Grasslands, Oak Juniper woodlands and Cedar Elm deep bottoms provide a diversity of wildlife.

Improvements

The Futuro House is a fiberglass structure resembling a 1960s flying saucer, and the Dome, another fiberglass home with a large deck overlooks thousands of acres of protected City of Austin Conservation Lands. A new asphalt driveway provides a sense of arrival and winds beautifully through the property leading to your choice of building sites. There is a 2 bay garage with an automotive lift, Tesla charging station and additional workspace located near the Dome. Additional improvements include:

Three portable storage buildings

Several strategically located cattle troughs

Centrally located cattle trap and pens

Four Automatic gates along paved roads

City of Austin Water tap and Wastewater tap

Miles of water and wastewater lines installed

One water well and two more permitted under the terms of the conservation easement

The City of Austin holds a Conservation Easement on the entire ranch. It was carefully negotiated by the current owner and allows the ranch to be divided into two properties with substantial improvements allowed on each parcel. Water and Wastewater lines are buried in place to provide City Water and Wastewater if desired. The recently repaved one-mile drive and extensive ranch road system provide a sense of arrival and access to all of the property including Bear Creek. The Ranch has an active Agricultural Valuation Classification.

Water

The ranch has two existing water wells that serve the existing improvements as well as Livestock and Wildlife troughs. Two additional wells are permitted. Water and Wastewater pipelines are in place on the ranch and are available for immediate use for additional improvements. The property encompasses both sides of a short section of Bear Creek that, for several generations, has been used as a watering and swimming hole.
