Property Description: Welcome to CLC Confluence Ranch. An incredible 108 acre live water playground. The ultimate recreational, hunting, fishing and relaxing getaway. Upon entering the gate, you are greeted with incredible natural beauty with fields of native prairie grasses and multiple tree varieties such as mature Pecan, Oak, Mesquite, Willow and Cypress trees filling the streams edge. Meandering along the pecan and live oak fields there are multiple clearings and vistas to enjoy. Once to the west side of the property you will come upon a picturesque Cypress lined stream known as Wilbarger Creek. The stream probably takes its name from Josiah Wilbarger, who was granted land near the mouth of the creek in 1832. The stream and property traverses south along the west side property line all the way down to the southwest corner of the property where it meets the confluence of the Colorado river. There are multiple access points to enter the stream and river including a boat ramp next to the river campsite. The perfect spot to fish or go for a paddle. The Wilbarger Paddling Trail is also accessible from here. As you head from the Colorado river back towards the barndominium you will come across 2 ponds partially dug out and an elevated area perfectly planned for the future homesite and to maximize the water views.
Improvements: These include a recently built 2 story barn and ground floor barndominium with complete off grid capability. State of the art solar and battery system and generator with LP gas for back up power, water well and new septic system. There is also a workshop, cleaning station, shooting/archery range, and equipment storage. Multiple roads and extensive trails throughout the ranch. Internet and cell service available as well.
Water: The water is truly extraordinary. Approximately 1 mile of year-around Wilbarger Creek as well as approximately 2000ft of the Colorado River. There are also 2 partially completed tanks on the property and one new water well with a depth of 260ft.
Vegetation: Acreage consists mostly of rolling fields with an abundance of mature trees and grasses, including groves of mature Pecan trees in the bottoms. Stream and river are lined with Oaks, Willow and Cypress. Rich soils throughout make for good grazing or food plots.
Wildlife: There is a true abundance of native wildlife and waterfowl on the ranch and in the area. The lush pecan bottoms and incredible amount of water attract whitetail deer, pigs, turkey, dove and an abundance of waterfowl including many varieties of ducks and geese. The fishing is excellent as well with opportunity for catfish, bass and gar. There are 2 tanks dug out but not filled as well as multiple fields suited for additional food plots.
Schools: Bastrop ISD.
