Property Description
EXCEPTIONAL HUNTING!!! and WILLING TO DIVIDE. This ranch has been in the family for many decades and used primarily as a working cattle ranch. It has been leased out for cattle grazing and hunting for the past several years. The ranch is conveniently located about 7 miles east of San Saba in San Saba county. An all-weather gravel county maintained road provides access along the west side and comes to a "dead end" at the northwest corner of the property, so privacy is great.
This ranch can be divided into two parcels of similar acreages. The divided price will be $3,200 per acre.
The ranch is located near the San Saba River, but does not have frontage. It is as close as about 200 feet from the river at one point. As the elevation climbs away from the river bottom, the terrain becomes hilly and more rugged. The tree and brush cover varies from extremely dense to moderate and consists of Live Oak, Post Oak, Elm, Virgin Cedar trees, Juniper, Wild Persimmon, Mesquite and much more.
There is one good stock pond on the ranch and a couple of other seasonal ponds. There are no water wells on the ranch, but neighboring ranches have wells and the likelihood of drilling and hitting a water source is good. The seller says he will guarantee well water, or you don't have to buy the ranch!
Electricity is located across the county road from the NW corner of the ranch and service can be brought to the property.
There is a functional set of livestock working pens. The fencing is in fair to poor condition.
A railroad track borders the ranch on the north side. The track is a spur line from Lometa to Brady and is very lightly travelled with a train speed limit about 20 mph or less. It is somewhat of a novelty and conversation piece. It is currently not running, due to track repairs in progress.
This ranch needs some TLC and attention, but could be groomed to your liking, or just leave as is. There are some really nice building sites for a home or cabin. The ranch offers great privacy with exceptional views & hunting. Be sure to put it on your list to see and let us show it to you, so you can make an informed decision.
