San Saba, TX (San Saba County)

This 436 +/- acre ranch located on the banks of the Colorado River has it all. It is the ideal income and recreational property....ranching,hunting, fishing, hiking, swimming, 4 wheeling, exploring, and relaxing can all be enjoyed here. This is a true "Hill Country" ranch with the added bonus of beautiful Colorado River frontage (over 2700 feet) lined with deep water pools for excellent fishing and deep swimming holes. Large sandstone boulders have fallen into the river over time producing an awesome effect and excellent fishing opportunities. Spaced along the high bluffs there are 3 separate trails that provide vehicular access to the river. Descending to the river from the high standstone bluffs you pass huge boulders, rock shelters and solid rock formations with mixed vegetation creating a breathtaking setting as it gently slopes to the banks of the Colorado. A grassy bench runs the length of the river frontage and provides excellent fishing access, multiple shaded campsites and picnic areas. There are several wonderful, tree shaded spots to choose from for an ideal permanent riverside camp. From several sweeping vantage points on the high bank above you can see for miles and enjoy phenomenal Texas sunsets. Bisecting the western boundary of the ranch is a deep, long canyon with tree-lined hills and rock outcroppings. Tucked in the bottom of the canyon is a beautiful crystal clear spring fed pond offering water for the wildlife. Numerous small spring fed pools line both draws cutting through the canyon bottom. A road winds down from the top of the canyon taking you into its depths and leading out to the river bottom where you can drive along the river bank. At the base of one hill near the river are additional live springs. The ranch has rolling terrain covered in live oaks, post oaks, red oaks, mesquites, elms, hackberry, and other native brush with some pecan trees along the banks of the river. A rugged draw with a solid rock bottom in several places along its path winds through the property. In addition to the spring fed pond in the canyon there are three additional ponds scattered over the ranch. The numerous draws and terrain offer several possibilities for small lakes throughout the ranch. The interior of the property holds several cultivated fields that currently contain a mix of native and improved grasses. They can easily be converted to excellent wildlife food plots or remain in grasses for livestock grazing. With the river frontage and an abundance of game including deer, turkey, hogs, wild goats, dove, and quail. This is truly a hunting and fishing paradise. The views on the ranch are awesome. There are no words to describe them…..you need to experience them for yourself.
