What makes this river offering particularly unique is that the entire 3 miles of river is easily viewed, accessed and enjoyed from a scenic ranch road that runs alongside or near the river bank for most of its 3 miles. The road meanders through forests of pecans, elms, burr oaks, live oaks, and red oaks that line the river and carves through numerous canyons and amazing rock formations, including at Picnic Bend where Wilkerson Draw empties into the San Saba River and at Billy Hole where Cedar Hollow empties into the San Saba River. Several sandstone/limestone bluffs along the river offer dramatic and panoramic view.
Many areas along the river have been cleared to create numerous park-like settings underneath towering pecan trees where one can enjoy the river and the tranquility. The recreational areas opportunities along the river are endless swimming, tubing, rope swinging, kayaking, canoeing, fishing, biking, hiking, birding, arrowhead hunting, stargazing, picnicking and camping. The magnitude and accessibility of the river on this ranch is like having your own state park to explore and enjoy all to yourself.
Away from the river, the ranch offers typical Northwestern Texas Hill Country terrain with gently rolling hills, native rangeland with an excellent cover of Live Oaks and other hardwoods. Scenic, distant vistas abound from many spots on the ranch. Wilkerson Draw and Cedar Hollow Draw traverse through the ranch providing unique and dramatic character and relief to the topography of the ranch and creating several seasonal natural ponds and creeks. Three stock tanks provide year-round water for wildlife and livestock. The ranch offers excellent hunting for deer, turkey, hogs, dove, waterfowl and varmints.
An extensive road system provides easy access to all areas of the ranch and the river. The entry to the ranch is off of Turkey Barn Lane about 2 miles SW of FM 2092 and several miles N of TX. Hwy. 29 in between Mason and Menard. The entry road into the ranch is an all-weather red granite road that leads to a system of hard-packed caliche roads throughout the rest of the ranch.
Perched on a bluff overlooking the pecan-lined San Saba River is a 2 bedroom river cabin with an outdoor rock patio area and fire pit. Other ranch improvements include a water well (340 feet deep at 80 gal/min.), good perimeter and cross fences (high fence on northern boundary), and two sets of working pens.
Owner owns 100% of the mineral executive rights and interests, subject only to insignificant royalty reservations. Owner will convey all mineral executive rights and interests owned.
This rare opportunity to own over 3 miles of the San Saba River is priced to sell and will not last long. Owner will also consider dividing into multiple tracts. Call Tyler today to see this San Saba River crown jewel before it is too late.
