This property can be divided roughly in half.
Beautiful working ranch, one of the last ones left in the area, located in the
rolling Hill Country of Central Texas, 14 miles west of Mason. Water is
abundant on this property, both subterranean well water and spring fed surface
water. The area abounds with wild life, making it a hunter's dream come true.
It is heavily populated with white tail deer, quail, turkey and dove. The climate
and terrain are ideal for exotic imports. There is an abundance of live oak,
post oak, forbs, and native grasses, but little mesquite or cedar. This property
includes Cut Off mountain, elevation 1954 feet, topped by a plateau of about 30
acres. The mountain is an excellent game retreat and has a view to the distant
horizon in all directions. The ranch is rectangular in shape and has excellent
access with about one and a half miles of frontage on U.S. 377. Big Bluff
Creek, a large wet weather creek runs in front of the cabin. 1999 taxes with

(mid Feb.) and during drought conditions. This has got to be a gorgeous place

close up map
the property is rectangular in shape with US 377 forming the southern
boundary and a county road forming the western border. Cut Off Mountain
in the southwest corner is actually a larger feature than is suggested by the
little symbol. The symbol is at the northern tip and the mountain extends to
the south about half way toward 377. Big Bluff Creek actually has another
branch that joins the branch shown west of the cabin and extends westerly
off of the property.
