Positioned approximately one-half mile from County Road 243 at the highest point of the ranch, the main residence captures sweeping views of northern Williamson County and the surrounding Florence, Texas landscape.

Berry Creek Ranch has been in the same family for generations and is the perfect mixed-use ranch with various features that any land buyer can appreciate. The highlight of the ranch is undoubtedly its privacy. Located at the dead end of one-half mile long CR 243, the ranch is secluded from outsiders as it is bordered on 3 sides by ranches that have been owned (and lived on) by the same families for generations. Approximately half the ranch is improved pasture which provides great yearly hay production, with the remainder of the ranch being dense cover made up of century old live oaks, along with various other hardwood species. The ranch provides a nice, well-maintained trail system making it easy to navigate in its entirety and is complete with quality fencing and cross fencing to run the current ongoing cattle operation. Rounding out the features of the ranch are the hunting opportunities where there has been very little hunting pressure over the years by ownership. Whether its whitetail deer, turkey or doves, the property provides a pristine habitat for native wildlife to flourish. Additionally, the 2,400± feet of live water Berry Creek, which traverses the western portion of the ranch, provides numerous recreational possibilities.
