LOCATED 10 MILES SOUTHWEST OF KERRVILLE ON 1,791 ACRES, THE SUPER A RANCH OFFERS THE OPPORTUNITY FOR LARGE-SCALE RANCH RECREATION WITH ALL OF THE CONVENIENCE OF LIFE IN CLOSE PROXIMITY TO ONE OF TEXAS’ MOST HIGHLY PRIZED TOWNS. THE LANDSCAPE COMBINES SPECTACULAR HILLS WITH OPEN PASTURELAND FOR THE PASTORAL MIX THAT CHARACTERIZES THE HILL COUNTRY.
Super A Ranch is the largest live water ranch for sale in Kerr County. Indian artifacts are common finds as the people hike the ranch’s many trails and explore its nooks and crannies proving that the abundant live water has drawn humans to the ranch throughout history. Multiple springs bubble from the ground flowing into streams that eventually feed into Turtle Creek, which has a natural waterfall. Its banks are dotted with cypress trees. Hidden among the pecan and walnut groves are park-like clearings that the current owners have claimed as picnic areas, keeping them manicured and particularly beautiful.
The springs also fill several impoundments, the largest of which is a lake of about five acres. It is stocked with bass and provides top-notch fishing opportunities for both casual and serious anglers. The abundant surface water offers opportunities for swimming and paddling. The ranch’s armada includes an aluminum boat, a paddle boat and a pontoon boat that will transfer with the sale.
While the surface water is plentiful, there are also two working windmills that could be used to provide additional water for the bountiful wildlife. The high-fenced ranch is home to whitetailed deer that have been improved through harvest selection and introduced genetics as well as turkeys, elk, fallow deer (white, chocolate and spotted), axis deer, sika deer, blackbuck antelope and aoudad sheep.
Opportunities abound for wildlife watching and hunting. The wildlife infrastructure includes eight deer blinds, eight corn feeders and six protein feeders, which will convey with the sale, and a processing shed with both a walk-in cooler and walk-in freezer. There are also two equipment barns (40’x130’ and 25’x100’), a horse barn with stalls and livestock pens, making the transition to a livestock operation easy. Good ranch roads, most of which are caliche, provide access throughout the ranch.
The main house features three bedrooms and three-and-ahalf baths with extensive, rich cherrywood decking providing a natural gathering spot for family and friends. The state-ofthe-art outdoor kitchen makes sunrise breakfasts and sunset dinners easy. The spring-fed swimming pool and waterfall, known as The Grotto, is a destination for splashing, sunning and making memories. The spring feeding The Grotto also supplies a small lake visible from the master bedroom, once again melding the outdoors and indoors. An outdoor fireplace and large fire pit add a welcoming glow year-round.
In addition, there is a 3,000± square-foot, three-bedroom, two-bath guest house with a large dining room and great room. From the spacious back porch of the guest house, family and friends can watch wildlife graze on the nearby hills. The main house and the guest house each have a well with a submersible pump to supply water.
For more fun, there is a large game room with a pool table, air hockey, foosball table and more. It includes a bedroom and kitchen to accommodate additional guests.
