Elevated Living.
In Harmony with the Land.
The land upon which Mountain Ranch resides is a slice of Texas Hill Country purity at its finest. Originally part of a 6,000-acre tract assembled in the 1950’s and 60’s, the 3,800 acres that today make up Mountain Ranch were purchased nearly 20 years ago by the current owner. A native Texan who believes in conserving and protecting the land, the owner has diligently maintained game management standards for the property. Mountain Ranch has been off the market for decades, and largely undeveloped for almost 70 years. As a result, the natural, rustic character of the land remains pristine and wildlife is abundant.
Strategically located minutes from Marble Falls and Burnet, off Highway 281, Mountain Ranch is a community of ranches where likeminded people can live, enjoy the land and own their unique piece of the Texas Hill Country. Governed by sensible deed restrictions, Mountain Ranch owners cherish the natural beauty of the land; share a desire for privacy and security; and believe in adding value to their ranch community.

For over 50 years, the spring-fed, man-made lake in Mountain Ranch has been one of the crown jewels of the land. Spanning an enormous 28 acres — an absolute rarity for Texas Hill Country lakes — the lake is the centerpiece of the 783-acre ranch tract. The lake is 35-feet deep when full and produces blue catfish, channel catfish, perch, black bass and largemouth bass well over 10 pounds! The owner will have unrestricted use of the lake to include the construction of docks and boathouses, and the use of watercraft.
Owners are permitted to hunt the whitetail deer, rocky mountain elk, gemsbok, feral hogs, dove, turkey and quail that roam naturally on the property.
The balance of land in Mountain Ranch is characterized by varied topography and, as such, is not conducive to large-scale farming. Within almost any tract, however, owners will find enough good soil to establish a modest family garden. A few tracts are suitable for a vineyard or an orchard. Orchard Pasture, the parcel right off the south side of Sycamore Creek, has some very good soils and is a great spot for planting grapes or fruit trees.
The tracts will be conveyed under the 1-d-1 Agricultural Exemption for the 2020 tax year. However, the new owners must apply for their exemption prior to April 30, 2021. Because of the size of the tracts, there will be no rollback tax provided the owners do not change the use of the land. In order to maintain their ag exemption, owners can put up a livestock type fence and have cattle, sheep or goats on their ranch; or, they may apply for a wildlife extension. All tracts in Mountain Ranch are large enough to qualify for a wildlife exemption.
Electric Utilities – Power is provided generally throughout all of Mountain Ranch by Pedernales Electric Cooperative, Inc. (PEC). Electric power can be run to other specific sites on all ranch properties at the owner’s expense. Overhead power is permitted.
Sewer – Private septic systems will be installed at owner’s expense.
Water – Domestic water is provided by private wells installed at owner’s expense. There are three wells already in place on the land.
