94 ACRES – BLANCO COUNTY SECLUDED WATER PARADISE

94 ACRES – BLANCO COUNTY SECLUDED WATER PARADISE PEDERNALES GROTTO RANCH

94 ACRES – BLANCO COUNTY PEDERNALES GROTTO RANCH LOCATION: This fine recreational parcel is located near the end of little-used Gipson Road, a well maintained private easement road, about one mile off of paved Towhead Valley Road. Johnson City is 5 miles east (restaurants, shops, services, schools, supplies), Fredericksburg (fine restaurants, shops, jet airport) is 25 miles west, and the famed Texas Wine Country is in between the two all along US 290. The area is composed of 100 acre parcels and up for the most part, with cattle, sheep, goats, wineries and hunting driving the local economy. Austin is 50 miles east, while San Antonio, the nation’s 7 th largest city, is 60 miles south, both with major medical, universities, airports and numerous large corporations. The location is central to all things Texas Hill Country, one of the nation’s most prized and sought-after addresses, and well known as home of prime investment land. For more information on Blanco County and Johnson City, go to www.co.blanco.tx.us/ and http://johnsoncitytx.org/. ECOREGION: PGR is located in the ecoregion of the Edwards Plateau Woodland. It contains the central part of the Edwards Plateau and receives sufficient rainfall to support woodland. The Edwards Plateau region comprises an area of central Texas commonly known as the Texas Hill Country. It is a land of many springs, stony hills, and steep canyons. The region is home to a whole host of rare plants and animals found nowhere else on earth. Average annual rainfall ranges from 15 to 34 inches. Rainfall is highest in May or June and September. Soils of the Edwards Plateau are usually shallow with a variety of surface textures. They are underlain by limestone. Elevations range from slightly less than 100 feet to over 3,000 feet above sea level. Several river systems dissect the surface, creating a rough and well-drained landscape. The limestone of the Edward's Plateau is honeycombed with thousands of caves. Beneath the eastern edge of the Plateau lies a hidden world of underground lakes known as the Edwards Aquifer. This precious water resource also is home to a number of curious creatures, such as the blind salamander. Today, the Edwards Plateau is characterized by grasslands, juniper/oak woodlands, and plateau live oak or mesquite savannah. Open grasslands and savannahs were more common in pre-settlement times than they are today. The grasslands of Ecoregion 30a are considered a southern extension of the mixed grass prairie, expressed as tallgrass or shortgrass dependent upon soil type, moisture availability, and grazing pressure. Grasses include little bluestem, Texas wintergrass, yellow Indiangrass, white tridens, Texas cupgrass, sideoats grama, seep muhly, and common curlymesquite. Ranching is the primary agricultural industry in the region. For more information, visit the Texas Parks & Wildlife Department (TPWD) at www.tpwd.texas.gov.

WATER: The site lies along the south bank of the stunning, spring-fed Pedernales River, for about 2,100 feet, with about half of that frontage hikable and accessible, the other half being chiseled limestone bluffs with jaw-dropping vistas and homesites from the crests. There is much deep water in this area, somewhat unusual for this drainage, and large fish are often observed in the deeper holes, which are swimmable and floatable. A second notable water feature is an enchanting, spring-fed creek that appears to flow all the way through the ranch much of the time, as minnows and fish are visible throughout. This creek is a classic babbling brook, with a couple of deep holes that may be floatable tied together by an endless series of waterfalls, which culminates in one of the more scenic grotto waterfalls known in the area – hence the ranch name. A water well is located in the area of the improvements, and was tested at a whopping 100 GPM, with static level of only 11 feet! Texas Water Development Board (TWDB) maps show good groundwater in the area. For further information on area groundwater, please visit the Blanco-Pedernales Groundwater Conservation District’s official website at http://www.blancocountygroundwater.org/. The annual rainfall at this location is 33.99 inches. LAND: The site rolls gently from the south to north, culminating in the sizzling river frontage, following the noisy, winding creek all the way. Soils vary from loamy to rocky, with large sycamores, liveoaks and pecans found along the creek waterway. Cedar, elm and other hardwoods are present, with persimmon and agarita being the primary woody shrubs. Some of the river frontage is dominated by large limestone bluffs, home to spectacular river view homesites of undeveloped land on the other side. Only one home is partially visible downstream from this site, which also contains evidence of Native American occupation. Level areas on the south end of the parcel are suitable for low-intensity cultivation or horses, but much of the norther portion consists of limestone outcrops. Overall, the look and feel is classic Texas Hill Country with all the trimmings. IMPROVEMENTS: The parcel is fenced and has two pipe and electric gate entrances, with an all-weather caliche road to the river. A metal storage building has a small apartment attached, and is served by a well and septic. A fishing cabin near the river has no value. SUMMARY: If you seek lots of power in a package less than 100 acres, make this a must-see. PGR features permanent, deep river water complemented by a strong, noisy creek, placing the offering among the more unique small recreational parcels

Approved by the Texas Real Estate Commission for Voluntary Use Texas law requires all real estate licensees to give the following information about brokerage services to prospective buyers, tenants, sellers and landlords.

Information About Brokerage Services

B

efore working with a real estate broker, you should know that the duties of a broker depend on whom the broker represents. If you are a prospective seller or landlord (owner) or a prospective buyer or tenant (buyer), you should know that the broker who lists the property for sale or lease is the owner’s agent. A broker who acts as a subagent represents the owner in cooperation with the listing broker. A broker who acts as a buyer’s agent represents the buyer. A broker may act as an intermediary between the parties if the parties consent in writing. A broker can assist you in locating a property, preparing a contract or lease, or obtaining financing without representing you. A broker is obligated by law to treat you honestly. IF THE BROKER REPRESENTS THE OWNER: The broker becomes the owner’s agent by entering into an agreement with the owner, usually through a written listing agreement, or by agreeing to act as a subagent by accepting an offer of subagency from the listing broker. A subagent may work in a different real estate office. A listing broker or subagent can assist the buyer but does not represent the buyer and must place the interests of the owner first. The buyer should not tell the owner’s agent anything the buyer would not want the owner to know because an owner’s agent must disclose to the owner any material information known to the agent. IF THE BROKER REPRESENTS THE BUYER: The broker becomes the buyer’s agent by entering into an agreement to represent the buyer, usually through a written buyer representation agreement. A buyer’s agent can assist the owner but does not represent the owner and must place the interests of the buyer first. The owner should not tell a buyer’s agent anything the owner would not want the buyer to know because a buyer’s agent must disclose to the buyer any material information known to the agent. IF THE BROKER ACTS AS AN INTERMEDIARY: A broker may act as an intermediary between the parties if the broker complies with The Texas Real Estate License

Act. The broker must obtain the written consent of each party to the transaction to act as an intermediary. The written consent must state who will pay the broker and, in conspicuous bold or underlined print, set forth the broker’s obligations as an intermediary. The broker is required to treat each party honestly and fairly and to comply with The Texas Real Estate License Act. A broker who acts as an intermediary in a transaction: (1) shall treat all parties honestly; (2) may not disclose that the owner will accept a price less than the asking price unless authorized in writing to do so by the owner; (3) may not disclose that the buyer will pay a price greater than the price submitted in a written offer unless authorized in writing to do so by the buyer; and (4) may not disclose any confidential information or any information that a party specifically instructs the broker in writing not to disclose unless authorized in writing to disclose the information or required to do so by The Texas Real Estate License Act or a court order or if the information materially relates to the condition of the property. With the parties’ consent, a broker acting as an intermediary between the parties may appoint a person who is licensed under The Texas Real Estate License Act and associated with the broker to communicate with and carry out instructions of one party and another person who is licensed under that Act and associated with the broker to communicate with and carry out instructions of the other party. If you choose to have a broker represent you, you should enter into a written agreement with the broker that clearly establishes the broker’s obligations and your obligations. The agreement should state how and by whom the broker will be paid. You have the right to choose the type of representation, if any, you wish to receive. Your payment of a fee to a broker does not necessarily establish that the broker represents you. If you have any questions regarding the duties and responsibilities of the broker, you should resolve those questions before proceeding.

Real estate licensee asks that you acknowledge receipt of this information about brokerage services for the licensee’s records.

Buyer, Seller, Landlord or Tenant

Texas Real Estate Brokers and Salespersons are licensed and regulated by the Texas Real Estate Commission (TREC). If you have a question or complaint regarding a real estate licensee, you should contact TREC at P.O. Box 12188, Austin, Texas 78711-2188 or 512-465-3960.
