Historical Significance
How it all started
Our story begins nearly a century ago with the adventurous J.P. Morgan Jr., a man whose quest for breathtaking ranches led him to this picturesque haven. Spanning 2,500 acres, Loretta’s Ranch captured his imagination and heart.
In 1930, the ranch welcomed Morgan Richards, J.P.’s nephew, a non-conformist who built a charming homestead at 370 Brady Pass. Richards, a free spirit with a love for whiskey and Ham radio broadcasting made his mark on the ranch and the airwaves, reaching listeners far and wide from 1014 Westland Ridge.
Richards’ vibrant lifestyle took him from late-night escapades in Austin to early breakfasts with Brady Lowe, forging a friendship that led to Brady acquiring the ranch.
Though Richards lived there until the 1980s, his legacy endures. Foundations of old windmills, creek rope swings, and the 80-foot pole for his radio antenna whisper stories of the past. Some say his broadcasts still echo through the night, inviting listeners to respond.
Today, Loretta’s Ranch is a serene haven, blending history with tranquillity. It’s a place where you can reflect and find peace amidst modern life’s hustle. A sanctuary, a retreat, a testament to a passionate and independent life—welcome to Loretta’s Ranch.
