LAND
Once a part of the 11,000± acre renowned 711 Ranch, the David Ranch has been well taken care of, and it shows throughout the property. With elevations ranging from 1,730’± to 1,960’±, the property has a large-size feel and roll to it. The extreme care the owners have implemented to manage the water resources, land, and wildlife extensively is evident. Under a wildlife management program for ag valuation, the owners practice good land stewardship. Numerous springs start on the ranch and run throughout, eventually into Cibolo Creek. There are many fern grottos with seeps and other stronger springs that feed several nice ponds stocked with fish. The land is spectacular, and it feels like you are in a wildlife park as you traverse the well-groomed roads.
