All these Texas Hill country ranches are going up for sale because water is becoming scarce. Water tables, just like Canyon Lake are at record lows and wells that have always produced are drying up. This is a critical problem to consider when buying in parts of Texas.
I have two homes in Hunt and this is the dream. Can't imagine having this and selling it because I can't imagine anything better to do with the money. I guess things change for everyone, no matter the amount of money.
When your taps and wells run dry, it will make it very hard to enjoy that life. That's a reason a lot of Texas Hill Country ranches are going on the market at a record pace and a lower prices.
New owners, please re-plant the native mountain cedars that thrive in limestone-based soil. These developers are ruining percolation of water into your springs by removing the cedars. Roots create fissures for water to recharge the aquifers.
Most landowners receive conflicting information regarding the ashe juniper or cedar. There was a big push fifteen years ago to remove as much cedar as possible to increase springflows. This proved to be true in many cases, as we documented in some of our videos for environmental agencies back in the 2010s. However, I'm sure there is a sweet spot between total clearing versus maintaining the natural ecology. One of the issues that experts discussed in our early videos about this was the fact that, hundreds of years ago, before modern settlements, cedar was controlled naturally by brush fires and things like that. Now that we suppress fires, the cedar doesn't have that natural check on its spread. There are a lot of good RUclips videos about ashe juniper and dispelling some myths, but in the end, it's all of our job to do what we can to educate landowners about proper land management and conservation. Thanks for your comment!
@@AaronYates Thanks for the wonderful response! Always great to see water conservation information being spread in a reasonable manner. The scorched earth approach is painful to see when the real answer is a balanced approach, like you mentioned. Climate accurate landscaping is another huge way to help the water issues in the hill country. Pretty sad to see the condition it is in these days with all the lush grass yards.
Beautiful property, but the interiors have no 'warmth' to them, not homey, rather sterile, I see a lot of modern european interior type design, again no 'warmth'.
I'd agree with you on many of the modern looks, especially the bizarre black and white "stormtrooper" homes nowadays. But the 4000 sq ft building here was breathtaking for us. Beautiful mix of modern with the woody interior and so much natural light. Just fabulous 👌

Here's a video we made about this subject in 2011.

When you buy it, you can make it your own style, with more warmth.
It was a strange architectural choice for a ranch.

Nice, but overpriced. Should be in the 6 to 8 million dollar range.
That’s just beautiful , 🙌🙌🙌
