Spring Creek Ranch is a historic 312± acre Hill Country property conveniently located approximately 6 miles from Bandera, 8 miles from Medina, and about one hour from San Antonio. Held by the same family since the 1960s, the ranch offers a rare combination of live spring water, productive cattle country, recreational appeal, and long-term development potential. The property’s history dates back to the 1800s and the days of Samuel A. Maverick, who assembled numerous ranch holdings throughout the area. Today, Spring Creek Ranch remains a working cattle ranch with approximately one mile of Winans Creek frontage, improved coastal fields, native Hill Country terrain, and remarkable historic water features.
Improvements
The headquarters are highlighted by a solid rock ranch house dating back to the early 1900s. The home and surrounding grounds showcase extensive hand-laid rockwork that reflects the ranch’s history and craftsmanship. Another house on the ranch is a smaller two bed camp house with central air and heat. There are multiple barns for equipment and hay. Rock steps lead from the ranch house down to the spring-fed pool, where a hand-built rock trough captures and channels the clear spring water. These historic improvements create a setting that is both functional and visually impressive.
Land
Spring Creek Ranch has been operated as a productive cattle ranch and includes improved coastal fields suitable for grazing or hay production. The property also features thicker native cover that provides excellent habitat for wildlife and creates strong recreational and hunting opportunities. Approximately one mile of Winans Creek frontage adds character, privacy, and future development potential. The combination of open pasture, wooded areas, creek frontage, and convenient access makes the ranch suitable for continued agricultural use, a private family retreat, or a long-term investment.
Water
Water is one of the defining features of Spring Creek Ranch. Multiple natural springs located below the ranch house produce an abundance of clear, clean, cold water. The spring water flows through a hand-laid rock trough into a spring-fed pond that is also uses as a pool. Overflow water then continues downhill into two good-sized stock tanks, providing dependable water throughout the headquarters area. The ranch also has multiple water wells, with some currently active and others not in use. The abundance of spring water, wells, tanks, and Winans Creek frontage makes the water resources on Spring Creek Ranch truly remarkable.
Wildlife
The ranch supports an abundance of native and free-ranging Hill Country wildlife. Species commonly found on the property include whitetail deer, axis deer, wild hogs, turkey, dove, and a variety of predators and other native wildlife. The mixture of improved pasture, native brush, creek frontage, and dependable water creates excellent habitat for both livestock and wildlife.
