What's special

Multiple barns

Set on 22± acres of a cherished 58+ year family ranch, this ag-exempt property offers a rare opportunity to own a truly special piece of the Texas Hill Country. Towering, majestic oaks anchor the landscape, while a spring-fed creek—currently low due to drought—winds through the property, adding to its natural charm and character. Well-equipped for ranching or recreation, the property features multiple barns, corrals, and a guest house currently utilized for a hunting lease, offering immediate functionality and income potential. Whether you envision enhancing the existing improvements or starting fresh with a custom dream home, the possibilities here are wide open. Ideally located with a San Marcos address yet just minutes from Wimberley, New Braunfels, and Canyon Lake, this property combines convenience with peaceful seclusion. Picturesque, private, and rich in history, this is a truly unmatched setting ready for its next chapter.
