Saddletree Ranch by Randy Lawrence Homes

For many years, Saddletree Ranch was a working cattle ranch. Currently, Saddletree Ranch covers over 500 acres, 328 lots, with about 1/3 in Travis County and 2/3 in Hays County. The Edwards ranch (140 acres) borders Saddletree Ranch to the south, and Sundance Estates and Vista Oaks sub-divisions to the west. In the early 80s a development group purchased the land and sections 1 and 2 were developed. Approximately 25 homes were constructed. The original development called for a centralized well, located off of Ranch Road 12. However, the plan was to treat the water at each home, which the State of Texas did not approve. That is why you see fire hydrants in the both sections 1 & 2. Section 1A was created from the acquisition of a small neighboring ranch. During the mid-late 80s, with the oil induced economic slump, Saddletree Ranch ended up in the Resolution Trust Company (RTC).
