Property Description
Mill Pond Ranch
Marble Falls, TX
Burnet County
431.116 +/- Acres
The Mill Pond Ranch features the most incredible water we've seen on a ranch in Texas bar none. The unequaled highlight is a waterfall flowing into a natural hole that encompasses several acres and is apparently over 60 feet deep (dubbed the Mill Pond), which looks like it should be a state park. Theres well over a mile and a half of both sides of Hamilton Creek which has rapids, pools and is limestone rock bottom with large bluffs along some stretches in addition to 4 large concrete dams. The dams themselves are incredible, some of them over 200 feet wide and as much as 14 feet tall, they back up acres and acres worth of spring fed water.
The history of the property is also really neat, so much so that the state set up a monument close to the Mill Pond back in 1936. A community of Mormon settlers came in and put an actual working mill on the Mill Pond back in the mid 1800s which created the namesake. They were eventually run out of the area by Indian attacks, but County Road 340 which fronts the ranch and runs from Marble Falls to Burnet is still known as Mormon Mill Road as a result of the site history.
Boasting over 2 miles of frontage along Mormon Mill Road, the ranch provides easy access and convenience. The topography of the land showcases captivating views in every direction, with elevations ranging from 780 to 1,040 feet above sea level. Towering live oaks, post oaks, and elms, and other hardwoods adorn the landscape and selective cover has been left for wildlife habitat, while some has been selectively cleared to highlight views.
A 3,192. Sq Ft home sits above the Mill Pond and makes the ranch ready to be enjoyed immediately and a barn completed in 2022 sits across the creek from the other improvements.
Nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts will be enthralled by the flourishing wildlife population that calls this ranch home. Deer, turkey, hogs, dove, and ducks thrive in the diverse ecosystem and an occasionally elk, blackbuck and other exotics have been seen, offering ample opportunities for hunting and wildlife observation. The large lakes created by the concrete dams have been stocked with bass and baitfish and the Mill Pond itself is virtually it's own ecosystem, and is inhabited by many gamefish species.
One thing is for certain, there will never be another place like this. This is once in a lifetime opportunity to own a legacy ranch with the type of live-water that would make any jaw drop.
