Los Madrones

Welcome to our little paradise! Their daughter, Michaela McCown, has been helping to manage the property since 2019.

Los Madrones, a private ranch in western Travis County, in Central Texas, is protected in perpetuity though a conservation easement with the Texas Land Conservancy. The 400-acre property features limestone bluffs, Little Bee Creek, open pastures and hilltop vistas stretching beyond the Colorado River. Ranch owners Julie and Mike Murphy converted the property to wildlife conservation in 2000, and h

ave managed it since then to improve habitat for turkey, quail and other species. At least 6-7 pairs of Golden-cheeked warblers nest on the property every spring; and with luck, ranch visitors can observe and photograph this endangered species. The family partners with conservation entities including The Texas Land Conservancy, Texas Master Naturalists, Wildlife Rescue & Rehab, and TreeFolks to share the resources that make the property unique, improve habitat for wildlife, and provide opportunities to the public to learn about native species and conservation. Any events open to the public will be updated on the ranch’s page. Nearby natural attractions include Reimer’s Ranch (4.2 miles), Hamilton Pool (4.9 miles), Westcave Preserve (5.4 miles), and Pedernales Falls State Park (27 miles). Please feel free to contact us at 254-300-9620.

We had a wonderful time today hosting the field trip for the annual Texas Land Conservation Conference! We are grateful to Texas Land Conservancy, our land trust partner, for helping to protect this property and ensuring the protection of land across our beautiful state. It was inspiring seeing landowners, lawyers, land trust organizations, and other community partners gather together today and reflect on the great work that is made possible through collaboration from all of these different partners.
