About the Area
6990 County Road 246 None is located in Richland Springs, Texas, in San Saba County. San Saba County is the Pecan Capital of the World, a designation backed by generations of native pecan cultivation along the San Saba River bottoms, where some of the finest native pecan trees in Texas have been harvested commercially for over a century. The county maintains an authentic agricultural character largely unchanged by the Hill Country tourism wave.
The San Saba River flows through the heart of the county, its limestone-bottomed course lined with massive native pecan trees and live oaks. The terrain transitions from the granite Central Mineral Region in the east to limestone hills and cedar brakes in the west. Colorado Bend State Park on the Colorado River offers spectacular waterfall and cave hiking.
Richland Springs had an estimated population of 189 as of 2023. The 76871 zip code has a median household income of $85,144, a median home value of $165,600, and a median age of 50.2. The average household size is 3.2 people.
Native pecan farming, cattle ranching, hunting leases, and agritourism centered on the pecan harvest define San Saba County's economy. Colorado Bend State Park draws hikers and paddlers. The county attracts buyers seeking river bottom pecan land and large ranch tracts at prices below the more developed Hill Country counties.
