Discover the beauty, privacy, and versatility of this remarkable 52-acre ranch nestled in the heart of the Texas Hill Country just outside San Marcos. Offering a rare combination of residential comfort, recreational opportunities, and agricultural potential, this property is ideal for those seeking a peaceful country lifestyle without sacrificing proximity to town.
The ranch features a main residence and separate guest house, providing ample space for family, visitors, or multigenerational living. Several outbuildings offer additional functionality, while a fully fenced garden area with raised beds and an established irrigation system creates the perfect setting for growing fresh produce and embracing a self-sufficient lifestyle.
Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate the property's private shooting range, permitted hunting opportunities, and abundant natural surroundings. Two wet-weather creeks, Sink Creek and Little Sink Creek, meander through the ranch, adding character and natural beauty to the landscape. Currently benefiting from a wildlife management agricultural exemption, the property also allows farming and agricultural activities.
This picturesque property is subject to an existing conservation easement, helping preserve its natural character, while an additional 1.85-acre pocket of unrestricted land presents unique possibilities for future use. Located outside San Marcos city limits and de-annexed from the city's extraterritorial jurisdiction (ETJ), the ranch offers a distinctive opportunity to enjoy country living with added independence.
Whether you envision a private family compound, recreational hunting retreat, working homestead, or a legacy property to enjoy for generations, this stunning residence offers an exceptional opportunity to own a substantial piece of Central Texas countryside.
