$13,231Historic Pedernales River Ranch. Steeped in Texas history and stewarded by the Paul family since the 1950s, this extraordinary 39.66-acre ranch has exchanged hands only three times since the original Texas land grant of 1836. Rarely does a property with such heritage and potential become available, offering a rare opportunity to create your vision in the heart of the Hill Country. Currently Agricultural Exempt, the land is fully fenced and features sandy loam soils that support multiple grazing pastures as well as level building sites perfectly suited for a homestead, ranch headquarters, or future development. The topography is mostly flat with gentle elevation changes that slope toward a Pedernales River slough, where you’ll also find the unique and storied “living cave.” Walking access down to the slough provides both scenic beauty and recreational opportunity, while higher ground outside the partial floodplain ensures there are plenty of usable sites for construction. The property already has a water well in place, with a septic system needed for future improvements. Stands of mature oaks and cedar trees are plentiful, dotted with the occasional native cactus, all set against a backdrop of iconic Texas sunsets. With only very light, seller-imposed restrictions, the land maintains a high degree of flexibility, allowing for both residential and commercial uses. Whether your vision is a private ranch retreat, an agricultural enterprise, or a commercial endeavor with deep Texas roots, this property offers unmatched versatility, natural beauty, and a legacy that stretches back to the earliest days of the Republic.
