Views of Lake Travis from the Montandon Ranch

It’s rare to find big acreage close to the main body of Lake Travis and even more rare to find something that’s easily buildable. The Montandon Ranch on the North Shore of Lake Travis in the Singleton Bend area features 171 acres of dramatic views, manicured acreage and big, deep waterfront across from Barton Creek Lakeside with its 18 hole Arnold Palmer designed course. This ranch is fully fenced and gated with 3 wells, stock tank and pond. Underground utilities and well are at the perfect building spot perched on a hilltop with panoramic Hill Country views and as well as Lake Travis views up and down river. Waterfront includes some cove frontage as well as main body waterfront. Keep the agricultural exemption by running cattle on portions of the land. Bring your horses to explore the 171 acres of rolling hills, mature oaks and Hill Country vistas. There’s also the possibility of subdividing this property into a 100 acre tract and a 71 acre tract. Either way, the Montandon Ranch is the place to build your ultimate Lake Travis Ranch.

Polo Club Stables

If you consider horse riding a sport and have explored the different styles of riding, chances are you’ve encountered your share of good and bad horse arenas. Our new listing for the Polo Club Stables on Highway 290 in Austin is a premier equestrian showplace that features two outdoor riding arenas and one indoor, lighted arena, along with four barns and 100 stalls among the 21.76 acres with picturesque oaks. But what is the benefit of having these arenas?
One Horse Riding blogger writes that “horse arenas provide a place to practice,” and explains why they’re ideal.

-Arenas provide a place for beginners to refine their skills before dealing with the distractions of the outdoors or traffic, for both rider and horse.

-They allow a rider to make some mistakes in a safe, enclosed environment

-In trail riding, you will need to jump a horse over natural obstructions – an arena allows you to practice this beforehand

-Arenas are ideal for learning certain equestrian events, such as dressage, that you may not have tried.

Further, operating horse arenas and stables can be an exciting choice for a business. The horse industry remains a booming business, especially in Texas.

This property would be a great investment for an entrepreneur, along with being a great place for children or anyone to learn and practice how to ride safely.
