LAND & RIVER:

Exciting and balanced topography consists of smooth contours along entry road (2,000-3,000 feet for potential airstrip), sloping down 50' to 100' feet in elevation change along creek and river bottoms then back up 100' feet again on the north end offering multiple vantage points. Abundant in mature Live Oak, Spanish Oak, big Pecan and Elm trees, mesquite, cedar, native brush and a variety of grasses. Approximately 560 acres located on the south side of river and 704 acres to the north. Spring Branch Creek traverses through the south portion and feeds into THE POINT- a great pecan tree covered landing overlooking one of the two deep, wide holes of water on the ranch. Across this spot on the north bank is the eagle's nest- home to a pair of migratory bald eagles that are a feat to watch. Further upriver is the locally famous BLUE HOLE- spring fed with lovely falls over bedrock opening up to deep, aqua blue water. The river is very accessible here on low bank amongst huge pecan and elm trees. Setup camp, put your chair and feet in the water, cast a line or float yourself down nearly 2 miles of private waterfront. Swimming and splashing are encouraged as well. There is a natural, low water crossing along main road through ranch you can drive an SUV or truck over connecting the two sides. The downstream section varies from shallow rapids to deep shoals with a sound of flowing water. The San Saba River is year-round, with a flow rate 2nd only to the Llano and 6X the rate of the Pedernales rivers in this part of the Hill Country.

IMPROVEMENTS:

The kitchen and dining areas provide ample space for gatherings, while a large screened-in back porch offers the perfect spot for morning coffee or evening relaxation. Custom built with updates to siding and roof in 2017, the home sits on concrete slab with all-electric appliances, central heat and A/C.

Water Resources- The ranch is well-supported by two equipped water wells, including one that yielded 45 GPM when drilled at 300 feet deep. Eagle Point Ranch is positioned over the Ellenberger-San Saba and Hickory underground aquifers, ensuring reliable water access.

HISTORY: Situated in the Tri-County area of Mason, Menard and McCulloch counties, Eagle Point was once part of the historic Blockhouse Ranch, consisting of 27,000 acres and encompassing 15 miles on both sides of the San Saba River. The river here contains a known spring fed, deep hole of water called Blue Hole. During the severe drought of the 1950's, the reliable Blue Hole was one of the very few bodies of water to not run dry, thus saving livestock for many ranchers in area. The majority of the ranch, while split up over time is still owned by the descendants of Anna Martin (1844-1925). She was the first female bank president in Texas, only the second in the nation and future inductee to the National Cowgirl Hall of Fame in Fort Worth.
