Carson Creek Ranch, formally known as the MacArthur-Sneed Ranch, was established as a Spanish land grant in 1851 and is one of the oldest existing ranches in Texas. The ranch consists of two 20 acre pastures, separated by Carson Creek, on the banks of the Colorado River, with another smaller 15 acre pasture where we currently raise cattle and horses.
The main 20 acre pasture includes a 30×40 covered pavilion and has a beautiful grove of pecan trees along the banks of the Colorado River, where there is a natural amphitheater set into the banks overlooking the Colorado.
Still family owned and run, Carson Creek Ranch has been, through the years, host to Un-Tapped Beer and Music Festival, Levitation Fest, Euphoria Fest, Life in Color, Austin Oyster Festival, and now Austin Alfresco.
