Property Description
This 355 acre hunting ranch sits in a part of Edwards County that has built its reputation on hunting, and it comes with the improvements already in place to hunt it the season you take ownership. Access is direct off Cedar Creek Road, also known as County Road 350, giving the ranch county road frontage rather than relying on an easement across a neighboring property. The ranch is approximately 12 miles west of Highway 55, which puts it well back into the country while still keeping you on a county maintained road the whole way in. The drive out Cedar Creek Road is one of the prettier approaches in this part of the Texas Hill Country, winding through the canyons and oak covered valleys of the southern Edwards Plateau before you reach the gate. The terrain is where this ranch separates itself. Elevation on the property ranges from 2,060 feet to 2,240 feet, roughly 180 feet of change across 355 acres. That kind of relief in a tract this size means ridges, draws, and side canyons rather than one flat pasture, and it produces the long views this country is known for. Higher ground on the ranch opens up across the surrounding valleys and neighboring ranches. For a hunter, the topography does real work: game moves through the low country and the draws, and the elevated ground gives you natural vantage points to sit above it. This is rugged, rough country, and it hunts like it. The property carries low fence boundaries, so wildlife moves freely across the ranch and across the neighborhood. This part of Edwards County holds a strong population of free ranging exotics, and hunting free ranging exotics on low fence ground is a different experience than a high fenced hunt. The ranch also benefits from larger neighboring ranches, particularly to the north and east, which means less pressure, more room for game to hold, and a buffer against the kind of small tract subdivision that changes the character of a hunting property. The current ownership has managed this ranch for hunting rather than letting it sit idle. Multiple hunting blinds and feeder setups are already established and positioned around the property, so a new owner steps into a program that is already running instead of starting from scratch. The ranch is also wildlife exempt for property tax purposes, which keeps the annual tax burden low as long as the qualifying wildlife practices continue. A buyer should plan on maintaining that management going forward and should confirm the current exemption and transfer requirements with the Edwards Central Appraisal District. The best improvement on the ranch is the shop, approximately 40 feet by 50 feet. It is a solid, functional 2,000 square foot building with plenty of room for equipment, side by sides, and gear. Three hunter's cabins, or bunkhouses, provide simple, practical accommodations for a hunting party. The cabins are basic compared to the shop, but they mean you have a place to sleep on day one. There is also material and equipment on site to high fence the property if a buyer chooses to do so. Utilities are in place. The ranch has a water well and electric service, which is the difference between a raw tract and a property you can use immediately. Water, power, three cabins, a shop, blinds, and feeders are already here. For a buyer looking for a hunting and recreational ranch in the Texas Hill Country with county road access, meaningful elevation change, established hunting infrastructure, low fence exotics, a wildlife exemption, and good neighbors, this Edwards County property is worth a look.
