Living Water Ranch Road , Harper, TX 78631(Gillespie County)

WATER: Sitting on both the Edwards-Trinity and Hickory aquifers, this property is in a location where live water and springs are plentiful. There are two underground sources that feed the water on the property...one just past the west boundary and the second originating on the ranch and actively flowing. In the recent years of drought, the water level has not changed. There are two large dams that contain the water, one that you drive across upon entry onto the property and another further West. Booth sides of the water are on the ranch, offering control and privacy of all areas surrounding. There is no well on the property currently but wells in the area are good.

ACCESS: Access to the ranch is paved and through a gated entrance at the main road shared with 5 other property owners. There are large acreage owners that border the East, West and South property lines...137 acres to the East and a 520+ acre ranch that borders the South and West property lines.

RESTRICTIONS: Restrictions are in place for the property owners that use the gated entrance to ensure quiet enjoyment for everyone...no subdividing, no commercial use, and no B&Bs are allowed.

TERRAIN: The 85-acre property has a mixture of higher elevated acreage and a lower parklike setting surrounding the water. The upper elevation acreage has multiple build-sites with hill-country views overlooking the water as well as natural areas of cover left to encourage wildlife. The property is in a wildlife exemption program. The lower elevation has been improved and well-maintained with manicured edges along the water for maximum enjoyment of the setting. Some floodplain exists on the lower portion of the property, but minimal considering the amount of water that is present...believed to be because of the spring-fed nature of the water source.

IMPROVEMENTS: A large covered concrete pavilion (Approx. 45 x 85) sits along the water and was once the popular Beau Hickeys...a local hangout and gathering place. Although it hasnt been used in many years, there are restrooms, a kitchen and stone smoke pit inside the structure. With a little love, this could be the perfect place for family gatherings. CTEC electric service runs along the South and West fence lines of the property out of obvious view from the preferred sites. In addition, there are three additional underground CTEC boxes located on the property.
