewater rapids carves through a huge granite outcropping, then culminates in a deep, clear pool lined with massive boulders. Smoothed by centuries of flowing water, the rocks slope gently down to the water’s edge – providing more than a football field’s length of convenient access to the river – usable for guests of all ages and abilities. Hickory Creek, a tributary to the Llano River, is an exceptional water feature on the ranch as well. Hickory Creek runs through the center of the ranch for approximately 2 miles, flowing over a major granite outcropping at the downstream end that is picturesque and private. Hickory Creek flows full-time in many places on the ranch during normal rainfall years. In the springtime, the wildflower display on the ranch is nothing short of spectacular.

LOCATION
The ranch is located in Llano County, approximately 15 minutes west of the town of Llano, 1.5 hours west of Austin, and less than 2 hours north of San Antonio. The charming, popular, and unincorporated town of Castell is located 5 miles west of the ranch on HWY 152.

TOPOGRAPHY, RANGELAND & HABITAT
Approximately 80 million years ago, when the Balcones Fault shifted and the Texas Hill Country was born, the ranch and the surrounding area experienced a massive uplift of solid granite and other highly compressed rock formations that came from near the core of the earth. Over time, this phenomenon has created an entirely different ecosystem than the limestone formations and hills typical of most of central Texas. For millions of years, the granite in this area has eroded to create red sandy soils that are very fertile. These soils support the highest quality native vegetation for wildlife, with diverse brush species and enhanced habitat components. The juniper (cedar) trees that are invasive to much of Central Texas do not thrive here they dislike the soil. Instead, the ranch is covered with mature live oaks, post oaks, scattered mesquite trees, beautiful granite outcroppings, native prairie grasses, spectacular spring wildflowers, and a broad selection of brush that is excellent food and cover for wildlife. Multiple hilltop sites on the ranch present panoramic, horizon views.

WILDLIFE
White-tailed deer in this area grow larger than most of Central Texas, bobwhite quail can be plentiful in good rainfall years, and Rio Grande turkeys roost along Hickory Creek in very healthy numbers.

IMPROVEMENTS
A newly renovated master suite with full kitchen, master bath, and large attached shop/garage is located on the riverfront. Also newly renovated is the 2 bedroom cabin with full kitchen and bath. The riverfront includes 4 RV hookup sites, a large outdoor stone fireplace and concrete slab entertaining area, and domestic water well. South of HWY 152 there is a spectacular hilltop homesite with power and new water well just waiting for the ranch house of your dreams.

WATER
There are approximately 333 feet of Llano River frontage that is best of the best and approximately 2 miles of Hickory Creek within the ranch that flows year-round with average rainfall. The property has 4 windmills for livestock water and 2 domestic water wells with electric pumps.

MINERALS
Surface sale only.

AREA HISTORY
For centuries, the wildlife-rich Llano Uplift was inhabited and claimed by the Native American Tonkawa tribe. During the European colonization, the Comanche tribe displaced the Tonkawas and claimed the area due to their superior horsemanship skills. Today, artifacts dating back thousands of years can still be found in the area.
