Research Parcel InformationTerrain: This is Texas Hill Country at its finest. The property is nearly rectangular and elevations vary from 1640 to 1840. The hilltops afford dramatic views and tranquil valleys. Surprisingly, in addition to the typical juniper and oak cover that one would expect in this location there is very dense tree cover in the canyons which include black walnut, cherry, oak and plum. This heavy tree cover speaks to the underground water at the ranch. Much of the cedar has been cleared.
Size: 790 acres out of the historic Heath Ranch. The property is adjoined by a 2,250 acre ranch to the north, a 700 acre ranch to the south and a 550 acre ranch to the west. JR Circle Bar Ranch is also across from the Bamberger Ranch, Selah which is 4,600 acres.
Water: At the center of the property is a magnificent 3.5 acre spring fed and crystal clear lake built by one of the premier dam builders of Central Texas.

There are three spring fed ponds in addition to the lake and draws which carry water throughout the ranch.
