Legacy Cattle Ranch
Description
Properties of this caliber rarely become available! After more than 70 years in the same family, this exceptional 166-acre working ranch is being offered to the public for the first time, presenting a rare chance to own a legacy property that has been carefully maintained, thoughtfully improved, and built to stand the test of time.
Designed for both operational efficiency and recreational enjoyment, the ranch features three working water wells-one solar-powered and two electric-with the home plumbed for immediate conversion to the secondary well if needed. Water infrastructure throughout the ranch is second to none, with approximately 16 plumbed water troughs, each equipped with individual shut-off valves for simplified maintenance and management.
The property is cross-fenced into 12 productive pastures ranging from approximately 9 to 25 acres, making it ideal for rotational grazing and livestock operations. A complete set of heavy-duty cattle working pens constructed with guard rail fencing provides exceptional durability and safety, while electricity throughout the working area ensures ease of operation. Historic wood rail fencing and traditional cattle traps add authentic ranch character and timeless Texas charm. This ranch is just as well-suited for horses as it is for cattle. The property features a two-stall horse barn and a dedicated riding arena, providing the perfect setup for equine training, recreational riding or simply enjoying the ranch lifestyle.
The strategically placed home sits conveniently near the entrance, yet tucked slightly out of view and was constructed with efficiency and longevity in mind. Completely remodeled in 2013, this spacious residence offers four bedrooms, three full baths, plus an additional room perfect for an office, guest room, or flex space. Concrete flooring throughout provides durability and easy maintenance, while attic walkways and a 20'x10' basement offer convenient access and storage rarely found in modern homes. The basement is equipped with its own mini split system, so this room can function as a sixth living space. The house is also wired for a backup generator, providing peace of mind during any unforeseen outage.
The recreational amenities are equally impressive. Two stock tanks are filled with bluegill perch, and largemouth bass, creating outstanding fishing opportunities right outside your door. One tank serves as a family recreation area complete with a covered gazebo, floating dock, swing and zipline, making it the perfect gathering place for weekends and holidays. Three additional ponds naturally hold water well, further enhancing the property's beauty, wildlife habitat, and utility.
Towering live oaks and mature pecan trees are scattered throughout the ranch, creating breathtaking scenery and abundant shade. Select native brush has been strategically preserved to support wildlife, making the property equally attractive to hunting enthusiasts. Dominating the front yard is a truly remarkable oak tree, believed by locals to have once been the largest oak tree in the county-a landmark feature that speaks to the rich history and heritage of the land.
Whether you're an investor seeking a tangible legacy asset, a cattle producer looking for a turnkey operation, or a family searching for a ranch to enjoy for generations, this Floresville property offers an opportunity that may never come around again. Ranches with this combination of history, infrastructure, recreation, natural beauty, and operational capability seldom reach the open market. This is more than a ranch-it's a legacy waiting for its next steward! Call/Text Beth at 210-365-6305 for more info!
