El Sendero Ranch is part of the much-coveted Texas Northern Hill Country area located just northwest of Lampasas, only 85 miles from Austin. Where Crosstimbers meets the Edwards Plateau, El Sendero boasts a blend of 5 different Eco-Regions with an incredibly diverse variety of vegetation, rocky outcroppings throughout the plateau, and silty clay below in the front SE "valley" portion, bisected by Blue Dog Creek. Situated among panoramic vistas, El Sendero is 120 acres of perfectly blended prairie tallgrass surrounded by Post Oak groves, scattered Live Oaks, Spanish Oak, Elm, Mountain Laurel, Mountain Cedar, and other various evergreen hardwoods offering plenty of wildlife coverage. Given the coverage, quiet seclusion, 1/2-acre tank, and location of the low-fenced property, there is an amazing amount of Whitetail that trek through, setting up an ideal hunting retreat. As you enter the ranch's main body at the tank and along the expansive trail system, you'll traverse up the subtle limestone benches and stairs approaching the elevated mesa reaching up to 1580 ft, which covers almost half of the ranch. Atop the woodland tree-covered mesa, you are provided with spectacular Hill Country views for miles. More than 100 ft. down below in mostly level, clay soil tallgrass meadowland is covered with a variety of majestic Oaks, bluebonnets, paintbrush & the half-acre pond, which is a perfect homesite area. Additional game on the property include the expected wild hogs, coyotes, dove, a variety of duck passing through, and roaming wild turkeys. Also, an Ag exemption is currently in place for the new owner(s), per a cattle lease that can be renewed if wanted. Whether you take advantage of the many homesite options as a homestead, leave it as a recreational sanctuary, or both, this quintessential Texas Ranch is a must-see property!
