Experience the best of Texas ranch living along the banks of the San Marcos River. This rare 75.46-acre property offers over 900 feet of river frontage, gently rolling pastures, and all the charm of a classic working ranch just minutes from San Marcos. Whether your vision is cattle ranching, hay production, weekend recreation, or simply owning a remarkable stretch of the river, 5400 Gander Slough Road delivers a lifestyle that’s as peaceful as it is full of potential. Corrected river frontage can be found via the GIS viewer on the county's site - what is feeding into the MLS and portals is incorrect. The land is perfectly suited for grazing and hay production, with multiple Tipton 85 hay fields fertilized annually and a fertile river-bottom pasture ideal for livestock or family gatherings along the water. Shady live oaks and pecan trees dot the landscape, while stock tanks and cross-fencing make managing cattle rotation simple and efficient. The property also features gravel roadways to each area and city water—rare conveniences for rural acreage of this scale. At the front of the ranch sits a solid 2,050 sq ft home on a 3-acre homestead. With strong bones and endless potential, it could serve as a comfortable residence, a guest home, or caretaker’s quarters while you craft your dream ranch retreat. Preliminary remodeling plans are available, allowing buyers to bring their own vision to life. Mineral rights and royalties convey, enhancing the long-term investment value of this exceptional property. Easily accessible yet offering true privacy, it’s an ideal blend of countryside tranquility and modern convenience—less than 45 miles from Austin, 65 miles from San Antonio, and just 30 miles to the Hill Country. Bring your cattle, your dreams, and your love for Texas land—because opportunities like this, along the storied San Marcos River, are few and far between.
