In 2000, the Walkers purchased the storied 1300-acre Bleakley ranch in Dripping Springs and donated a conservation easement on the entire parcel to the Nature Conservancy and now stewarded by the Hill Country Conservancy, one of the most prevalent land trusts in the area. Now the heart of the ranch, at ~307 acres, completely surrounded by minimum 100-acre conservation-restricted property, is available in two parcels:
There is literally nothing like it.
The epitome of seclusion and privacy, future owners can have complete confidence that they will never have a subdivision as a neighbor.
While the easement forever protects this jewel of nature, it does not prohibit the owner from building and enjoying the land. There are abundant building allowances with up to two residences of 10,000sf and more for barns and outbuildings. With generous allowances and building envelopes, the owner can build a sizable home/compound and barns, outbuildings etc. Its too much to unpack in this brief description so for specific details please refer to the attached Conservation Easement.
The 208-acre tract is highlighted by friendly topography with high lookouts and forever views. The building envelope has a home site that will offer 360-degree views. This acreage has beautiful rolling terrain with wonderful live oaks covering and canyons with springs during wet weather. Wildlife is abundant with whitetail and turkey in numbers; quail, fox, armadillo, porcupine, coyote, kestrel, red-tail hawk, great horned owl, badger, squirrel, painted bunting, dove, and even the occasional bobcat can be seen here. Natures best display is on this property! The property is accessed from McGregor and has an easement access from Bell Springs Road. There is a trap shooting range and established roads to get around the property. Minutes from Austin, this gorgeous acreage provides a remarkably secluded setting to build your dream home.
