7600 Willow City Loop, Willow City, TX 78675 - Gillespie County

Coal Creek Ranch is located on the famous Willow City Loop, one of the most beautiful areas in Texas. This live water Texas Hill Country ranch for sale provides a rare opportunity to own a luxury retreat featuring breathtaking vistas, a private lake, turnkey improvements, and a diverse landscape.

Landscape

Welcome to Coal Creek Ranch, a truly one-of-a-kind retreat in the Texas Hill Country. This exceptional property seamlessly blends natural beauty with diverse landscapes, offering an immediate escape into an atmosphere everyone can enjoy.

Much of the landscape in the western portion of the ranch is defined by live water Coal Creek. Mature live oak trees and granite bluffs line the creek, creating a stunning backdrop. Thoughtful brush management has been completed to open up the creek banks and showcase the mature hardwoods. This area of the ranch is ideal for creekside picnics, an afternoon swim, or wetting a line and reeling in a trophy bass.

As you head to the northern section of the ranch, elevations soar up to 1,300 feet, providing expansive, panoramic views that stretch for miles. From here, you can take in unforgettable sunsets and starry nights with the Willow City Loop and landmarks like Packsaddle Mountain, The Twin Knobs, and Bee Rock Mountain, visible from multiple vantage points.

The southern region of the property is characterized by sandy loam soils and vibrant live oak groves, interspersed with seasonal wet weather creeks and stock tanks. These create a serene environment that supports wildlife and a variety of outdoor activities.

Similar to the scenic landscapes along the Willow City Loop, Coal Creek Ranch is rich with fertile creek bottoms, rolling hills, and striking granite outcrops. One distinguishing feature, however, is its unique serpentine green granite, which is known for its distinctive green-red hues. This rare geological feature is the same granite used to construct the Texas State Capitol.

Water

There is an impressive array of surface and subsurface water features on the ranch, with the crown jewel being 3,430 feet of ownership on both sides of Coal Creek. A large dam on the creek creates a stunning 2.5-3 acre lake stocked with largemouth bass. The creek-fed lake is deep enough to sustain a healthy fish population and keep the water cool, making it perfect for recreational activities during the warmer months.

The property is also equipped with three water wells, producing approximately 8, 30, and 100 gallons per minute, ensuring the ranch is well-prepared to handle any drought conditions. Additionally, there are three surface tanks, one of which is supplemented by a well, providing ample water for wildlife and livestock.

Improvements

Coal Creek Ranch features a recently constructed 1,900 sq. ft. home with three bedrooms and three bathrooms, offering modern amenities for comfortable living. Additionally, a 40' x 60' barndominium provides ample storage for ranch essentials. The barn includes extra living space with a bunk room, kitchen, and bathroom. Both the house and barn are located along the scenic banks of Coal Creek. The property is fully fenced, and a well-maintained road system ensures easy access throughout the ranch. Many of the roads are topped with granite gravel, ensuring smooth travel across the property. Thoughtfully placed fire pits offer ideal spots for relaxation, including one near the picturesque cliffs of Coal Creek and another on a hilltop, perfect for enjoying panoramic sunset views.

Significant brush management has been completed, removing the majority of cedar trees from the ranch. This allows rainwater and runoff to nourish the mature hardwoods or flow into the creeks and surface tanks, enhancing the natural beauty and sustainability of the land.

Wildlife

The ranch is a haven for native game, including whitetail deer, turkey, dove, and wild hogs. Free-ranging exotic game, such as Aoudad and Axis deer, has also been spotted on the property, making it an ideal location for hunting and wildlife observation. There are two Ranch King blinds and multiple feeders spread out across the ranch that will convey with the sale. The property is currently wildlife-exempt.
