The ranch headquarters is located at 12805 Black Jack Road, approximately 15 minutes north of Mason, Texas. This quiet stretch of Mason County is rich in ranching heritage and history, shaped by early German settlement and the granite formations of the Llano Uplift. The property sits among a cluster of scenic tracts being brought to market in the area, all showcasing the timeless charm and natural character of the Hill Country landscape.
Improvements
A small hunter’s cabin sits on the northwest side of the ranch along Black Jack Road. The cabin is equipped with electricity and a private water well, providing basic accommodations and functionality for weekend stays or hunting trips.
Water
The property features one surface pond that holds water very well and a water well located near the cabin. The well was drilled in November 2000 to a depth of 46 feet, with the pump set at 35 feet, and tested at an impressive 30 gallons per minute.
Spice Creek also traverses the northern portion of the property, offering excellent drainage and contributing to strong wildlife habitat.
Terrain & Habitat
The northwestern portion of the ranch features a 14± acre fenced hay field, which the current cattle tenant cuts and bales. The remainder of the ranch is rolling terrain with scattered live oak, post oak, black jack, and mesquite, as well as granite outcroppings and oceans of native grasses.
Along Spice Creek, large hardwoods, including live oak and post oak form a beautiful canopy, and small pockets of quartz can be found throughout the creek bed. The ranch’s elevation changes create great vantage points and building sites with long views of the surrounding countryside.
