1,200 Acres in San Saba, TX - $4,740,000
There is not another ranch in San Saba County like this one! The Polk ranch has been in the same family since the original purchase was made in 1849, then more land was added in 1856. The scenic “spring-fed” San Saba River winds along the south side of the ranch for about 3.8 miles and there is very good access to the water and shoals in several places. There is one large stock tank and “Dry Creek” also crosses the ranch. Dry Creek is a seasonal creek and provides a good source of water for livestock and wildlife throughout much of the year. With the abundance of river frontage and the creek, a large portion of the ranch is productive bottomland of which about 150 acres are in cultivation. Giant pecan trees (about 3000+) are scattered throughout the river bottom and there is a blend of oak, elm, cottonwood, bull mesquite, white brush, and Texas persimmon over the rest of the ranch....

There are very few rocks and almost no cedar on the entire ranch. Something interesting and sometimes a breathtaking view lies around every bend in the road.
A tremendous amount of history lies within the confines of this ranch. There have been many Native American artifacts found scattered about the ranch and many more are just waiting to be found. A small family cemetery with dates of 1880 is hidden in the brush on top of a hill where there is a beautiful view overlooking part of the ranch. This area would also be an ideal site to build a home.
With Hwy 190 and CR 340 bordering the ranch for about a mile each, road access is very good. The availability of natural water and excellent tree cover provides the perfect habitat for all kinds of wildlife. There is an abundance of Whitetail deer, turkey, quail, dove, ducks, squirrel, feral hogs and just about any other type of wildlife that is native to the Central Texas area. Fishing is exceptional in the San Saba River and the shoal areas offer some great places to swim and play in the water.
The fences are in fair to good condition and there is one set of livestock pens. Other than that, there are no improvements on the ranch, so you can set it up just the way you want it. The Richland Rural Water Supply line runs from Hwy 190 and along CR 340 for about one-half mile. It is also available at Hwy 190 about ¼ mile from the NE corner of the ranch. There are no water wells on the ranch.
This ranch can be the perfect family or corporate retreat that offers just about any type of outdoor recreational activity that you can imagine. It is extremely unusual for a ranch to come on the market with as much river frontage as this one, so whether you want 600 acres or 1,200 acres, don’t let this opportunity pass you by
