This 405-acre Hill Country ranch is surrounded on two sides by the Balcones Canyonlands National Wildlife Refuge. The property is located in the Balcones Canyonlands area, just 7 miles north of Lake Travis, east of Marble Falls, and just on the northwestern edge of Travis County. The area is well known for its spectacular Hill Country views and scenic countryside and this property has it all. It is unrestricted, rugged, and ready for new ownership. Potential uses include a family recreational ranch or homesite, subdivision into large tract homesites, or commercial operations such as glamping, rental cabins, or other recreational type development. The property includes a 1400 sqft livable cabin, a water well with a new pump, electric and septic. Also includes two smaller, approximately 500 sqft, hunting cabins that need work.

Wet weather Cottonwood Branch Creek runs out of Devil's Hollow, through the property and drains into the well-known live water Cow Creek not far away. Elevation changes over 320 feet on the ranch from a low of 1,020 feet at the bottom of Cottonwood Branch on the south side of the property to a high elevation of 1,340 feet on the northeast part of the property. These high elevations create panoramic views of the surrounding Hill Country with multiple high locations and multiple canyons. The terrain is rough, rocky, and dramatic and includes interesting limestone shelves and outcrops. The soil supports native oak, elm, juniper, and mesquite trees as well as native grasses and other native vegetation. Wildlife includes whitetail deer, coyotes, turkeys, mourning doves, and many other native wildlife species. The property is currently used for grazing, recreation, and hunting.

1-d-1 agricultural tax valuation is held via a grazing lease keeping the taxes low.
