HISTORY: Situated in the Tri-County area of Mason, Menard and McCulloch counties, Eagle Point was once part of the historic Blockhouse Ranch, consisting of 27,000 acres and encompassing 15 miles on both sides of the San Saba River. The river here contains a known spring fed, deep hole of water called Blue Hole. During the severe drought of the 1950's, the reliable Blue Hole was one of the very few bodies of water to not run dry, thus saving livestock for many ranchers in area. The majority of the ranch, while split up over time is still owned by the descendants of Anna Martin (1844-1925). She was the first female bank president in Texas, only the second in the nation and future inductee to the National Cowgirl Hall of Fame in Fort Worth.

Mason County - 63.99 Acres Gem of the Texas Hill Country, Castell, TX
This spectacular Hill Country ranch is bounded on the south by approximately 2,875 feet of pristine Llano River frontage and on the north by Mulberry Creek which is seasonal. The ranch is highlighted by granite outcroppings and stately mature live oaks that line the creek bottom. Other timber includes mesquite, persimmon, and native brush. A good network of pasture roads lends easy access to the river and creek areas. The river frontage is normally easily accessible by pedestrian and ATV travel. At normal river levels the entirety of the river frontage can be waded or floated by meandering the riverbed. The course of the river may shift from time to time as it is impacted by the rising water levels that arrive with heavy rains that occur locally or far upstream. The river has continuous flow typically in periods of drought. There is a great mixture of fast-moving water to gentle rapids and deep holes to approximately 10 feet deep. This amount of river frontage and diversity is above average for this size of property.
There is a large population of Guadalupe Bass, Black Bass, Catfish, and many varieties of Sunfish. It is not unusual for a fly fisherman to catch a 4-pound Guadalupe Bass, several Black Bass over 5 pounds, Red Breast Sunfish weighing as much as 1.25 pounds and 6-pound Channel Catfish.
Seldom does one see river traffic due to the lack of downstream access points to this stretch of river. It is about 7 miles upstream to the Highway 87 bridge access and another 5 miles downstream to Castell. This stretch of river however, offers fast water for kayaking and inner tubing and slow-moving water for sandy beach areas, cookouts, and kid play areas.

This property is more than just a piece of land it is a canvas of history, nature, and opportunity. With nearly 2,500 feet of Willow Creek coursing across it as a wet-weather feature, two stock tanks, a shared water well, diverse terrain, and an abundance of mature oak trees, this ranch captures the essence of the Hill Country lifestyle. Whether you dream of a premier hunting retreat, a private recreational escape, or a long-term legacy property for generations to enjoy, this tract has the character and size to make that vision a reality.
A Land Rooted in History
Long before modern ranching shaped this region, the land was home to Native American tribes, most notably the Comanche. The Comanche people once roamed these hills, valleys, and creeks, relying on the lands abundant wildlife, plant life, and shelter. Known for their horsemanship, resilience, and dominance across the Southern Plains, the Comanche left their mark on the Texas Hill Country in ways still felt today.
Standing among the towering oaks of this ranch, or walking the quiet creek bed, it is easy to imagine a time when this land was a natural crossroads for survival, hunting, and gathering. Today, the land remains much as it has for centuries natural, open, and teeming with wildlife. It is rare to find a tract of this size that has preserved its authenticity so well, making it not only a recreational treasure but also a living connection to the past.
The Character of Willow Creek
Water is one of the most sought-after features in Hill Country ranches, and this property benefits from nearly 2,500 feet of Willow Creek, a wet-weather creek that gracefully winds through the ranch. While not a year-round stream, Willow Creek comes alive during the rainy seasons, creating a flowing ribbon of water that nourishes the land and adds character to the property.
Even in drier months, the creek bed and its shaded banks provide unique habitat, natural travel corridors for wildlife, and moisture-rich soil that supports a variety of native vegetation. These low-lying areas are magnets for whitetail deer, turkey, dove, and quail. When combined with the propertys two stock tanks and shared water well, Willow Creek enhances both the recreational and ecological value of the ranch, ensuring strong wildlife populations and beautiful natural scenery.
Native Oaks and Diverse Terrain
The Hill Country is famous for its oak trees, and this ranch showcases them in abundance. Mature live oaks and post oaks are scattered throughout, creating shaded groves that give the land a timeless, park-like feel. These trees not only provide beauty and shade but also serve as essential forage and cover for wildlife.
The terrain features wooded draws and elevated areas that create natural privacy and offer wide, panoramic views of the surrounding countryside. Unlike many tracts that have been heavily improved or cleared, this ranch remains largely untouched a blank canvas ready for its next chapter.
Hunting and Recreation
For the avid sportsman, this ranch is a dream. Whitetail deer flourish here, thanks to plentiful forage, cover, and water sources. Turkey, dove, and quail provide year-round sporting opportunities, making this property a hunting paradise. The tanks are especially attractive to dove in the fall, while the creek draws wildlife after rains and throughout wetter months.
Beyond hunting, the land offers endless opportunities for outdoor recreation: hiking, horseback riding, exploring, camping under a starlit Hill Country sky, or simply enjoying the quiet beauty of nature. For families, it can serve as a legacy ranch where children and grandchildren experience the outdoors firsthand fishing in a tank, spotting deer at dawn, or building campfires under the oaks.

Improvements
A small hunter’s cabin sits on the northwest side of the ranch along Black Jack Road. The cabin is equipped with electricity and a private water well, providing basic accommodations and functionality for weekend stays or hunting trips.
Water
The property features one surface pond that holds water very well and a water well located near the cabin. The well was drilled in November 2000 to a depth of 46 feet, with the pump set at 35 feet, and tested at an impressive 30 gallons per minute.
Spice Creek also traverses the northern portion of the property, offering excellent drainage and contributing to strong wildlife habitat.
Terrain & Habitat
The northwestern portion of the ranch features a 14± acre fenced hay field, which the current cattle tenant cuts and bales. The remainder of the ranch is rolling terrain with scattered live oak, post oak, black jack, and mesquite, as well as granite outcroppings and oceans of native grasses.
Along Spice Creek, large hardwoods, including live oak and post oak form a beautiful canopy, and small pockets of quartz can be found throughout the creek bed. The ranch’s elevation changes create great vantage points and building sites with long views of the surrounding countryside.
Wildlife
The ranch supports a healthy population of native Hill Country wildlife, including whitetail deer, turkey, dove, and hogs. With its mix of water sources, native brush, and proximity to large neighboring tracts, the property provides excellent habitat and hunting potential throughout the year.
Easements
Standard electrical easement in place.
