193 acres offered at $3,390,000. This property is historically signifcant and this portion of the ranch was selected by early settlers for it's available water and outstanding soils.....This ranch offers an exceptional combination of Pecan lined creek bottom, diverse trees, canyons and hilltops providing wonderful views: essentially sampler of the hill country all in one package. The mineral rights are included and the property is just outside of the Dripping Springs ETJ. The property remains unrestricted and unzoned at this time. Of note, Harry Huntt Ransom, of University of Texas fame owned this outstanding ranch for many years.

Ranch improvements: There is over a mile of hand stacked stone fence dating back to the 1800's. The stone fence is in remarkable condition and is perhaps one of the largest to be found in the area. The property has two fenced areas for horses including a round pen. The barn has 7 stalls plus a tack room and is approximately 12 years old. One edge of the barn has an extended roof line to keep equipment out of the weather. There are two outbuildings as well. With the right offer the 50 horsepower tractor and it's implements will remain.

Schools: The ranch is served by the Dripping Springs ISD which is highly rated. There is a bus stop right in front of the property.
Soils: The lower portion of the ranch offers amazing topsoil. I have personally dug a hole to 30 inches and encountered very few rocks. The upper shelf offers very stable soils ideal for foundations.
