3,290 Acres Hidden Valley Ranch
Wallace Creek Road
Kerr County, Kerrville, TX 78028
In 25 years of marketing outstanding ranches across Texas, I believe Hidden Valley Ranch is the most unique property I have ever had the pleasure of listing. Owned and operated by the same family for over 40 years, this property offers some of the finest live water in the Hill Country. Bushwhack Creek and multiple hidden springs originate on the property, providing flowing water for nearly 3 miles, and feeding the thoughtfully designed water improvements highlighted by twelve lakes, waterfalls, and rocked walkways and bridges. Complimentary of the inherent beauty of this private Hill Country property, the extensive native stonework is truly amazing. Several homes are strategically located throughout the ranch, with some overlooking the various lakes on the spring fed creek and others situated with long range hilltop views. Paved roads wind through the ranch, weaving between the majestic oak trees on the rolling terrain that has been meticulously cleared of invasive juniper.

Water: This is one of the most impressive water features that I have ever seen on a ranch, especially with its consistent level and flow throughout this drought. Several strong hidden springs originate on the property providing flow for 3 miles. The upper end is natural flowing, very shallow clear water over limestone beds and small falls, while the southern portion flows for nearly a mile through a series of twelve dammed lakes crafted with beautiful rockwork, walls and bridges. Maintaining a constant water level, waterfalls flow from one lake to the next, flanked by towering Cypress trees along the banks. There are nine water wells.
Terrain-Vegetation: The southern 1,250 acres lie primarily in the creek bottom along the developed water features. Large Cypress trees are found along the banks of the Creek, while Grand Pecan and Live Oak trees surround the homes. The northern 2,000 acres is gently rolling terrain with large Post Oak, Live Oak, and Cedar Elm trees throughout. Most of this north end has been selectively cleared of invasive Cedar, offering wide open, pristine views of rolling land and an impressive stand of flourishing native grasses. Elevations reach 2,200.
Wildlife: This ranch has an abundance of wildlife with its large size, water, habitat and dedicated management practices. The north end is game fenced and has been managed for 20 years for Whitetail deer. Turkey roost along the creeks and light into the selected cleared areas. The water features provide excellent bass fishing and seasonal ducks hunting. Exotics and resident otter can also be found. The ranch is MLDP and has only been hunted by family and friends.
Minerals: Negotiable. No production on the property.
