| Property Description
If this Hill Country ranch could talk, what a story it would tell. Built in the 1860's, the ranch headquarters has been masterfully restored. The homes consist of 2,201 square feet of living space and have been updated with a keen eye towards preserving the historic qualities that were a trademark of a bygone era. The grounds around the headquarters are manicured and offer a park like setting complete with a spring fed pond that is ideal for fishing and swimming.
This well watered ranch features five springs including the main spring that feeds the headquarters pond. These springs are why this ranch was originally chosen, and founded, by JHL Behrens. A land surveyor, Mr. Behrens cherry picked this track as part of his compensation for surveying the area.
The topoghraphy ranges from oak-laden meadows with sandy soil to rocky hill tops affording panoramic views of Lake Buchanan and beyond. The ranch headquarters is situated at the confluence of the meadows and hills near the middle of the property. High fenced around the perimeter, the ranch has been well stocked with white tail deer. The hills, springs and oaks combine to create the quintessential Hill Country ranch. Located just west of Lake Buchanan, this property is only 15 miles from Llano and an hour and a half from downtown Austin.
