About This Home

Discover the perfect blend of recreation, hunting, and homesite potential on this beautiful 48.25 acre ranch in Gonzales County. Featuring approximately 775 feet of owned frontage along County Road 171, this property offers direct access through a brand-new entrance gate with no ingress or access easements. Extensive improvements have already been completed, including bulldozing, mulching, grubbing, and shredding to showcase the property's magnificent mature oak trees while preserving its natural beauty. A scenic seasonal creek winds through towering hardwoods, creating exceptional wildlife habitat and adding to the ranch's character. The center of the property features a beautifully manicured pasture surrounded by mature oaks, providing an ideal homesite with the perfect balance of open space and wooded privacy. The pasture is also well-suited for cattle, horses, or grazing, offering the flexibility to continue enjoying the current Wildlife Tax Exemption or transition back to a traditional Agricultural Exemption, subject to county requirements. Hunters and outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate the abundant wildlife, including whitetail deer, Rio Grande turkey, dove, and feral hogs. Electricity is available on the property, making future improvements even more convenient. Conveniently located just 5 minutes from downtown Nixon and approximately 40 minutes from San Antonio, this turnkey ranch offers the perfect combination of privacy, accessibility, and versatility. Whether you're looking to build your dream home, establish a weekend retreat, create a working ranch, or own an exceptional hunting property, this ranch is ready for its next owner to enjoy the very best of Texas country living.
