Horseshoe Bend of the Colorado River Ranch A truly amazing Colorado River ranch that you have to see to appreciate! When you think about a complete ranch package this one is going to check all the boxes for not only a productive property but also for a premier recreational ranch. Water is everywhere with just under two miles of the Colorado River flanking the north and northeast boundary of the ranch, along with three stock tanks and wet weather creeks. Terrain varies from gentle rolling hills with wheat fields and native pasture and coastal along the river to large elevation changes. If hunting is your passion you will be hard pressed to find an area with a greater variety of wildlife including deer, turkey, hogs and dove. Enjoy fishing in the river and the stock tanks. Arrowheads and grinding stones have also been found on the ranch. The family can enjoy kayaking, fishing, looking for arrowheads and exploring! The night sky will be absolutely stunning for star gazing and making s’mores. The ranch has been leased for wheat field production and grazing yearlings, along with hay production. If you are looking for a quiet and private retreat and no traffic, look no further, this is it! Located at the end of Catclaw Road, this ranch has been in the same family for over 100 years. The ranch home is an old farm house, built in approximately 1920, comfortable 2 bedroom, 1 bath with metal roof, and an attached garage. There are RV hook ups for deer hunters. The home is serviced by a water well, which is documented to be 44 ft. deep and producing 8 GPM, drilled in 1979. This home would make a great guest cottage, with numerous desirable locations with nice views to build your dream home!

Eight thousand four hundred ninety-eight County Road 121 in San Saba sits at the end of Catclaw Road on 373.4 acres of Colorado River ranch land where the real estate is the recreation itself. Nearly two miles of the Colorado River flanks the northern and northeastern boundary, creating a private playground for hunting, fishing, kayaking, and exploration that most weekend warriors spend years searching for and never find.

The property delivers what serious outdoor enthusiasts demand: water everywhere. Beyond the Colorado River frontage, three stock tanks and seasonal creeks provide fishing access without leaving your land. White-tailed deer, wild turkey, feral hogs, and dove populations make this stretch of San Saba County a legitimate hunting destination. The terrain moves from gentle rolling hills with wheat fields and native pasture to significant elevation changes near the river, offering natural blinds and vantage points that experienced hunters recognize immediately. Archaeological finds including arrowheads and grinding stones scattered across the property hint at centuries of human activity drawn to this same Colorado River access.

The 1920-era farmhouse serves as a functional base camp rather than a primary residence. The two-bedroom, one-bath frame structure includes a metal roof, attached one-car garage, and RV hookups specifically designed for hunting camps. A documented 44-foot well drilled in 1979 produces 8 gallons per minute, supplying water for the main house and supporting the property's agricultural history of wheat production, yearling grazing, and hay operations.

San Saba Independent School District serves the area, though this property functions as a working ranch and recreational retreat rather than a family homestead. The location at San Saba ISD's boundaries places it on the rural edge where connectivity fades and isolation becomes the feature, not a limitation.

At $3.72 million or $3,390 per square foot for the structures, the actual value lies in the 373.4 acres, the Colorado River frontage, and the established infrastructure for both productive agriculture and intensive recreation. The 100-year family ownership speaks to land quality and water reliability. For buyers seeking a private escape where weekends mean actual hunting camps, river fishing, stargazing without light pollution, and land they control entirely, this combination of water access, game populations, and established ranch operations delivers what money typically cannot buy near major Texas cities.
