3868 Cypress Mill Rd

The Rio Cielo Ranch is a spectacular example of a Hill Country live water paradise in the Cypress Mill area. Within an easy drive from both Austin or San Antonio, located on both sides of the Pedernales River and traversed by Cottonwood Creek, the opportunities for enjoying Rio Cielo are endless. Cottonwood Creek features several developed lakes and is located in front of the beautiful ranch home and cantina. IMPROVEMENTS: The property features a wonderful two-story stone and frame home situated where you can listen to Cottonwood Creek flowing over the dam from the screened porch. The home has six bedrooms and three baths, an open floor plan and large wood-burning fireplace. Between the home and the creek is a wonderful firepit for storytelling. Across the driveway from the home is a game room or party barn where many guests can be entertained. Elsewhere on the ranch is a nice vehicle barn, shop and game cleaning area with a walk-in cooler. At a high point overlooking the Pedernales is a gazebo that also doubles as a clay shooting spot. After the clays are shot and the guns put away there is no better spot to view a Texas sunset. Some of the ranch roads are paved and others are improved with crushed granite. WATER: The property has both sides of the beautiful Pedernales River for 2,280 feet with the portion across the river providing protection and privacy that is rarely found. The river bank has deeper alluvial soils and a gentle slope to the river. In addition, the ranch is traversed by 2,000 feet of Cottonwood Creek. The creek has been dammed in two places creating deep pools for swimming and fishing. The property has two operating water wells, both producing between 30 – 60 gpm. The wells are 200’ deep and 185’ deep respectively. Both wells produce from the Ellenburger aquifer complex. Contact agent for more details.
