Surrounded by larger ranches and bordering the historic Prade Ranch, this property boasts a series of fern covered springs cascading from the limestone bluffs, forming a crystal-clear creek that flows year-round.

Situated 12 miles north of Leakey, Texas, and accessible via a privately gated easement road from Highway 336, this property offers both seclusion and convenience. Don't miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own a piece of natural history and create your own paradise in the hills.
