LANDSCAPE TO EXPLORE

Mesa Creek Ranch brings together the best of both worlds: broad, grassy bottomland shaded by mature hardwoods and rugged Hill Country terrain made for exploring. Rolling hills, thickly wooded slopes, stone-faced cliffs, deep draws, massive boulders, and caves give the ranch plenty of character. Excellent elevation range, with room for everything from hunting and hiking to off-road exploration, rock climbing, and shooting sports.

SPRING-FED. FREE-FLOWING. YEAR-ROUND.

The water is the heart of Mesa Creek Ranch. A powerful live spring feeds a clear, free-flowing creek that runs year-round through the property, with both sides of the creek under ranch ownership. Water moves over natural limestone shelves, collects in deep, crystal-clear pools, and continues through shallower stretches where the creek can be seen flowing across the rock. The clarity, depth, and constant movement of the water are remarkable. It’s the kind of water you can hear before you see, and one of the ranch’s most memorable draws.

A grand staircase sets the tone upon entry, leading into a residence with generous living spaces and room for family, friends, and guests to settle in. The home centers around a huge kitchen with a butler’s pantry, breakfast area, and formal dining room, while three separate living rooms give everyone space to gather or unwind. A study/library/office adds a quiet place to work or read, and seven bedrooms and five full and three half baths accommodate a full house.

Whole House R.O. (reverse osmosis) System

Front and rear covered porches stretch the length of the home, taking in incredible views across the ranch. Out back, a wide-open flagstone patio extends the living space outdoors, alongside a fenced yard. A huge basement, abundant storage, and an attached three-car garage round out the home’s practical side.

NATURAL VARIETY

Live oaks and Spanish oaks shade the creek and grassy bottomland, with aquatic ferns, native grasses, vines, and other creek-bottom vegetation following the water. Across the ranch, native vegetation ranges from thickly wooded hillsides to more open areas, adding to the varied character of the landscape.

The varied terrain, year-round water, and mix of open bottomland and wooded Hill Country provide habitat for an impressive range of native wildlife and free-ranging exotics. From whitetail and turkey to aoudad, sika, red stag, and elk, Mesa Creek Ranch has plenty to keep hunters and wildlife enthusiasts interested.
