Dripping Springs, TX (Hays County)

WATER: The ranch has ¼ mile frontage on spring-fed Onion Creek, a major waterway bisecting northern Hays County. This area of the creek flows much of the time, and the water on this tract is wide, clear and deep, the result of a downstream dam that creates an impressive lake. The lake dwindles during drought periods, but is awesome when fully charged, offering wonderful swimming, floating and fishing opportunities.

A new water well has been drilled on site, and groundwater is available from several aquifers in this area from depths of 250’ to 650’. For further information on groundwater, contact the Hays Trinity Groundwater Conservation District.

LAND: The ranch offers a very slight roll from a high point of 1080’ to the north, down to creek bottom of 1020’. Hill views are had from several locations, and there is a dramatic bluff along the south side of the creek bank, creating privacy for this parcel’s creek frontage.

Two draws bisect the site, one of which offers highly fascinating rock outcrops, hardwood canopy and lush understory, with seasonal water flow. Old growth cedar can be found in several areas, and the entire ranch is sprinkled with mature oak & elm trees. Several nice pecan trees are found in the creek bottom, along with the customary sycamore, walnut and redbud.

The soil is primarily clay loam, and there are areas suitable for tillage or improved grasses. Overall, the site would be rated as an excellent potential horse or other registered animal farmstead. Native grasses thrive in the deeper

soils, and woody shrubs and forbs support excellent populations of whitetail deer, turkey, varmints and songbirds.

IMPROVEMENTS: The site is fenced and has solid road infrastructure, with new water well awaiting service, and there are no other improvements.

FINANCIAL/TITLE: $14,750/acre, cash to Seller, who will provide current survey and basic title insurance. Seller will convey all owned mineral rights. The property is subject to a Conservation Easement, which restricts the site to no further divisions, as well as other covenants crafted to preserve the natural attributes of the ranch forever. The site lies in the highly-regarded Dripping Springs School District, and current open-space property taxes are estimated at $252.00.
