Approximately 560 acres located on the south side of river and 704 acres to the north. Spring Branch Creek traverses through the south portion and feeds into THE POINT- a great pecan tree covered landing overlooking one of the two deep, wide holes of water on the ranch. Across this spot on the north bank is the eagle's nest- home to a pair of migratory bald eagles that are a feat to watch. Further upriver is the locally famous BLUE HOLE- spring fed with lovely falls over bedrock opening up to deep, aqua blue water. The river is very accessible here on low bank amongst huge pecan and elm trees. Setup camp, put your chair and feet in the water, cast a line or float yourself down nearly 2 miles of private waterfront. Swimming and splashing are encouraged as well. There is a natural, low water crossing along main road through ranch you can drive an SUV or truck over connecting the two sides. The downstream section varies from shallow rapids to deep shoals with a sound of flowing water.

HISTORY: Situated in the Tri-County area of Mason, Menard and McCulloch counties, Eagle Point was once part of the historic Blockhouse Ranch, consisting of 27,000 acres and encompassing 15 miles on both sides of the San Saba River. The river here contains a known spring fed, deep hole of water called Blue Hole. During the severe drought of the 1950's, the reliable Blue Hole was one of the very few bodies of water to not run dry, thus saving livestock for many ranchers in area. The majority of the ranch, while split up over time is still owned by the descendants of Anna Martin (1844-1925). She was the first female bank president in Texas, only the second in the nation and future inductee to the National Cowgirl Hall of Fame in Fort Worth.
