The Lampasas River Ranch is a 63+/-acre live water ranch just minutes from Lampasas and Copperas Cove. The ranch features over 800 of Lampasas River which makes up the western boundary and over 1,600 of a wet weather creek that snakes through the middle of the property. With over 1,300 of County Road frontage and its proximity to 2 beautiful Hill Country towns and the city of Austin, the possibilities are endless!
Wildlife: Big Oak Trees and Pecan Trees throughout the property as well as the access to water make this ranch a haven for all native Texas wildlife. In the early mornings, it is common to see whitetail and turkey roaming around the fields, and then cooling off under the shade trees near the river to hide from the Texas sun later in the day. There are some exotics that have been seen in the area, namely axis deer. Although the population is currently still small, these animals thrive on similar properties in the Hill Country so it is expected the population will continue to grow in the area.
Water: Live water ranches are getting harder and harder to come by in the Texas Hill Country, making a property like this all that much more special. This ranch features 800 of Lampasas River frontage that has continued to flow well despite the current drought. There is also an unnamed wet weather creek that winds its way through the property that holds multiple pockets of water long after any rain. There is also a water well that feeds a trough in the middle of the property for any supplemental water needed for cattle or wildlife.
Vegetation: As soon as you pull into the gate you will be greeted with a stunning patch of Oak Trees, creating the perfect area for a home site. As you drive to the river you will continue to see a mixture of multiple mature species of hardwoods running the edge of 2 beautiful open fields.Along the rivers edge you will find a park like area with large Pecan Trees creating the perfect shade for a day at the river under the summer sun.
Improvements: There is already one water well and electricity on property. Other than that, this property is a blank slate when it comes to improvements, allowing the new owner to build the perfect home if they choose. A couple other beneficial features include an operational cattle pen and permanent structure allowing any vehicle to cross over the wet weather creek.
Location: From the gate you are under 15 minutes to Copperas Cove, which has everything you might need, including an HEB! Lampasas is also a short 20 minute drive. The ranch is also under an hour and 15 minute drive from both Austin and Waco.
