68.87 Acres in San Saba, TX - $895,000
Located at the end of a county-maintained gravel road, this ranch is home of one of the most beautiful and historic stretches of the Colorado River that can be found in Texas! With 3538 feet along the banks of the Colorado River, this ranch has more frontage than most ranches that are several times larger in acreage. Access to the river is as good as it gets in that you can drive right out on a gravel bar next to the water. There are two gravel bars on the river and water depths range from “ankle-deep” wading to deep swimming holes. The property is located downstream from where the San Saba River enters the Colorado, so there is always a strong flow of water there and the fishing is excellent!
This area is called “Harmony Ridge” and is one of the oldest settlements in San Saba County. The old “Chadwick Mill” dam that once diverted the river water to run a gristmill is still located...
This area is called “Harmony Ridge” and is one of the oldest settlements in San Saba County. The old “Chadwick Mill” dam that once diverted the river water to run a gristmill is still located there. This was a bustling meeting place for many years until the early 1900’s where the folks from miles around would bring their grain to be ground and, while there, a lot of socializing went on.
A beautiful log home sits at the highest point on the ranch. From the front porch you can enjoy the views of the surrounding countryside as well as the pastoral river bottom valley on this ranch. The home has 4 bedrooms and 3 baths, a “great room” with vaulted ceilings and rustic décor throughout. Large decks are on both the front and back of the home. There is also a “barn-style” yard shed near the house that is used for tool storage and parking plus another metal shelter for storing the farm equipment.
The land has about 40 acres in coastal bermuda grass and the rest is covered with magnificent Pecan, Oak, Elm, Cottonwood & Willow trees. Whitetail deer, turkey and other wildlife abound on this ranch.
The entire ranch is manicured like a park. It is divided into several pastures and the fences are in very good condition. A water well supplies water for the house and livestock. There is just too much to say about this beautiful River Ranch. You just have to make a personal visit to truly appreciate all there is to offer. Whether you are looking for a weekend retreat or a fulltime residence, don’t let this opportunity pass.
