Landscape
The landscape at Pine Hills Ranch is truly exceptional, featuring over 120± feet of elevation change that offers rolling hill views across the property. A richly diverse landscape blends mature hardwoods, open pasture, and native meadows, with a defined creek system weaving throughout the property.
Through years of intentional land management, the ranch has been carefully shaped to open sweeping vistas, improve pastureland, and preserve privacy—resulting in a highly functional, beautifully balanced property designed for both recreation and enjoyment.
Water
Water is a major highlight of Pine Hills Ranch, with four large ponds and a well-distributed network of creeks and spring-fed drainages throughout the property. Mill Creek and Reeds Creek serve as the primary waterways; the owners have never seen Reeds Creek run dry, and the presence of ferns, reeds, and other wetland vegetation indicates strong spring-fed influence. The ponds are stocked with largemouth bass and catfish, offering excellent recreational fishing. Capping off the water features is a 100+ GPM well supporting the homestead and other improvements.
