Texas Two-Step: Spring 2021
From the pages of the Winter 2020 issue of Texas LAND magazine, here’s our selection of two intriguing properties featured on the Land.com Network.
Featured Listing: Glensprings Ranch
Memory is the meaning of Glensprings Ranch. It’s been both the setting and the main character for enriching the moments that family has together, in the quiet, outside the city-noise. The home was built to embrace the land, to enhance and honor the silence. Here, you’re never lonely as the longhorns graze nearby, but ever quiet, ever nourished. You and that great oak can both grow stronger with your feet in the same spring water. Sleep comes easy when the nights are still, the great windows let in the night air, and the soreness in your muscles reminds you of all the good-living you have shared in just one day.
Banking on Land
While statistics aren’t available yet for 2020, anecdotally it was a record-breaking year.
“2020 was as busy as any year I remember—and 2021 doesn’t show any signs of slowing down,” Bownds said.
Currently, inventory is tight. Buyers are anxiously waiting to purchase a suitable property when it becomes available. In several instances, Bownds has sold multi-million-dollar ranches before he’s even had a chance to have photos taken. A limited inventory means that buyers don’t have the luxury of long deliberations.

From the pages of the Winter 2020 issue of LAND magazine, here’s our selection of intriguing properties featured on the Land.com Network.

The Monarch Ranch is located in a historically rich section of Val Verde County. Following Texas’ independence from Mexico in 1836, John Coffee Hays is the first American recorded to visit Val Verde County in an effort to establish a road from San Antonio to El Paso in 1848. During his time tracking the road, he renamed the San Pedro River the Devils River, to fit with the difficult terrain.
