3,290 Acres Hidden Valley Ranch

3,290 Acres HIDDEN VALLEY RANCH, Kerr County Wallace Creek Road Kerrville, TX 78028 In over 26 years of marketing premier live water properties, I can say that Hidden Valley Ranch is the best live water ranch currently on the market. Spanning 3,290 acres in Kerr County and family-owned for more than four decades, this ranch offers what so many buyers seek but so few ever findtruly private live water with its headwaters located on the property. Multiple natural springs form part of the headwaters of Johnson Creek, creating nearly 3 miles of crystal-clear flowing water entirely within the ranch. These springs feed a remarkable system of twelve lakes, cascading waterfalls, and stone-lined creeks enhanced with native rock bridges and walkways. In addition to the strong springs and lakes found on the southern end, Bushwhack Creek flows strong and is undeveloped on the northern portion. Very few Hill Country ranches can claim this level of private, originating watera feature that not only defines its beauty but also secures its long-term value. The improvements are just as exceptional. Several strategically placed residences provide flexibility for family and guestssome with commanding hilltop vistas, others tucked along the spring-fed lakes and creeks. Paved ranch roads wind through rolling, oak-studded terrain that has been meticulously cleared of invasive cedar, showcasing the Hill Country at its best. Hidden Valley Ranch offers a truly extraordinary opportunity to acquire one of the finest live water ranches in Texas.

Several strong hidden springs, originate on the property providing flow for 3 miles. The upper end is natural flowing, very shallow clear water over limestone beds and small falls, while the southern portion flows for 5,003 feet (nearly a mile,) through a series of twelve dammed lakes crafted with beautiful rockwork, walls and bridges. Truly spectacular in their construction, these lakes are easily accessible, and have some significant deep holes in areas. Maintaining a constant water level, waterfalls flow from one lake to the next, flanked by towering Cypress trees along the banks and creating a most pleasant ambient cascade of water. Additionally, Bushwack Creek and other multiple hidden springs provide more live water features, with potential for future expansion. There are nine water wells on the property, eight of which are located on the north end; seven of these are electric, one is solar and one is windmill powered. The main three homes along the creek are watered by spring water through the spring box. TERRAIN-VEGETATION: The southern 1,250 acres lie primarily in the creek bottom along the developed water features. This spring-fed creek traverses through steep rugged terrain with elevation ranging from 1,800 feet ASL to 2,192 feet ASL. The area appears to have only been cleared near the Creek, leaving the rugged hills full of native habitat. Large Cypress trees are found along the banks of the Creek, while Grand Pecan and Live Oak trees surround the homes. The northern 2,000 acres is gently rolling terrain with large Post Oak, Live Oak, and Cedar Elm trees dotted throughout. The majority of this north end has been selectively cleared of invasive Cedar, offering wide open, pristine views of rolling land and an impressive stand of flourishing native grasses. Bushwack Creek bottom area boasts large Oaks, Pecan, Cedar Elm. On the hilltops, elevations reach 2,200, creating a 2,000 feet elevation across the rolling terrain. Other trees found throughout the property include Cottonwood, Spanish Oak, Monterrey Oak, Shin Oak, Post Oak, Madrone, Cedar Elm, Mountain Laurel, Willow, Hackberry, Chinquapin Oak and Sumac. Brush and groundcover throughout include Agarita, Ligustrum, Persimmon, Prickly Pear, and ferns and moss along the creek. WILDLIFE: This ranch has an abundance of wildlife with its large size, water, habitat and dedicated management practices. The north end is game fenced and has been managed for 20 years for whitetail deer. As a result, the ranch has a strong native Hill Country deer herd. With its water and brush management, the property has a high carrying capacity. Turkey roost along the creeks and light into the selected cleared areas. Occasionally exotics can be found such as Aoudad, Fallow Deer, and Axis Deer on the south end. The water features provide excellent bass fishing due to their constant level and depth. Seasonal ducks are attracted to these large bodies of water. Rare for this area of the state, the resident otter is fascinating and not often seen on other properties. The ranch is MLDP and has only been hunted by family and friends since their ownership began. MINERALS: Negotiable. No production on the property. TAXES: $47,185.77. Ag exemption.
