County Road 308 , Llano, TX 78643(Llano County)

Improvements: The improvements complement the size of the property. The recently renovated original historic 4-bedroom, 2- bath home has an open concept kitchen, dining and living area that are great for entertaining, updated bathrooms, and a front porch with calming long-distance views. Next door to the main house is a 700 s.f. apartment with 1-bedroom, 1-bath that sits atop a workshop and a separate storage room. An equipment barn and separate cedar-lined storage building are also a short walk from the main house. Surrounding the residences is a lush, well-maintained lawn with a recently installed 45-stage water sprinkler system. All perimeter and cross fences are 7 years old, 5-strand barbed wire and are in excellent shape. The land is divided into 11 different pastures each having a water source for rotating cattle. Additional improvements include a metal hay barn that is 40 x 100 feet and old cedar cattle pens.

Water: This ranch has excellent subsurface and surface water which is unique for Llano County. The highlight of the surface water is the 7 acre, 25 feet deep Coleman Lake which offers great bass fishing and duck hunting. This impressive lake has continued to hold water even through the worst of the drought. Additionally, there are five stock tanks scattered throughout the ranch, most of which are supplemented by one of the wells. Spring Branch Creek traverses the property for 1.6 miles. This seasonal drainage runs water during wet times and holds pools of water after heavy rainfall. 4 water wells provide water throughout the ranch. The house well is a solar well that feeds the 30,000 gallon house cistern, circa 1875. There are miles of 1.5 Schedule 40 PVC lines buried throughout supplying several of the earthen tanks and the numerous water troughs. Subsurface water is definitely not an issue here.

Elevation: There are incredible views with elevations ranging 1,040 feet ASL to 1,244 feet ASL. On the top of these high hills you can see all the way across to Horseshoe Bay, which is over 12 miles away.

Vegetation: The property has been selectively cleared to enhance the habitat for wildlife and cattle. Beautiful fields are strategically designed throughout the property. Large Live Oak and Spanish Oak trees are found throughout the property and are lined along the banks of the creek along with Cedar Elm and Hackberry. There is plenty of cover for wildlife consisting of White brush, Persimmon, Agarita, Cedar, Mesquite, Prickly Pear and others.

Wildlife: The ranch has an abundance of game due to habitat management and the distribution system of water. All of the fields create edges which is an attraction for game. Large trees and lighting areas allow for good turkey habitat. The tanks and lake provide good bass fishing and seasonal duck hunting also. Wildlife includes Whitetail deer, turkey, hogs, quail and dove. Free ranging exotics such as elk and Mouflon rams have been seen on the property.
