B r ow n Ranch<br />
950± Acres in Gillespie County • Property ID: 3162044<br />
The top-of-the-line improvements, including six homes, were designed<br />
to enhance the experience. Secure, electric entrances from Highway 783<br />
and Fielder Road provide easy access to the high-fenced ranch, which<br />
features paved roads throughout. The extensive public road frontage<br />
enhances the property’s investment value even more by providing an<br />
opportunity for sub-division in the future. The land, which includes both<br />
native range and improved coastal Bermuda patches for hay production,<br />
has been managed to support a genetically improved white-tailed herd<br />
as well top-notch registered Charolais cattle. The deer herd, which has<br />
produced bucks measuring 160–170, has benefited from a year-round<br />
feeding program. Superlative habitat management has ensured the<br />
presence of a host of other native Hill Country species ranging from<br />
turkey and bobcat to the occasional mountain lion. Crystalline water is<br />
plentiful in the Kline Branch and Stevens creeks, which converge near<br />
the main house, creating a large dammed lake. (Premier dam builder<br />
Edmond Jenschke has constructed several dams on the property.) The<br />
co-joined creeks leave the lake flowing as one large stream, which is fed<br />
by a strong, year-round spring. The creeks flow inside the ranch for miles<br />
providing an exceptional amount of frontage. In addition, there are<br />
three Trinity Aquifer water wells and five Edwards Aquifer water wells<br />
situated throughout the ranch. No expense has been spared to create<br />
and maintain this ultimate Hill Country destination. Throughout the<br />
8,000± square-foot main residence, unique touches abound, including:<br />
the great room’s soaring 30-foot ceiling, a huge deck overlooking the<br />
lake, custom-made chandeliers, ironwork and fireplaces, and the “Wild<br />
West” grandchildren’s suite. The immaculately landscaped headquarters<br />
compound also includes a nearby guest house and a state-of-the-art<br />
equestrian barn complete with turnout paddocks and horse-safe fencing.<br />
Family and friends can also be housed at the Ranch House, a brand new<br />
6,000-foot ranch-style house with all the latest amenities. Then, there is<br />
the pool house, located in a beautifully landscaped, park-like clearing<br />
