Concan Valley Ranch

250 acres – Uvalde Co.

SOLD

Concan Valley Ranch is located just five miles north of Concan and 4 miles south of Garner State Park in northern Uvalde County. Access to the ranch from HWY 83 is quick and easy through the gated and paved Valley Vista Subdivision. The drive from Austin is about 2.5 hours with San Antonio being just under an hour and a half.

Although just a half mile west of HWY 83, the geographical location and positioning of the property tucked behind an expansive ridgeline create that middle of nowhere feel so many long for in todays fast paced modern world.

Peaceful and quiet this hill country getaway offers countless recreational opportunities including hunting, camping and hiking. In addition to the on-site opportunities, the Frio River, Concan and Garner State Park, are each 10 minute drive away and offer a myriad of river recreational opportunities.

Elevations on the ranch range from approximately 1420 in the creek bottom to 1890 on the top of the highest hill. Over 2 miles of interior ranch roads allow for good access throughout the property.

With pockets of water during wet times, this creek is another attractive aspect of the property. The entrance to the ranch is within this creek bottom area and adds instant charm as you enter the front gates. On the east end of the property, situated on the grassy banks of Sycamore Creek is where you will find the camp area. With municipal water and underground electricity in place, the camps lodging consists of 2 travel trailers each secured under a pole barn with metal roof protecting them from the elements. There is a rock paver walkway between the trailers, firepit and parking area and a game cleaning station with water and electricity. Although this camp area is simple and modest, it’s the perfect setting for stargazing and campfire storytelling. Surrounding the camp area and throughout the ranch’s central valley floor there are beautiful hardwood trees including Black Walnut, Buckeye, Sycamore, Live Oak and Post Oak. This grassy, private valley quickly transitions into steep hillsides then into more open wide hilltop mesas offering forever views over the Frio River watershed.

Hunting opportunities on the property are exceptional and about as wide-ranging as you can find on any low-fenced property in Texas with an abundance of native species and a variety of free-ranging exotics.

A 50-acre, heavily wooded point juts into the lake, offering incredible homesites with unsurpassed privacy, enviable elevation and one-of-a-kind views. For more than 35 years, Lago Vista has operated as a family-run cow-calf operation and a recreational hunting ranch. In addition, the owners have built the foundation for valuable future development. In the late 1980s, they platted more than 60 lakeview and lakefront lots, ranging in size from half to one and a half acres each. While the owners did not market “Lakeshore”, the plans for the platted and restricted subdivision are grandfathered in, offering an undeveloped asset. Lago Vista has the necessary infrastructure as a working and recreational hunting ranch and maintains its agriculture tax valuation. (The 120-head herd of cattle and ranch equipment are available through a separate bill of sale.)

In addition, there is a small block house currently occupied by the manager.

When it comes to water, Lago Vista boasts four domestic wells and one irrigation well supporting a 30-acre center pivot. Currently, the pivot system irrigates a

35-acre coastal Bermuda patch that provides hay for the ranch or potentially for sale. There are two stock ponds that not only deliver water for

wildlife and livestock but offer exceptional dove hunting during the fall season.

Whether you’re seeking a private all-around ranch, an un-tapped opportunity, or both, Lago Vista Ranch will prove to be a valuable addition to your asset portfolio.

French Ranch 

549 ACRES – GONZALES CO.   

SOLD 

A true “diamond in the rough” the French Ranch is located north of IH-10 and south of HWY 90 in northern Gonzales County.  Booming Austin and San Antonio are only a 75 minute drive away with Houston being just over 2 hours.  The quiet town of Waelder is 4.5 miles to the east.  This generational family owned ranch has approximately 3500 ft. of frontage along lightly traveled County Road 423.

The ranch is 90% wooded and 10% open country with an impressive array of towering hardwoods including Live Oak, Post Oak and Cedar Elm. Near the center of the property there is a 30 acre Bermuda grass field dotted with huge Live Oak trees. The sandy loam soil in this area has produced an incredibly dense stand of grass that is of high quality and ag-value. The ranch is currently utilized as a cow-calf operation and can support 50 animal units in normal rainfall years.

There are 3 surface ponds, one of which has held water continuously for 70 years.  Seasonal Elm Creek enters the ranch near the northeast corner and meanders south the entire length of the ranch for about a mile. Though seasonal, the creek can hold shallow pools of water parts of the year.  Even with ownership of both sides of Elm Creek, the amount of floodplain is here minimal. The stream bed is a rust-colored gravel highlighted with exposed yellow bedrock. A towering canopy of trees and grassy meadows create not only a stunningly beautiful setting but also prime wildlife habitat.

There has been no hunting on the ranch for at least 50 years. This lack of hunting pressure, along with the availability of natural feed sources, an abundance of surface water and heavily wooded areas have created a sanctuary for the native wildlife.  The ranch is completely low-fenced with large neighbors on 3 sides.

With booming Austin and San Antonio nearby, the French Ranch is a blank slate for its next owner to enhance and improve upon its natural beauty. Mature hardwood forest, abundant wildlife, Elm Creek, raw unspoiled habitat and a highly desirable location make the French Ranch a rare opportunity in today’s world.

This Property is co-listed with David O. Faust – 512.940.3300.  Surface offering only. Known easements include a water transmission line and an overhead transmission line both located on the southern portion of the property. The property will be conveyed with an agricultural tax exemption.

Buyers brokers must be identified on first contact, and must accompany buying prospect on first showing to be allowed full fee participation. If this condition is not met, fee participation will be at sole discretion of Listing Broker, Bluestem Ranch Group.

Sandy Fork Ranch 

277 ACRES – GONZALES CO.   

SOLD

The Sandy Fork Ranch is located on HWY 97, just 3 miles south of IH-10 in Gonzales County.  Booming Austin and San Antonio are a 75 minute drive away with Houston being just over 2 hours.  The town of Gonzales is 13 miles to the southeast.  The property has approximately 265 ft. of frontage along HWY 97.

This generational, family-owned ranch is 80% wooded and 20% open. Approximately 15 acres of the property is in improved variety Pecan Orchard. Though not currently in production, the trees are healthy and mature and allow for the possibility of future income from nut harvest.  In addition to the Pecan, there is an impressive array of Oaks and Elms throughout the ranch. The sandy loam soil in this area has produced an incredibly dense stand of grass that is of high quality and ag-value. The ranch is currently utilized as a cow-calf operation and can support 27 animal units in normal rainfall years.  On the north end of the property there is a 40 acre Bermuda grass field ideal for grazing cattle.

The property has a Gonzales County Water Supply Corp meter in place that supplies water to a trough near a set of modest cattle pens. In addition to the rural water service, there are a total of 3 water wells on the property. Two of these wells have been drilled and cased but have are not completed. The third is a unique artesian water well that flows into a stock tank.  This artesian well has flowed continuously for 30 years and speaks to the groundwater potential of the area.  Sandy Fork Creek borders the property to the south and west for approximately 1.2 miles. Though seasonal, you’ll find that this stretch of Sandy Fork Creek holds pools of water most of the time. The creek bottom area is a natural game corridor and is lined with a variety of large trees. These towering trees and grassy meadows create prime wildlife habitat and a stunningly beautiful setting.

There has been no hunting on the ranch for at least 30 years. This lack of hunting pressure, along with the availability of natural feed sources, and heavily wooded areas for cover have created a sanctuary for the native wildlife.

Mature, hardwood trees, abundant wildlife, creek frontage, raw unspoiled habitat and a highly desirable location near major metro areas make the Sandy Fork Ranch a rare opportunity in today’s real estate market.

 $1,795,000 or $6,480/acre.  This Property is co-listed with David O. Faust – 512.940.3300.  Surface offering only, there is no production or active leases. The majority of the ranch is located within FEMAs Zone A please see flood map. The property currently holds an agricultural tax exemption.
