Ruthanne Schulte – 131 Oak View Ct
Come visit a genuine Central Texas wildscape — two acres designed to support as much wildlife as possible. Native grasses, shrubs, and wildflowers fill the property, and the birdwatching is exceptional. Painted buntings, tufted titmice, summer tanagers, and white‑eyed vireos are regular visitors, along with many others.
A large, naturalistic water feature provides habitat for native aquatic and riparian plants as well as a reliable water source for wildlife. Nothing here is formal or neat — the landscape is intentionally “wild,” complete with brush piles and layered cover that wildlife depends on.
The property includes a mix of sun and shade zones, each featuring natives that thrive in those specific conditions. Deer pressure is real in this area, so the land is protected with a combination of electric fencing and motion‑sensor sprinklers — all of which will be turned off during the tour.
If you’ve never had the joy of seeing a painted bunting up close, you’ll want to make a trip out here. The evening hours are set to ensure a painted bunting sighting.
