Canyon Creek Ranch

Canyon Creek Ranch

Location: Canyon Creek Ranch is located approximately one hour from Austin and San Antonio

and four hours from both Houston and Dallas. The quaint village of Wimberley is 15 minutes

away with nice shopping and dining. The property is in Hays County and less than 1 mile from

the Comal County line.

Description: The ranch begins with open pasture land that transitions off the Blanco River

bottom into rocky escarpments and mesas full of Texas red oak, cherry, walnut, cedar elms and

live oaks that have been estimated to be over 300 years old. From atop the Devil's Backbone

and Ranch Road 32 some ten miles away, across the cedar hills it is possible to see the open

grass fields and shiny tin roof of the horse barn on Canyon Creek Ranch. It is a beautiful piece of

the Texas Hill Country, diverse in many ways. A deep limestone canyon cuts through the ranch

and most of the year is full of clear and cold spring water.

Water: Honey Creek is located on the ranch (3300 of creek frontage). Running in the SW

pasture, Honey Creek is a strong-flowing creek that empties into the Blanco River and at the time

of this writing (March, 2018) has a steady flow. There are several low-flowing springs scattered

throughout the ranch. Two stocked ponds on the property make for great fishing, duck hunting,

swimming, or relaxation. The larger pond is supplemented from one of the 20+ gallon per

minute wells on the ranch. The 235 acre ranch is over one of Texas major aquifers, the Trinity

Aquifer, and the springs more than likely emanate from it. There are 4 water wells on the

property ranging from 20 -30 gallons per minute. Well logs available upon request.

Access: There are 2 access points to Canyon Creek Ranch. Both are directly off of Fischer Store

Road. The main entrance is through an electric gate.

Improvements: There are 3 main structures on the ranch that are in excellent condition.

Nearest the entrance of the ranch is the guesthouse; a 2 story, 1 bedroom, 1.5 bath, screened

porch, bonus room that could be converted into a bedroom, and a detached garage with walk-in game freezer. Secondly, the cabin

contains a large bedroom, bath, complete kitchen, living room and screened porch. Attached is

a party pavilion with roll up doors on both sides allowing the Hill Country breeze to move

through. Finally, a 4 stall, first class horse barn with 1 bedroom, 1 bath apartment with full

kitchen for guests or ranch/horse hands. There is also an office, a garden room with sink, and

separate bathroom in the horse barn. On top of the canyon there is a viewing deck and seating

area with a new well and electricity.

Wildlife: Under careful supervision of wildlife biologists since 1994, the ranch has nearly every

animal and bird species known in central Texas. Large flocks of wild turkey, mature whitetail

deer, dove, waterfowl, red fox/grey fox, jackrabbits, ring-tail cats, and occasional feral pigs can

be found. There are painted buntings and Eastern blue birds around the guesthouse to watch

and various birds of prey in the canyon. Over the years a pair of bald eagles comes to stay, likely

visiting from the Highland Lakes region up north. The University of Texas at Austin Biology

department has performed research in the canyon floor discovering several desirable plant

species previously unknown to be in the region.

Price: $4,600,000. 2017 Wildlife exempt taxes were $5,500.
