Located just 13 miles north of Hondo, this impressive 51-acre ranch beautifully blends the natural charm of the Hill Country with a range of functional improvements suited for comfortable ranch living, entertaining, livestock management, and weekend recreation. The property features dense stands of mature live oaks and mesquites, offering ample shade, privacy, and excellent wildlife habitat across the gently rolling terrain. The land is characteristic of northern Medina County, featuring numerous mesquite and live oak trees scattered throughout. The entire property is fully fenced and cross-fenced, which enhances its suitability for livestock and promotes efficient pasture management. Additionally, the ranch is teeming with wildlife, including whitetail deer, turkey, dove, and other native game that can often be spotted throughout the area. This makes it an ideal location for both wildlife enthusiasts and recreational hunters. Water is provided by a well that services both the homes and ranch improvements, meeting the residential and agricultural needs. The equipment barn is supplied with 220 volts of electricity. The acreage is fully fenced and cross-fenced, which allows for efficient livestock rotation and effective pasture management. The centerpiece of the property is a custom rock three-bedroom, two-bath ranch home filled with warmth, character, and thoughtful craftsmanship. The spacious living room features a striking wood-burning fireplace with rock accents and opens directly onto a covered porch, creating an ideal setting for relaxing evenings and outdoor entertaining. Rich wood plank ceilings in both the living and dining rooms add timeless ranch-style appeal and complement the home's rustic finishes. Designed with entertaining in mind, the large game room offers generous space for gatherings and includes a beautifully crafted built-in bar. The game room also shares access to the covered porch, allowing indoor and outdoor living to flow seamlessly together. Off the master bedroom is a quiet sitting area perfect for a private office, reading nook, or morning coffee retreat overlooking the ranch. Connected to the main residence by a covered breezeway is a comfortable one-bedroom, one-bath guest house that provides excellent accommodations for family, guests, or long-term visitors while maintaining privacy from the main home. The ranch headquarters is exceptionally well equipped with a strong collection of improvements supporting both recreation and agricultural use. A large pole barn near the homes offers extensive covered parking for vehicles, trailers, tractors, and ranch equipment and includes an RV electrical hookup for traveling guests or additional accommodations. Nearby, a greenhouse provides space for gardening and year-round plant cultivation, while the livestock barn and separate equipment barn offer practical utility for ranch operations, feed storage, tack, tools, and machinery.
