Hill Country Ranches

admin — Wed, 16 Mar 2011 13:19:36 +0000

One of Texas’ most treasured features is its Hill Country located in the central part of the state and owning a piece of it is like owning a piece of heaven. Many people think of Texas as a big desert or a dusty plain but Texas is one of the most diverse states in America. Hill Country ranches can vary from valleys with bubbling creeks to hilltops grandly displaying the countryside. Some of the most coveted Hill Country ranches even feature broad, clear limestone rivers such as the Pedernales, Frio, Comal or Blanco rivers. Common wildlife on Hill Country ranches includes whitetail deer, axis deer, turkey and feral hogs. Ranches in the Hill Country can range from just 20 acres to 20,000 acres but they all have common features of rolling limestone hills and broad oaks. Many people see the non-native ash juniper more commonly called a “cedar” as an invasive species on Hill Country ranches but the mature trees have become home to the endangered golden cheeked warbler and black-capped vireo. Protecting these species through conservation easements is one way owners of Hill Country ranches can gain tax benefits and protect the land from over development. Owning a ranch in the Hill Country offers a place to escape the stress of everyday life and experience a little bit of unspoiled nature. Visit our web site to see our Hill Country Ranch offerings.

Onion Creek

This property is no longer for sale. Thank you for your interest!

Sometimes extraneous issues force us to think outside the box when it comes to possible land uses. Our 27 acre pasture-raised egg farm listing is a perfect example of that. At first glance, this property seems like a golden opportunity – 27 acres on some of the best live water in the area and 9 minutes from downtown Austin! The only problem? It’s 90% in the floodplain and there’s really only room for one home on the property. Instead of calling this beautiful piece of property unusable, the owner saw a fantastic business opportunity that not only found a great use for the land but also taps into our green sensibilities. He has free roaming hens and sells pasture-raised eggs. The hens are free of hormones, antibiotics and no pesticides are used on the USDA Certified Organic land. They roam freely, eat off the land and lay nutritious, delicious eggs that are gathered and sold. These eggs can be found at Whole Foods, local Austin restaurants and local farmer’s markets. This property is a great reminder that with a little ingenuity, we can turn something that might seem worthless into a golden opportunity. Find out more about Vital Farms.
