Description CavaLoma Ranch represents one of the finest ranch offerings in the Texas Hill Country. Meticulously stewarded for decades, the property combines exceptional land management, abundant water, trophy wildlife, rolling live oak-covered terrain, first-class improvements, and more than 11 miles of paved ranch roads. Truly turnkey and ready for immediate enjoyment, ranches of this caliber seldom become available. Improvements The centerpiece is a beautifully renovated 5,500± SF main residence originally constructed in the 1940s and thoughtfully updated while preserving its authentic Hill Country character. The four-bedroom, four-bath home features multiple living and dining areas, four fireplaces, a wet bar with wine refrigerator, laundry/gun room, three-car carport, resort-style pool, outdoor fireplace, and expansive porches. A nearby four-bay carport includes two private one-bedroom guest apartments. The 9,000± SF Hunters Compound includes two bunkhouses, a separate cookhouse with commercial-style kitchen, covered gathering areas, community baths, laundry, office, and enclosed equipment bay. An adjacent 6,250± SF equipment barn provides storage, a game-cleaning station, and walk-in cooler. Additional improvements include a restored circa-1910 one-bedroom Schoolhouse, four-bedroom foreman's residence, covered bison working pens, shooting range, observation tower, storage buildings, high fencing, wildlife feeders, and blinds. Water Water is one of CavaLoma's defining assets. Eleven water wells and 18 permanent watering stations, including well-fed ponds and strategically placed troughs, provide excellent distribution for wildlife and livestock. The South Fork of the Guadalupe River traverses the ranch as a scenic wet-weather drainage, along with several seasonal creeks. The largest pond spans approximately 2.5± acres when full and is supplemented by a nearby well. Each major improvement area has a dedicated well. Vegetation & Terrain Years of careful stewardship and continuous cedar management have created a beautiful and highly usable Hill Country landscape with thriving native grasses, Live Oaks, Post Oaks, Spanish Oaks, Cedar Elms, Walnut trees, and other native vegetation. Gently rolling hills provide numerous long-range views while remaining well suited for ranching and recreation. The ranch takes its name from an extraordinary natural cavern hidden within the property. Accessible by a screened entrance and constructed stairway, the cave contains multiple chambers with impressive stalactite and stalagmite formations. Wildlife/Livestock Long-term habitat management, abundant water, and supplemental feeding have produced trophy-quality whitetail deer along with thriving populations of Axis deer, Blackbuck antelope, Red deer, Fallow deer, turkey, dove, feral hogs, varmints, and native quail. The ranch also maintains a first-class bison herd supported by years of thoughtful range management.
