Topography, Rangeland & Habitat

The ranch features gently rolling terrain with long views to the north. In the northeast corner, several natural draws cut through the land—great for hiking and well-traveled by wildlife. Across the pastures, post oaks are scattered like polka dots, adding character to the open landscape. Along the eastern boundary, a fenced 62-acre pasture has long served as a productive hay field for the ranch. The property is cross-fenced into two main grazing pastures, a dedicated hay field, and a wooded section—set up for efficient rotational grazing. Over the years, the ranch has consistently supported 60 cow-calf pairs.

Wildlife

The Live Branch Ranch offers an array of hunting opportunities, with a variety of game including white-tailed deer, turkey, hogs and plenty of dove. The northeastern draw holds potential for further wildlife development, creating even more prime hunting areas. 

Improvements

The centerpiece of the ranch is a German-style farmhouse designed by renowned San Antonio architect Michael Imber, known for his timeless, classical approach to Texas vernacular architecture. The 1,500-square-foot home features two bedrooms and an open-concept living room, kitchen, and dining area. Just off the back door is a spacious screened-in porch, perfect for relaxing and taking in the quiet surroundings.

Nearby sits a 500-square-foot single-room cabin, originally brought in from the hills of Tennessee, complete with a full kitchen and bathroom. North of the home, you’ll find an equipment barn, a manager’s office, and an equipment shed. Just beyond that are the working pens, tucked neatly behind the buildings.

The property’s exterior and interior fencing is also in great condition allowing for turn key use of the properties grazing potential.

Water

The ranch is home to several wells, the most notable being a 615-foot well in the Carrizo-Wilcox aquifer, capable of producing up to 300 gallons per minute. While it was previously used for irrigation, it hasn’t been operated in years and likely needs a new submersible pump.
In addition, five stock tanks are strategically placed across the ranch, providing reliable water sources for both livestock and wildlife in each pasture.

Area History

Gonzales County is steeped in Texas history, best known as the site of the first shots of the Texas Revolution during the 1835 Battle of Gonzales—where the famous “Come and Take It” flag was born. Established in 1836, the area grew through ranching, cotton, and trade along early rail lines. The historic town of Gonzales features well-preserved 19th-century architecture and a proud legacy of independence. Today, the county blends its agricultural roots with modern energy production from the Eagle Ford Shale, making it a unique mix of heritage, productivity, and Texas charm.
