The ranch is thoughtfully equipped with everything needed for comfortable country living, including perimeter fencing, electricity, city water, a private water well (currently producing approximately one gallon per minute and not connected), a septic system, and two additional outbuildings ideal for equipment storage, workshops, livestock, or agricultural use. The land itself is a beautiful blend of open pasture and native South Texas brush. Mature mountain laurel, persimmon, huisache, cenizo, and other native vegetation provide outstanding habitat for abundant wildlife. Whitetail deer, axis deer, javelina, Rio Grande turkey, quail, dove, foxes, bobcats, and other native species are frequent visitors, making this an exceptional property for wildlife enthusiasts and hunters alike. The agricultural exemption helps keep annual property taxes low while preserving the ranch's natural character and productivity. Surrounded by rolling countryside, wide-open skies, and unforgettable star-filled nights, this property offers the peace and privacy of rural living without sacrificing convenience. Uvalde and Hondo are just a short drive away, with San Antonio approximately an hour from the property, providing easy access to shopping, dining, healthcare, and entertainment.
