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.

River Valley Ranch is being offered to one who, in their heart, desires to be a steward of this slice of heritage Texas. A conservation-minded group who wishes to craft a legacy safeguarding the well-being of the ranch’s unique plant and animal life by preserving their natural habitat. A visionary whose goals include protecting the character and spirit of this magnificent landscape.
