welcomes you to:

The Deep River Ranch
Lampasas County, Texas

573 +/- Acres

This 573 +/- acres of rugged beauty just waiting for you to enjoy. Perhaps the biggest asset the ranch has to offer is the ½ mile of Colorado River frontage that you can access the entire stretch of the frontage. The river varies from deep waters to areas where you have a "rapid" effect resulting from the large rocks in the river. A ramp allows easy access for launching your boat into the deep Colorado River waters for a day of some of the best fishing you will ever hope to find. The river bank is mowed and easy to drive from one end of the ranch to the other along the banks of the Colorado River. Near one end of the ranch you can see an older timber bridge that allows train access across the river. Large boulders can be seen in the river adding to its character and beauty.

The ranch has an older rock home that has been updated to make a very nice cabin to enjoy the weekends. There are 4 hook-ups for RV’s, restroom and laundry area, and another bunkhouse to round out the facilities. The camp area is located near a great fishing pond and has large live oaks to provide shade for relaxing and enjoying the peace and quiet of the country. A large metal barn with rollup doors on each end and side awnings gives you a place to store implements, 4 wheelers, tractors, and hunting supplies.

The terrain is rugged but easily accessible. Several deep, tree covered draws traverse the ranch and create the perfect environment for the wildlife. Scattered over the ranch are surface tanks all stocked with fish. There is some cultivation that creates an environment for bird hunting and the opportunity for income from the crops. The tree cover is great throughout the ranch with a variety of trees including live oaks, post oaks, elms, hackberry, pecan, sycamore, cottonwood, and mesquite. Native brush cover is excellent helping make this an ideal home for the abundant wildlife….on this ranch you will find plenty of deer, turkey, dove, and hogs to insure a great hunting adventure.

The ranch is in the heart of the hill country with plenty of those “hill country” views for you to enjoy. It is convenient to the Austin and San Antonio area as well as the Dallas-Ft Worth metroplex. This is truly a year round recreation property for you and your family to enjoy for a lifetime.

The Colorado River is the 18th longest river in the United States.^[1] and the longest river with both its source and mouth within Texas; however its drainage basin and some of its usually dry tributaries do extend into New Mexico. The 862-mile (1,387 km) long river^[1] flows generally southeast from Dawson County through Marble Falls, Austin, Bastrop, Smithville, La Grange, Columbus, Wharton, and Bay City before emptying into the Gulf of Mexico at Matagorda Bay.^[2]

The Colorado River, which means "colored red"^[3], was frequently confused by Spanish explorers with the Brazos River to the north.^[2] It is this confusion as well as an alleged mapping error that is believed to have led to its misnaming. The river is an important source of water for farming, cities, and electrical power production. Major man-made reservoirs on the river include Lake Buchanan, Inks Lake, Lake LBJ, Lake Marble Falls, Lake Travis, Lake Austin, and Lady Bird Lake in Austin. Collectively, these lakes are known as the Highland Lakes. In addition to power plants operating on each of the major lakes, waters of the Colorado are used for cooling the South Texas Nuclear Project, near Bay City. The Colorado River Municipal Water District owns and operates three reservoirs upstream of the Highland Lakes, Lake J. B. Thomas near Snyder, E. V. Spence Reservoir near Robert Lee, and O. H. Ivie Reservoir near Ballinger.

Flood control and use of the Colorado River is managed by two agencies established by the Texas Legislature, the Upper Colorado River Authority, and the Lower Colorado River Authority. There are 11 major reservoirs along the Colorado River

What’s In A Name?

Ranch Hand was chosen for a name because of the qualities required to be a ranch hand in the old west. A ranch hand gathered strays, worked livestock, doctored sick animals, but was more than a cowboy. A ranch hand cut wood, fixed fence and went to town for supplies, but was more than an errand boy. A ranch hand took any job that would help the outfit for which he worked.

A ranch hand was first of all loyal, honest, and unselfish, keeping the best interest of the people he worked for first. He was committed to doing his best and tenacious, never giving up until the job was completed.

Some would say that these characteristics of a ranch hand fall into the category of ethics. We say that it is simply making a hand. We are committed to make a hand for each of those for whom we have the privilege to work.
