Description: Offering an exceptional combination of recreational appeal, productive ranching, and comfortable living, this turnkey South Texas ranch is ready to be enjoyed from day one.

Improvements: The two homes are thoughtfully positioned away from the road, providing privacy while maintaining convenient access. Both residences have been tastefully renovated within the past four years. The main home features two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a dedicated office, and a spacious open-concept living and dining area that flows seamlessly into the kitchen. The guest house offers two bedrooms, one bathroom, and a similar open-concept layout with a comfortable living and dining area adjoining the kitchen. The front porches of both homes are connected by a beautifully designed outdoor living space featuring a covered cooking and gathering area, ideal for entertaining family and friends. Other ranch improvements include a 2,300± square-foot drive-through insulated barn with roll-top doors, a whole-house generator with a 500-gallon propane tank, a piped horse pasture with a loafing shed, an irrigated garden, cattle pens, and several storage buildings. The north boundary of the ranch is fenced, while the remaining boundaries are low-fenced. Several cross-fenced pastures allow for rotational cattle grazing.

Water: This ranch is very well watered by three water wells that service the houses, two ponds and numerous water troughs scattered throughout the property. The livestock and wildlife do not have to travel far to find water. There is a fourth water well that is not in working condition but the owners believe it could be brought back on line with a new pump.

Wildlife: This ranch is loaded with wildlife. The distribution of water along with the plentiful cover and forage provide an ideal habitat for the game. The property offers world class dove hunting being surrounded by farms, the deer are plentiful and the quail love the more open pastures. Other wildlife that can be found on the property include Rio Grande Turkeys, Wild Hogs, Bobcats, Coyotes, other varmints and many other native South Texas species.
