- Located in the heart of the Hill Country
- Incredible live water and water features
- Managed for white-tailed deer for 20 years
Owned and operated by the same family for over 40 years, the Hidden Valley Ranch, encompassing 3,290± acres in Kerr County near Kerrville, offers some of the finest live water in the Hill Country. In addition to Bushwhack Creek, multiple hidden springs originate on the property, providing flowing water for nearly 3± miles, and feeding the water improvements highlighted by 12 lakes, waterfalls, and rocked walkways and bridges.
The extensive native stonework complements the inherent beauty of this stunning property. Several homes are strategically located throughout the ranch, with some overlooking the various lakes on the spring-fed creek and others situated with long-range hilltop views. Paved roads wind through the ranch, weaving between the majestic oak trees on the rolling terrain that has been meticulously cleared of invasive juniper.
“In 25 years of marketing outstanding ranches across Texas, I believe Hidden Valley Ranch is the most unique property I have ever had the pleasure of listing,” said Robert Dullnig, Broker-Owner of Dullnig Ranch Sales – Kuper Sotheby’s.
Improvements
The array of native rock exterior homes and substantial structures accentuate the natural beauty of the ranch and provide ample private space for family, friends, staff and guests:
Lodge, Main House, Villa, Antelope Ridge. Little Rock House, Foreman’s House (South Entrance) Foreman’s House (North Entrance). Horse Barn. Large Shop. Shop/Apartment.
Bunkhouse. There are over 20± miles of paved ranch roads. With a high fenced perimeter, the ranch includes 15 Executive deer blinds, 15 corn feeders and seven protein feeders.
Water
The water features are exceptional; the water level and flow have remained consistent despite the current, lingering drought. Several strong hidden springs originate on the property providing flow for 3± miles.
The upper end is naturally flowing, very shallow clear water over limestone beds and small falls, while the southern portion flows for 5,003± feet (nearly a mile), through a series of 12 dammed lakes crafted with beautiful rockwork, walls and bridges. Truly spectacular in their construction, the lakes are easily accessible and have some significant deep holes. Maintaining a constant water level, waterfalls flow from one lake to the next, flanked by towering Cypress trees along the banks and creating a pleasant ambient cascade of water.
Bushwhack Creek and other multiple hidden springs provide more live water features, with potential for future expansion. There are nine water wells on the property. The main three homes along the creek are watered by spring water through the spring box.
Wildlife
Thanks to its size, plentiful water, superlative habitat and dedicated management, wildlife is abundant. The north end is game fenced and has been managed for 20 years for white-tailed deer for both numbers and quality in a native Hill Country deer herd. Turkeys roost along the creeks and light into select cleared areas. Occasionally exotics can be found such as Aoudad, Fallow Deer, and Axis Deer on the south end. The ranch is MLDP and has only been hunted by family and friends for the past four decades.
Because of their constant level and depth, the water features provide excellent bass fishing. Migrating ducks are attracted to these large water bodies.
