At the centerpiece of the ranch is a 130 year old, 3,000+ SF, two story home with 4 bedrooms/3 baths, plantation style home, built from the propertys own limestone quarries, and restored from top to bottom and expanded by the current owners. At the back of the home is a wonderful covered patio with views on some of the ranch's most beautiful century oaks. In the background you can see the facilities which house the vast deer breeding herd which the ranch is well known for; although a good distance from the home, these antlers are such in size you dont need binoculars to know these are trophy quality deer.

A commercial grade kitchen allows the ranch staff to the ability to prepare and serve memorable meals to their guests.

Premier Ranch has established a breeding program over the years by incorporating genetics that produce the finest quality of deer found anywhere. Ranch facilities include the breeding pens and working pens where deer can be handled with ease and care to insure their safety.

The ranchland, as vivid an example of Texas Hill Country magnificence as one could imagine, is comprised almost entirely of smooth and softly rolling oak parklands and pasturage with an occasional rock outcropping, the entire ranch is game fence with 8 high fence and even has an 8 high cross fence. An intricate system of watering and feeding stations has been carefully placed in strategic locations in conjunction with planted food plots so that game is evenly distributed across the ranch.

In addition to providing food plots for the game on the ranch, there are several areas of improved pastures of coastal Bermuda which are utilized by the cattle raised on the ranch. Near the ranch headquarters is a set of pipe pens for working, sorting and shipping cattle. Also nearby is a first class shop area along with storage for the equipment required to maintain a property like this.

This is perhaps the finest ranch to come on the market in what is absolutely the sweet spot of the Hill Country. Shown by appointment only, please do not trespass.
