Description
Kingbird Ranch has been a beloved family retreat and horse ranch for several years. The property features dramatic elevations, with the highest point at 1,275 feet and the lowest near a creek at 1,120 feet. Sweeping views encompass Lake Buchanan, Torr Na Lochs Winery, and notable hilltops. The ranch is well-maintained, with an extensive trail system and diverse vegetation, including Live and Post Oak trees, prickly pear, juniper, persimmon, and agarita. The brush/tree coverage is approximately 50% cleared and 50% covered, creating a perfect habitat for wildlife.
Water Features
Two live creeks meander through the property, providing a natural water source for both wildlife and livestock. These creeks are believed to flow year-round. Additionally, a reliable water well near the cabin/workshop/bunkhouse area supplies water to the main complex and the barn. The current owner has reported no issues with the well over the past decade.

The ranch is equipped for equestrian activities with a 4,000-square-foot barn complex featuring 16 stalls, a tack room, feed room, and bathroom.

A solar system with 30-amp, 110-volt capabilities powers the barn's lighting and electrical needs. The property includes a 100 x 150 three-rail riding arena and a 5-acre irrigated horse pasture, along with an additional 4-acre auxiliary pasture.
