The Rocky Springs Ranch
Kimble County, Texas

561 +/- Acres 

 The Rocky Springs Ranch is 561 +/- acres of the best nature has to offer in a ranch. The terrain is the definition of “hill country” with its rolling hills, deep rugged draws, springs, awesome trees, and breathtaking views. Trees on the ranch include live oak, post oak, red oak, elm, pecan, maple, shin oak to name a few. A lot of the cedar has been cleared to leave some grassy “meadow” like areas. Native brush along with the fabulous tree cover makes the ideal habitat for the wildlife. Wildlife is abundant here offering the avid hunter plenty of adventure. This area is known for some of the best white-tail and turkey hunting you will find anywhere in the country. 

Running through the ranch is a deep, rocky canyon lined with trees and native brushes. At the bottom of the canyon is a rock bottom creek draw with large boulders and smaller rocks tumbling in from the sides creating waterfalls in many places along the path of the creek. Three springs, two of them year round, keep water flowing along the creek draw and create pools just perfect for dipping your feet in on a hot afternoon. Along one area of the creek massive pecan trees provide shade in a grassy area perfect for picnicking while drinking in the sheer beauty nature has blessed this ranch with.

The Rocky Springs Ranch is low fenced and divided into two pastures….one is 100 acres and the other is 461 acres. The front pasture has a new well with solar pump along with a tank and trough for watering livestock and wildlife. The larger pasture has a 130 gpm well that services the house and a trough for additional water for wildlife or livestock. Throughout the ranch you will find excellent caleche roads making all parts of the property easily accessible. 

The 3 bedroom, 2 ½ two story home is very complimentary to the beauty and ruggedness of the ranch. The home is strategically placed on a hill overlooking the canyon that runs through the ranch. It is very well appointed with comfort and convenience for a very enjoyable stay. A fireplace in the open concept living, kitchen, and dining area provides both warmth and character to the home. The home is about 1900 sq ft and is designed to sleep 10 easily making it great for large gatherings of family and friends. A covered back porch area provides the perfect place for relaxing and enjoying 30 + mile views across the countryside. 

The Rocky Springs Ranch is a truly recreational property offering year round pleasure for your family and friends. You will experience that “at home” feeling from the moment you drive into the ranch.

JUNCTION, TEXAS. Junction, the county seat of Kimble County, is on U.S. Highway 83 ninety-eight miles southeast of San Angelo. It is named for its location at the confluence of the North and South Llano rivers. Junction was founded in the spring of 1876 following the organization of the county in January of that year. It was originally named Denman after its surveyor, but became Junction City in 1877 and simply Junction in 1894. Junction City won the role of county seat from Kimbleville, an unsuccessful settlement, in late 1876, after the first county court session, probably because Kimbleville was subject to floods. By 1879 Junction City had a drugstore, a livery stable, a sawmill, and more than one general store. The post office, begun in 1876, was moved in 1879 from a private residence to the town square. Kimble County's first newspaper, the West Texan, was published in Junction in 1882. In 1884 the county courthouse, erected in 1878, burned with all the county records. Its replacement, a two-story stone building, was partially destroyed by fire in 1888, but it was repaired and used until the present courthouse was built in 1929. Businessman Ernest Holecamp provided the city's first waterworks with a canal dug from the South Llano to Junction in 1895. In 1896 a dam was built on the South Llano to provide power and water to the city and irrigation to surrounding lands. Four Mile Dam, a more permanent and extensive dam and irrigation system, was completed in 1904. Junction had a population of 536 in 1900, 800 in 1910, and 1,250 in 1920. Between 1910 and 1920 the automobile came to town. The first filling stations opened around 1916 or 1917. By the early 1920s the livery stable had closed, and Junction had graveled its streets and installed electric street lights.

By the mid-1920s good highway connections with San Angelo and Menard were available. Junction had Baptist, Christian, Episcopal, and Methodist Episcopal churches by 1881, when the latter was organized by Methodist circuit rider Andrew Jackson Potter. A Catholic church and a Church of Christ had come to Junction by 1933. By 1930 the town had incorporated, and the United States census of that year listed its population as 1,415. Junction was the chief shipping and commercial center of Kimble County, as well as a tourist resort and hunting center. In the mid-1940s the cedar-oil business developed and enhanced the economy, but the city's growth slowed. The population was 1,464 in 1950 and 2,593 in 1980.

Junction continues to be the shipping and marketing center for Kimble County's livestock, wool, mohair, pecan, and grain production. It is also the hunting center for one of the state's leading deer-hunting counties. The town's other economic foundations include pecan processing, tourism, and a cedar-oil plant. Texas Tech University Center, a branch of Texas Tech University, is located in Junction. The center can accommodate 250 students and offers both graduate and undergraduate courses. Public school students are transported by bus from around the county to the Junction school, which has consolidated the rural schools of Kimble County. The Kimble County Library is also housed in Junction, as are a hospital and nursing home. Major celebrations in Junction include the Billie Sale and Parade in August and the Kimble Kow Kick in September. In 1990 the population was 2,654. That figure fell slightly to 2,618 in 2000.
