Pebble River Ranch
The trickle and burble of crystalline water provides a constant soundtrack throughout the ranch as the Guadalupe River runs on the eastern portion. Cherry Creek and White Oak Creek add their own rhythms to the symphony as they meander through the majestic Hill Country landscape.

If you’ve ever thought about investing in the Hill Country, here are great points to consider. In 2020, Texas added more residents than any other state. Texas is home to 50 Fortune 500 companies and is the ninth largest economy worldwide.

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.

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.
