Lampasas, TX 76550(Burnet County)

The namesake for this winery, Pillar Bluff Creek, meanders through this ranch for approximately 1/2 mile. This is a seasonal creek that is lined with beautiful large live oak and pecan trees. The northwest portion of the ranch has an elevation of 1,140 feet and overlooks the fertile landscape along the creek where the elevation drops to 1,100 feet above MSL. This area is wooded including post oaks, live oaks, elm, hackberry, mesquite, and some cedar trees. There are several excellent homesites on the ridges between the deep draws leading to the creek. Approximately 50 acres on the south side of the creek consist of fertile Oakalla silty clay loam soils that were used to grow various crops in the past. This area has returned to a native mesquite habitat with a good turf of native grasses. Whitetail deer are abundant in this area of the ranch. It could be put back in production, planted in improved pasture or left as a wildlife habitat. Approximately 14 acres on the north side of the creek, along the FM road, is currently being used for hay production. A sizable portion of the ranch is located within FEMA 100-year floodplain. However, this area has not flooded since the construction of the flood control dam upstream, approximately 65 years ago.
