River Valley Ranch offers an unrivaled pairing of
seclusion and accessibility. The ranch can be reached in an
hour from either Austin or San Antonio where the solitude and
breathtaking beauty of the Pedernales River await. Its prime
location puts the best of the Texas Hill Country within easy
proximity. Johnson City is a short 15 minute drive while the
shops and unique dining experiences of Fredericksburg can be
savored in less than an hour. Tee it up on the challenging
golf courses of Horseshoe Bay on the shores of Lake LBJ, a
mere 30 minutes away. So here, you can truly get away from
it all. And get to it all.
A Utopia On The Legendary Pedernales River
Only a handful of Texas ranches offer the ability to possess
a piece of a legend. River Valley Ranch presents such an
opportunity. A rarity among ranches, it can become
a personal oasis. One offering private escape and solitude
along the banks of the picturesque Pedernales River.
Its ±1561 acres encompass hilltops to the north affording
stunning 360° vistas of the Texas Hill Country and Pedernales River
Valley. The southern edge of the ranch is bordered by 1 and
1/3rd miles of riverfront. This generous access, where gently
shaded banks meet deep pools and cascading rapids, creates
a paradise for water recreation. Fly-fishing, kayaking, swimming
or merely reflecting on the majesty of the river can evolve
into daily routine.
With its ever-changing terrain, the ranch is a natural for
horseback riding or mountain biking. Attesting to its ecological
richness and diversity, a recent survey by a team of botanists
revealed the ranch to harbor 45 species of trees, shrubs and
woody vines and over 140 species of wildflowers.
To view this landscape is to take in a naturally painted canvas
that extends in all directions. You’ll still have
decisions to make, but they will be gratifying. Like where
to nestle your family headquarters, choosing from an array
of compelling possibilities.
For the avid sportsman, the ranch is a hunting and fishing
paradise, rich with whitetail deer, Rio Grande turkey and dove.
Bass, perch and catfish abound in the waters of the Pedernales.
Currently under an agricultural exemption, the land could easily
be placed under a wildlife exemption.
