000 Rm 336

Blue Frio River Ranch is a one-of-a-kind 70 acre live-water property located just 1.5 miles north of Leakey, Texas. With both sides of the West Frio River running through the ranch, this offering blends historic charm, natural beauty, and year-round recreational enjoyment into one cohesive legacy property. From its deep cultural roots and historical Indian artifacts, to its exceptional river access and turn-key infrastructure, this is one of the premier offerings in the Frio River Valley. The ranch is ideally situated along County Road 336, just one mile from the Leakey Airport and twelve miles from Garner State Park, making the ranch accessible from anywhere in the country. Its location in the heart of the scenic Frio Canyon provides easy access to popular Hill Country destinations like Leakey, Concan, and Camp Wood. You'll find live music, dancing, and steak dinners just minutes away at House Pasture, while the Frio River's renowned tubing, swimming, and kayaking stretches are close at hand. The ranch is also positioned within comfortable driving distance of several major cities, including San Antonio at 102 miles, Kerrville at 67 miles, and Uvalde at 42 miles. The landscape is a signature display of Hill Country beauty. Towering pecans, ancient live oaks, sycamores, and cedar elms blanket the property, creating a peaceful and shaded environment. The terrain transitions between open pastures and wooded sections, with multi-acre paddocks ranging from three to six acres designed for efficient land use. Natural seep springs meander across the ranch, flowing into the West Frio River and adding to both the aesthetic and ecological value. The elevation, vegetation, and water features all come together to create a property that is not only functional, but visually stunning. The centerpiece of the property is its incredible stretch of the West Frio River. With more than 1,000 feet of both banks under ownership, the river here is spring-fed and crystal clear-often described as the Caribbean of the Hill Country. The riverbed features smooth limestone, deep emerald pools, and gently flowing rapids. The water remains clear year-round, making it ideal for swimming, fly fishing, floating, and relaxing under the shade of mature Pecan trees. A naturally formed gravel beach area creates the perfect spot for outdoor entertaining, cookouts, or quiet reflection. In addition to the river, multiple seep springs run throughout the property, adding to the overall water supply and enhancing the natural environment. Importantly, this stretch of river has shown resilience during recent flood events, with no reported damage to its banks or surrounding infrastructure. With two water wells, over 1,000 feet of West Frio River frontage, and multiple spring-fed seeps, the 70-acre Blue Frio River Ranch stands as one of the most abundantly watered properties of its size in the entire Texas Hill Country. The ranch includes the original West Pasture home, built in the 1960s as part of the historic Culpepper Equestrian Ranch. This 1,600 square foot residence features three bedrooms, two full bathrooms, and a large central living space that is both functional and inviting. Additional structures include an eight-stall horse barn, a detached 400 square foot office or guest suite with a half bath, and a full bed and bathroom. Two water wells supply strategically all improvements on the ranch, and the property is cross-fenced with improved ranch roads and strategically placed wildlife feeders. Everything has been thoughtfully laid out to make the ranch fully operational and ready to enjoy from day one, whether your focus is fishing and recreation, livestock or wildlife, or relaxing in the most beautiful part of Texas. Wildlife frequently observed on the property includes whitetail deer, axis deer, fallow, blackbuck antelope, Aoudad sheep, wild hogs, turkey, and dove.
