The Zodiac Ranch is located in the heart of the Texas Hill Country. Unique to this ranch are dramatic views and bluffs that have been carved out over centuries by the river. Many areas of the ranch have more than 100 feet of elevation change. The topography of the ranch gives the feeling of the ranch being twice its size. Along the river bottom and the bluffs you will find arrowheads and ancient artifacts remaining from the Comanches and Lipan Apaches that inhabited the area in the 18th and 19th centuries. Among the ranch, the valleys and the meadows, you will see an abundance of live oaks, post oaks, juniper, pecan and mesquite trees. In the spring the ranch is covered in a blanket of wildflowers, predominately bluebonnets, sunflowers and indian paintbrushes dominate the landscape.
