Water is one of CavaLoma’s defining assets. Eleven water wells and eighteen permanent watering stations, including well-fed ponds and strategically placed troughs, provide exceptional water distribution for both wildlife and livestock across the ranch. 

The South Fork of the Guadalupe River traverses the property, serving as a scenic wet-weather drainage that flows during periods of rainfall.

Years of careful land stewardship have created an exceptional Hill Country landscape with thriving native grasses and mature hardwoods. Continuous cedar management has allowed Live Oaks and Post Oaks to flourish alongside Spanish Oaks, Cedar Elms, Walnut trees, and numerous native plant species. 

The terrain offers an ideal balance of functionality and beauty, with gently rolling hills and numerous long-range views across the surrounding Hill Country while remaining highly usable for ranching and recreation. 

The ranch takes its name from an extraordinary natural cavern hidden within the landscape. Accessible by a screened entrance and constructed stairway, the cave features multiple chambers adorned with remarkable stalactite and stalagmite formations that create spectacular natural sculptures and make for a truly unique ranch attraction. 

CavaLoma supports an exceptional population of both native and exotic wildlife. Decades of habitat management, abundant water resources, and supplemental feeding programs have produced outstanding trophy-quality wildlife throughout the property.

There is a first-class bison herd on the ranch that is thriving due to the years of range management efforts. The current goal is to get up to 100+/- cows on the property and the ranch has more than enough natural food to comfortably support such an operation.
