Luling, TX 78648 (Gonzales County)
About this property
Some ranches are just land. Clearspring River Ranch is a legacy. Set 37 minutes west of Austin on 525± deeded acres, this extraordinary Central Texas property delivers what most buyers only dream about — 2.4 miles of private, spring-fed San Marcos River frontage flowing at a constant 72°F every single day of the year. Sandy beaches, world-class bass fishing, swimming, kayaking, and floating, all completely private and entirely yours. Below ground, the entire ranch sits atop the Carrizo-Wilcox Aquifer, one of Texas's most prolific freshwater formations. Above ground, mature Live Oaks and hundreds of native Pecans canopy the river corridor and upland pastures, while whitetail deer, turkey, and dove roam freely throughout. A productive cattle operation with working pens, a main ranch house, private hunting cabin, equipment barn, and solar-powered gated entrance round out a turnkey setup that is ready on day one. Agricultural exemption in place keeps carrying costs in check. Properties with this combination of live water, groundwater, proximity to Austin, and sheer natural beauty do not come available twice. Clearspring River Ranch is not a compromise — it is the destination.
