The 47-acre, low-fenced ranch, which fronts on White Oak Road, sits near the headwaters of the Pedernales, so the river runs clear, year-round. In places, the river flows into deep pools perfect for swimming and fishing, while in others its fast-moving and shallow ideal for wading or whiling away hot summer afternoons.

The river bank is lined with heritage oaks, pecan and elms. Along its course, sites for camping and picnicking, have been cleared, providing a peaceful respite and easy access to the sparkling water.

The land, which features native Hill Country habitat ranging from live oaks, cedar and mesquite to endemic grasses and wildlife-sustaining browse plants, rolls gently. The elevation rises about 100 feet from the river bottom to the highest point.

The ever-present water attracts white-tailed deer, wild turkey, feral hogs as well as free-ranging exotics. Hunting has been limited to family and friends. The current owner rotates cattle through the ranch to manage the vegetation and maintain the agriculture tax valuation.

The 3 bedroom/2 bath house finished with stucco encompasses 1,850+/- square feet and overlooks the river valley. An open kitchen and dining area makes gathering easy. The living room is anchored by a fireplace. The metal roof was installed in 2020. A domestic well drilled to 125 feet supplies the house.
