Luckenbach, TX 78624(Kendall County)

WATER: The Blanco River flows from large springs in the hills above this ranch, and begins to assume its famous, rock-bottom characteristics on this ranch, as there are several slabs one can drive across through the surging waters. Clear, cold water babbles beneath towering rock bluffs through a series of gravel/boulder rapids and interesting deep, clear holes, some of which are swimmable and floatable. Large boulders and rock shelves create streamside lounging areas, and grassy, oak-studded bottoms add to the park-like feel. There are several excellent dam sites along the 3,500+ feet of this waterway, which has not dried up since the 1950s according to area residents.

A rushing, spring creek also flows through the ranch for over 2,000 feet, and ownership controls both sides of this stream as well. Several clear holes punctuate numerous small waterfalls as this delightful brook winds its way to the river. Nice fishing lakes are being constructed just above the river plain, and are designed in the Ray Scott small bass lake genre. This creek has never gone dry per the old-timers, and has been the main source of water for the parent ranch for decades. Ample groundwater is available at about 400 feet. For more information on groundwater in this area, contact the Cow Creek Groundwater Conservation District at their website.

LAND: This classic layout includes frontage on FM 1888, one of the most scenic routes in the Hill Country, with a low hill in front sloping down to fertile bottoms along the river and creek. These deep clay-soil fields are lined and dotted with giant hardwoods, including oak, elm and pecan trees. The land rises to the south of the river up to a spectacular high hill with panoramic views of the surrounding valley and hills, then dropping off into a spectacular canyon near the southern boundary. Another pond is located near the SE corner of the property. Total elevation change on the ranch is over 240 feet from bottom to top.

Game is plentiful, and includes whitetail deer, axis deer, turkey, dove and varmints. Fishing is good for bass, catfish and perch in the river and soon to be in the ponds. The tree cover is just right, with ample browse available for deer, yet plenty of lush grassland and fields left for livestock. Current owners have manicured much of the ranch and upgraded road systems, creating a refined yet pristine look and feel.

IMPROVEMENTS: There are few improvements, other than a usable hunters shack, nice electric gate entrance, mostly good fencing and interior roads. There are many feet of beautiful, hand-built rock walls lining the main field.

SUMMARY: There are few ranches possessing all of the desirable characteristics of the Hill Country of such a manageable and affordable size on the market, especially with such a large volume of both-sides controlled flowing water. We urge you to schedule your viewing of the Diamond D Ranch today, as it is very likely that it will be gone tomorrow.

FINANCIAL: Asking $11,265/acre, cash to Sellers, who will provide basic title insurance and existing recent survey. Mineral transfer is negotiable. An unobtrusive electric transmission line (wooden H-poles) crosses the southern part of the ranch, and there are electric service lines as well. The ranch is located in the Blanco ISD. The ranch is under an ag-exemption.
