ECOREGION: ROR is located in the ecoregion of the Edwards Plateau Woodland. It contains the central part of the Edwards Plateau and receives sufficient rainfall to support woodland. The Edwards Plateau region comprises an area of central Texas commonly known as the Texas Hill Country. It is a land of many springs, stony hills, and steep canyons. The region is home to a whole host of rare plants and animals found nowhere else on earth. Average annual rainfall ranges from 15 to 34 inches. Rainfall is highest in May or June and September. Soils of the Edwards Plateau are usually shallow with a variety of surface textures. They are underlain by limestone. Elevations range from slightly less than 100 feet to over 3,000 feet above sea level. Several river systems dissect the surface, creating a rough and well-drained landscape. The limestone of the Edward's Plateau is honeycombed with thousands of caves. Beneath the eastern edge of the Plateau lies a hidden world of underground lakes known as the Edwards Aquifer. This precious water resource also is home to a number of curious creatures, such as the blind salamander. Today, the Edwards Plateau is characterized by grasslands, juniper/oak woodlands, and plateau live oak or mesquite savannah. Open grasslands and savannahs were more common in pre-settlement times than they are today. The grasslands of Ecoregion 30a are considered a southern extension of the mixed grass prairie, expressed as tallgrass or shortgrass dependent upon soil type, moisture availability, and grazing pressure. Grasses include little bluestem, Texas wintergrass, yellow Indiangrass, white tridens, Texas cupgrass, sideoats grama, seep muhly, and common curlymesquite. Ranching is the primary agricultural industry in the region. For more information, visit the Texas Parks & Wildlife Department's (TPWD) official website.

WATER: The ranch is served by one new water well, believed to be rated at 50 gpm, at a depth of 320. The headwaters of Iron Rock Creek pass through the northern portion of the site, flowing seasonally into a small pond that could definitely be improved upon. Another substantial drainage crosses the SW portion of the ranch, offering yet another impoundment opportunity.

For further information on area groundwater, please visit the Hill Country Underground Water Conservation Districts official website. The annual rainfall at this location is 33.15 inches.

LAND: The site is gently rolling, falling from north to south with almost 150 of elevation change. There are deep, dark clay soils in the drainages, which transition to caliche with minor gravel outcrops on the gently sloping hillsides. Minor shoulders offer homesites with sweeping views to the south and east.

The hallmark of this offering is the consistent cover of live oak and Spanish oak over the entire property, with a high percentage of healthy trees, easy on the eye. The tree cover provides sustenance and protection for wildlife, which include whitetail & axis deer, blackbuck antelope, turkey and a few dove/quail here and there.

IMPROVEMENTS: The property is fenced, has the aforementioned water well, and has pasture roads providing basic access.

SUMMARY: If you seek land for a potential showplace, smack dab in the big middle of the hottest wine/spirits play in the USA, you will not find better value than ROR. This place has enough size for real privacy, but is not so large it will require micromanagement. The combo of good highway frontage, tree cover, view homesites and manicured feel are unsurpassed, and the location formidable. We welcome your interest, and offer qualified broker previews.
