    Description

    Rarely does a property embody everything that makes the Texas Hill Country so special — wide-open spaces, breathtaking water, and stunning elevations. Rocky Creek Ranch brings all of that to life across 710+/- rolling acres, just under an hour from Austin. This exceptional property combines year-round live water, comfortable improvements, and natural beauty in a location that feels worlds away, yet remains close to it all. Live Water & Natural Features: The property offers over 3,500 feet of live-water frontage along Rocky Creek, a spring-fed creek that features a deep swimming hole created by a concrete dam — perfect for kayaking, fishing, swimming, or simply relaxing by the water. Two additional spring-fed ponds enhance the landscape and provide even more opportunities for livestock and recreational enjoyment. With its dependable water sources, diverse terrain, and mature tree cover, this ranch offers an ideal setting for both outdoor adventure and peaceful escape. Improvements: Rocky Creek Ranch is fully equipped and ready to enjoy from day one! The log-cabin style main home on the water's edge spans 2,665 square feet with 4 beds and 3 baths, blending rustic charm with everyday comfort. A guest/hunter's cabin offers 3 beds and 2 baths, while a nearby pavilion, swimming pool, and oversized smoker/grill create the perfect setup for entertaining. The ranch also features a skeet shooting range, adding to the wide range of recreational opportunities on the property. Whether gathering with family, hosting friends, or simply unwinding in nature, this property is designed for memorable experiences that can be shared for generations. Land, Wildlife & Recreation: Spanning 500 acres of rolling hills and natural bluff lines, the ranch features approximately 180 feet of elevation change and an abundance of mature oak trees. The land is high-fenced on three sides, offering privacy and supporting thriving populations of whitetail deer, turkey, bass, catfish, and perch. With an agricultural exemption in place, irrigation rights from Rocky Creek, and no restrictions, the property offers both flexibility and opportunity. Location & Access: Ideally located in the community of Oakalla, Rocky Creek Ranch sits along FM 963, just four miles from Highway 183. The ranch offers exceptional convenience — only 25 minutes to Liberty Hill, 40 minutes to Cedar Park, and under 1 hour to Austin. This prime location provides the best of both worlds: privacy and seclusion without sacrificing accessibility. Rocky Creek Ranch is a rare Hill Country offering — combining size, year-round live water, and turn-key improvements in a highly sought-after location. From its natural beauty to its recreational amenities, this property captures the essence of Hill Country living and stands ready to create new memories for years to come.

      "It’s quiet, neighbors are friendly and it’s in between 2 towns, copperas cove and Lampasas. We also have a Dollar General in Kempner so a drive all the way in to town can be avoided for basic groceries. "

      "Its a small town just do some research. Not a bad area everyone keeps to themselves. Kids play in the neighborhoods, not much noise. Lots of deer at night. There are offenders in the area but even they keep to themselves and shut in. Plenty of room to roam only one way into the neighborhood one way out. Unless you drive on to someones property and use their private exit."
