Ranch Hill Country Con Facciata Incontaminata Su Un Torrente

Name: Samar Real Ranch

Camp Wood Creek runs crystal clear through the heart of this Hill Country property outside Camp Wood, Texas, cutting a quiet, spring fed course beneath oak covered ridges and limestone bluffs. Gated and high fenced, the 68.72+/- acre ranch in Real County offers ownership of both sides of the creek for over 1,800’, which the current owners have not seen run dry in 30 years on the land. The property pairs a classic ranch home perched above the water with towering oaks, native brush, and rugged ridge country, creating a rare combination of live water, established improvements, and excellent hunting within an easy drive of San Antonio.

The Water

Camp Wood Creek is the centerpiece of the property, running spring fed and crystal clear along both banks as the ranch commands. Numerous springs rise on the property and in the high ground above the creek, keeping the flow constant year round. Several swimming holes dot the creek, and its shallow and medium depths hold excellent fishing, rewarding both rod and reel and fly fishermen. Dependable, live water of this quality is difficult to find in the Hill Country, anchoring the ranch’s appeal for generations to come.

The Improvements

At the heart of the ranch sits a three BR/three BA stone home with the feel of a classic old Hill Country ranch house. The kitchen is built for entertaining - large island, full suite of appliances, and abundant cabinetry, opening into a living area anchored by a floor to ceiling fireplace flanked by custom built ins. Two guest BR’s and a shared bath overlook the meadow, while the primary suite offers a private ensuite bath with jetted tub, and flex room provides space for a home gym/sunroom. The home’s real draw is its back porch, set in the treetops above the creek, where mornings and evenings can be spent listening to the water below with long views of the surrounding hills. Outbuildings include a tack room, shed, holding tanks, feeder, and trough. Ample space for RV parking, well suited for group hunts or family gatherings.

The Wildlife

The ranch is high fenced, managed with whitetail deer as the primary focus, supplemented by aoudad and axis for additional hunting opportunity. Perimeter fencing has aged over the years, and it is not uncommon for new game to wander onto the property from neighboring land, adding variety to an already strong game population. Feral hogs, turkey, and predators round out wildlife on the ranch.

The Land

The topography is mostly level along the creek bottom, rising to a dramatic ridge far side of Camp Wood Creek that offers 360 degree views over the surrounding Hill Country. Limestone cliffs tower above the creek in places, framing the water below, while a low water crossing carries the ranch road through the creek itself, tying the entire property together for easy access from end to end. Mature oaks anchor the landscape throughout, including a massive, old growth oak along the ridge that is a signature feature of the ranch, joined by scattered oak groves, cedar elm, hackberry, and mesquite. Native brush, twisted acacia, white brush, and prickly pear provides cover & forage across the property.

The Location

The ranch sits in an untapped stretch of the Hill Country, offering the quiet of true country living without giving up access to nearby towns for supplies, dining, shopping, and healthcare. Leakey, Rocksprings, Uvalde, and San Antonio are all within a scenic and easy drive, and the ranch is equally well positioned for a Hill Country loop through Bandera, Boerne, Comfort, and Kerrville, where wine trails, music venues, and fine dining are all close at hand before returning home to the quiet of Camp Wood.

Other Notes

The current owners hold 50% of the mineral rights and are open to negotiating their sale along with the land. Wildlife Exemption currently in place. - PBC
