Listing Description
Tucked away in the rolling hills of Spicewood, Texas, Otra Vez Ranch is a rare 434 acre recreational escape that offers the perfect balance of natural beauty, Hill Country heritage, and proximity to Austin. Since its acquisition in 1989, this storied property has been a beloved family retreat - a place where generations have gathered to ride horses, raise cattle, hunt, hike, swim, and, more recently, care for their small herd of zebras.
A landscape rich in diversity, the ranch unfolds with dramatic views, spring-fed grottos, and wide pastures teeming with wildlife. From fossil hunting to fireside evenings beneath the oaks, Otra Vez is more than a ranch - it's a place to return to again and again.

Land & Water
The terrain is nothing short of enchanting. With 280 feet of elevation change, Otra Vez Ranch reveals sweeping vistas, rolling pastures, and a network of gullies and wooded ridges. Carefully managed through decades of stewardship, the land is both scenic and functional:
- Native oaks and grasses dominate the landscape, with cedar cleared selectively to enhance grazing and preserve wildlife habitat
- Fenced into 3 primary pastures, with a 4th near completion
- Brackett-Real and clay loam soils support a rich ecological foundation
- Extensive road and trail system allows for seamless access throughout
Water is abundant and diverse:
- 3 natural springs feed grottos, swimming holes, and a seasonal creek
- 2 water wells supply the homes and a large concrete stock tank-turned-swimming-pool
- Little Cypress Creek, a seasonal tributary, winds across the north end of the property
