Falling Waters Ranch
Uvalde County
Size: 2,800 or 5,000 acres subject to survey
Location: This unique hill country water ranch is located 25 miles north of Uvalde. The ranch lies seven miles west of the rural community of Montell and is accessed by five miles of paved county road and approximately two miles of caliche based county road.
Water: 
The headwaters of Montell Creek originated on the ranch. The creek is fed by a series of springs that flow over limestone cliffs and water falls. Two crystal clear lakes are stocked with bass, perch, and catfish. Montell Creek is one of the stronger flowing creeks in the Texas Hill Country. Even in dry times there is a steady flow of pure spring water.
Several springs are scattered along the western part of the ranch that furnish water for livestock and wildlife.
Improvements: 
A gorgeous three story home lies adjacent to the main tributary of Montell Creek. A large wooden deck overlooks a beautiful water fall. The main living area is enclosed by glass and offers a magnificent view of the canyon, creek, and tree covered hills. 
Across the road from the main home is a guest house constructed of native stone.
Two foreman’s homes, barn, corrals and livestock working area are located near the center of the ranch.
The original Bill Wells home has been remodeled and is in excellent condition. The exterior of this historic house has not been disturbed. The interior has been updated with cedar and stone from the ranch.
All improvements appear to be in good condition.
Comments: 
Falling Waters Ranch is nestled in the canyons along the southern edge of the Balcones Escarpment, a giant geologic upheaval, which formed the rocky mountains of Texas. Falling Waters, an old historic ranch, was settled by Bill Wells in the 1800s. Bill Wells was a legendary bear hunter and a crack shot. Many articles have been written about his hunting escapades. On occasions, Bill would enter into a cave with a torch, pistol killing bears at close range.
Numerous old Indian camp grounds are scattered along the banks of Montell Creek. The present owner has a variety of arrowheads that were dug from the Indian Mounds on the ranch.
Caves: 
Two large caves are located on the western part of the ranch. 
Palace Cave is 1800 ft. long. Stalactites and stalagmites decorate the interior of the cavern. Palace Cave is the largest cavern in the Nueces Canyon basin.
