16530 U.S. 377, Rocksprings, TX 78880 - Edwards County

The 278 acre Rocky Creek Ranch in Edwards County offers easy accessibility as well as plentiful exotic and native wildlife for hunting or just enjoying. Sitting just 7 miles north of the intersection of Highways 41 and 377 near Rocksprings, the turn-key ranch boasts about a quarter mile of frontage on Highway 377, a rarity in a county where access via easements and bump gates is common. The perimeter is completely high fenced.

The landscape rolls gently, but a ridge that rises about 2,100 feet runs through the middle of the property offering a 365 degree, birdseye view of the gorgeous Hill Country. The ridge top, which is flat and relatively brush free, offers a prime building site with the construction of a road. Currently, it is accessible by four-wheel drive and ATVs.

Native whitetails thrive alongside robust populations of axis deer, fallow deer and blackbuck antelope. The occasional wild turkey struts through. Hunting has been limited to family and friends. The native habitat is supplemented with corn feeders and alfalfa hay. All the feeders, deer stands, and bow stands convey with the property.

An Edwards water well is the primary source of water, although there is a pond and a creek that fill during wet periods. The ranchs water distribution system includes a 25 x 6 concrete storage tank that supplies three water troughs; two additional water troughs are supplied by the well to ensure the wildlife always has water.

The 1,800+/- square foot, three-bedroom, two-bath foot home, originally built in the 1930s from rock collected on the ranch, has been completely updated within the past four years, including adding a dining room and bathroom and installing granite countertops, new flooring as well as new central heat and air, insulation and new windows. The home has a front porch, another along the side, and a nearby cabana area for outdoor gatherings.

In addition to the home, the ranch features a complement of outbuildings. The 25 x 25 storage barn includes a concrete floor, electricity and water as well as a 20 x 15 awning offering covered parking for equipment. A 20 x 15 concrete slab outfitted with electric winches for game processing is adjacent to the barn. A 40 x 50 Quonset hut with a concrete floor and electricity is currently used as a storage and hay barn.

The Rocky Creek Ranch is a rare opportunity to own an easily accessible, turn-key recreational ranch in the western Hill Country. Stake your claim and claim your outdoor adventure.
