Rock Springs Ranch

1,663 ACRES – KIMBLE/MASON CNTYS
BIG WATER/GREAT ACCESSIBILITY
ROCK SPRINGS RANCH
1,663 ACRES – KIMBLE/MASON CNTYS
ROCK SPRINGS RANCH
LOCATION: This northwest section of the Big Springs Ranch lies along the north side
of SH 385 for about 1.5 miles, and along the west side of gravel Mill Creek Road for
about 2.5 miles, with area landmark Joy Mountain being at the center of the 385
frontage. This is about 15 miles NW of Harper (supplies, feed, restaurant, basics), on
the Kimble/Mason County line. Still held by Schreiner descendants to this day, this
portion has never been offered for sale outside of family. The highway and county road
frontage is extensive, totaling about 4 miles, yet there is virtually no traffic on any of
them.
This is about 20 miles from both Junction (5,000’ paved, lighted airstrip) to the SW, and
prized Mason to the north, in the western part of the Texas Hill Country. Both of
these communities have grocery stores, shops, medical clinics and restaurants.
Fredericksburg is about 45 miles east (good hospital, extensive
shopping/restaurants), Kerrville (university, box stores, many resources) is 45 miles
southeast on I-10, and Llano is about 55 miles NE.
San Antonio (nation’s 7th largest city, international airport, major medical) is about 85
miles south, and Austin and San Angelo are both about 100 miles distant. This is a
decidedly rural area, in big ranch country, not frequented by hordes of people.
Cattle, sheep, deer and outdoor recreation rule this part of the Hill Country, and it is a
rare, pristine zone that has much appeal to those searching for the feel of bigger
country, yet still only 1.5 hours or slightly more from 3 large, vibrant cities, and 45
miles to the nearest Wal-Mart or Lowe’s.
WATER: The ranch features permanent, spring-fed James River flowing thru for
about 1.5 miles, about 1/3 of which has reliable flow with several floatable holes full of
large fish. This stream is seasonal in its upper reaches entering the ranch, but reliable
flow (per locals) emerges from rocks into a wide, rock bottom streambed pocked with
clear water holes topped with lily pads, and thin ribbon flow streams that
amazingly persist in deep Texas summers. Large trees line the stream banks in some
areas, with potential for lovely camp or cabin sites. Rock bluffs prevail in others,
creating an interesting and unique riparian zone not easily penetrable by man.
One water well is located on site, and ample groundwater is known in the area, with
high volume wells nearby. There are a couple of stock tanks that hold water
seasonally.
For more info on area groundwater, please contact the Hickory
Underground Water Conservation District (http://www.hickoryuwcd.org/) and/or the
Kimble County Groundwater Conservation District (http://www.co.kimble.tx.us/).

LAND: The site is mostly gently rolling land, with scattered liveoaks and strips of roller
chopped shrubs, supporting good stands of native tall grasses and turfs. Joy Mountain,
rising 200’ above the plains, is a landmark for the area, and anchors the SH 385
frontage nicely at its centerpoint.
Soils are primarily tan to red sandy loam with rock outcrops along the streambeds and
river. Hardwoods include liveoak, elm, Spanish Oak and mesquite, with little cedar to
be found. Note the roller chopped strips on the aerial photograph. The chopped
shrubs are predominately mesquite, agarita, persimmon and bee brush, and offer
excellent high protein browsing for livestock and wildlife of all varieties.
Hunting is rated as excellent for deer, turkey, varmints and hogs. Dove are sometimes
present in huntable numbers, and quail seem to be returning to the area after a
decades-long hiatus. Several edible-sized fish have been observed in the river, and
waterfowl will find stock tanks seasonally.
Views from the top of Joy Mountain are fantastic and well worth the effort to make the
trek, though hill views of the nearby Blue Mountains are splendid from most
locations on the site.
IMPROVEMENTS: One water well with submersible pump, some gathering pens and
cross fencing comprise the only improvements on this tract, a literal blank canvas.
FINANCIAL/TITLE: Listing Price is $2,650/acre = $4,406,950. Sellers will provide
current survey and basic title insurance. Mineral conveyance is negotiable. There are
no known easements other than electric and phone service. A dipping vat is located on
site and will not be remediated by Sellers. The property lies in both the Harper
Independent and Mason Independent School Districts, and the 2014 ag exempt taxes
are estimated at $1132. This property is co-listed with Marshall Kuykendall, Kuykendall
Land Co., 512.585.5565, [email protected].
SUMMARY: RSR is one of the highest value live water offerings with paved highway
frontage in the area, and includes abundant scenic beauty, wildlife and solid ranching
potential. The gentle roll allows almost complete accessibility, and the high % of good
soils bodes well for future productivity and recreational uses. If the above speaks to
you, we welcome you for further discussion and a site tour.

Approved by the Texas Real Estate Commission for Voluntary Use
Texas law requires all real estate licensees to give the following information
about brokerage services to prospective buyers, tenants, sellers and landlords.
Information About Brokerage Services
B
efore working with a real estate broker, you should
know that the duties of a broker depend on whom
the broker represents. If you are a prospective
seller or landlord (owner) or a prospective buyer or
tenant (buyer), you should know that the broker who lists
the property for sale or lease is the owner’s agent. A
broker who acts as a subagent represents the owner in
cooperation with the listing broker. A broker who acts as
a buyer’s agent represents the buyer. A broker may act as
an intermediary between the parties if the parties
consent in writing. A broker can assist you in locating a
property, preparing a contract or lease, or obtaining
financing without representing you. A broker is obligated
by law to treat you honestly.
IF THE BROKER REPRESENTS THE OWNER:
The broker becomes the owner’s agent by entering into an
agreement with the owner, usually through a written listing agreement, or by agreeing to act as a subagent by
accepting an offer of subagency from the listing broker. A
subagent may work in a different real estate office. A
listing broker or subagent can assist the buyer but does
not represent the buyer and must place the interests of
the owner first. The buyer should not tell the owner’s
agent anything the buyer would not want the owner to
know because an owner’s agent must disclose to the
owner any material information known to the agent.
IF THE BROKER REPRESENTS THE BUYER:
The broker becomes the buyer’s agent by entering into an
agreement to represent the buyer, usually through a
written buyer representation agreement. A buyer’s agent
can assist the owner but does not represent the owner
and must place the interests of the buyer first. The owner
should not tell a buyer’s agent anything the owner would
not want the buyer to know because a buyer’s agent must
disclose to the buyer any material information known to the
agent.
IF THE BROKER ACTS AS AN INTERMEDIARY:
A broker may act as an intermediary between the parties
if the broker complies with The Texas Real Estate License
Act. The broker must obtain the written consent of each
party to the transaction to act as an intermediary. The
written consent must state who will pay the broker and, in
conspicuous bold or underlined print, set forth the broker’s
obligations as an intermediary. The broker is required to
treat each party honestly and fairly and to comply with
The Texas Real Estate License Act. A broker who acts
as an intermediary in a transaction:
(1) shall treat all parties honestly;
(2) may not disclose that the owner will accept a
price less than the asking price unless authorized in
writing to do so by the owner;
(3) may not disclose that the buyer will pay a price
greater than the price submitted in a written offer
unless authorized in writing to do so by the buyer; and
(4) may not disclose any confidential information or
any information that a party specifically instructs the
broker in writing not to disclose unless authorized in
writing to disclose the information or required to do so
by The Texas Real Estate License Act or a court
order or if the information materially relates to the
condition of the property.
With the parties’ consent, a broker acting as an
intermediary between the parties may appoint a person who
is licensed under The Texas Real Estate License Act
and associated with the broker to communicate with and
carry out instructions of one party and another person who
is licensed under that Act and associated with the broker
to communicate with and carry out instructions of the
other party.
If you choose to have a broker represent you,
you should enter into a written agreement with the broker
that clearly establishes the broker’s obligations and your
obligations. The agreement should state how and by
whom the broker will be paid. You have the right to
choose the type of representation, if any, you wish to
receive. Your payment of a fee to a broker does not
