Primary Lake Chain: At the heart of this ranch is a series of water features with continuous water, over 1/3±of a mile long, featuring two prominent impoundments along s spring-fed creek that runs north-south through the property. The lower lake is 2± acres in size, is 40± deep at full pool, and is fed by a natural, year-round spring. The upper lake is over 1± Acre and nearly 20± feet deep with a cascading, granite & sandstone-rock overflow located at the center of the dam. Three intermediate-sized pools that are 10-12± ft.deep which water flows through, connect the lakes at the top and bottom of the chain. Both primary impoundments are sealed with 2-3 feet of clay and each dam was constructed with a 10-12± foot wide clay core.
Seasonal Creeks & Secondary Ponds: In addition to the primary creek where the water features lie, there are two other seasonal creeks which traverse the property. In the SW area of the ranch, a sandstone-lined seasonal creek runs west-east for approximately 3,500 feet. Roughly in the middle of this drainage, another 0.50± Acre pond was constructed in a secluded area. The other seasonal creek lies in the Eastern portion of the ranch and runs for roughly 2,600± feet. This drainage system originates to the east and extends all the way to the south property boundary and the possibility for additional water features abound.

Wells: A water well, on top of Tabletop Mountain hits water at approx. 260± and has a total depth of 423± ft.with a yield of 25 GPM.

The upper-section of the ranch is dominated by two massive hills that provide beautiful views of the valley and water below. Tabletop Mountain, which sits in the NW corner area of the property, provides some of the most incredibly stunning views that can be found in Texas including views of Packsaddle Mountain in Llano County, approximately 20 miles to the N, as well as towering views over Blanco County to the South.
