San Saba, TX 76877(San Saba County)

Last year, the people of San Saba County fought the proposed CREZ lines and were successful in convincing the PUC that the huge transmission lines should not come here. Many other Hill Country counties did not fare as well. And, because the PUC favors future routes that follow existing rights-of-way, San Saba County has a good chance of escaping future CREZ initiatives.

Second, Valle Hermosa has lots of water.

Valle Hermosa is just over 100 acres and more than 10% of it is surface water. Theres an 8-acre lake with a fishing pier plus three smaller ponds. All are stocked and, if youll forgive the alliteration, the angling is absolutely awesome.

In addition, Valle Hermosa has almost one-half mile of Colorado River frontage. Valle Hermosa lies south of the confluence of the San Saba River and the Colorado River which means that the River here has more flow and is clearer than at any points north.

Third, Valle Hermosa has incredible views.

Three separate 1200 ridges cross the property. The Colorado Rivers elevation is about 1100 feet. So, theres about a 10-story difference between the elevation of the ridges and the river. From any point on the ridges, there are panoramic viewsviews of the draw where the lake and ponds are located, views of the main house from across the lake and views of the River Valley from the main house.

Fourth, Valle Hermosa is more than a ranchits a resort!

Valle Hermosa has an amazing array of living and recreational facilities providing the perfect venue for entertaining.

The Ranch Home was built in 2005-2006. It features dramatic open spaces, durable and elegant finishes, gourmet kitchen, spacious patios and a breezeway that doubles as an outdoor kitchen. The home has three bedrooms, two and a-half baths, a huge game room and bar and a private owners retreat on the second floor with a balcony overlooking the Colorado River. An in-ground pool with native stone waterfall completes the luxurious environment.

The resort also has several other residential facilities.

A recently-renovated three-bedroom, one bath cottage that includes a full kitchen, front porch, shady yard, carport and laundry facilities. This cozy home provides a perfect way to accommodate guests while providing them with freedom and privacy away from the primary residence.

A large bunk house with a stunning rock fireplace is furnished with three bunk beds that will easily sleep seven. Kids love this place.

A Cook House providing full bath facilities and everything you need to cook fish (or anything else you want) for a crowd.

The open space, large deck and various seating areas connecting these buildings provide everything you need to comfortably accommodate a large crowd.

The Ranch also has maintenance, storage and shop facilities. A separate structure provides facilities for horses.

Fifth, Valle Hermosa is ready to use right now with no modifications or improvements required.

Sure, everything can always be improved but this place has been meticulously-maintained, has everything you need for an extraordinary recreational experience, and is offered fully furnished (with the exception of a few family treasures) including the rolling stock.

Summary

While all of these features contribute to the value of this property, the synergistic effect of having all of them in one place creates something that cant be quantified or fully described. Drink in the sunrise as fog rises from the ponds, land a 5-pound Bass from your private fishing lake, watch the joy in a childs face as he gets his first taste of real freedom sleeping with his buddies in the bunk house (while you hover nearby, of course), or retreat to your private quarters away from everything you want to escape.
