The property boasts remarkable improvements. The main house, a stunning Spanish-style hacienda, stands as an architectural masterpiece with over 4,400 square feet of living space and a total of 9,000 square feet under its commanding red tile and metal roof. Adorned with white stucco walls, the residence exudes elegance and grandeur.

Upon entering, one is immediately captivated by the unique features and elegant touches that adorn every corner. With 4 bedrooms and 4.5 baths, the residence offers ample space for both relaxation and productivity. A study, living room, sunroom and studio, chef’s kitchen, and dining room provide perfect settings for work or leisure, complemented by two fireplaces that add warmth and coziness.

A recent addition includes a custom heated and cooled resort style pool and spa, and an incredible outdoor living/kitchen area great for entertaining. The outdoor area creates a refreshing oasis complemented by an attached cabana with a firepit. Every detail of this magnificent home has been carefully considered, from thick walls ensuring privacy to Saltillo tile floors exuding timeless charm.

For additional accommodations, a comfortable 1 bedroom (plus 3 bed sleeping loft) and 1 bath hunting lodge with a classic design and magnificent fireplace offer a cozy retreat for up to five guests. Near the cabin is a golf, bow, pistol and rifle range with targets ranging up to 1 mile distance. A separate stucco and tile roof home with 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms serves as the foreman's quarters. The estate also features two large barns. One barn is a large equipment barn/mechanic shop that's 4500 sqft and located next to the foreman's house. The second "owners" barn is 5000 sqft insulated and air conditioned and features a walk in game fridge and freezer.

The ranch's expansive land is enclosed by a high fence, boasting a gentle rolling terrain with a perfect blend of wooded areas and open pastures. Cross-fencing enhances the ranch's suitability for both hunting, horses and cattle ranching activities. Mature trees and woodlands in the northern section provide privacy for the main residence and hunting lodge, creating a sanctuary for wildlife.

Water features are abundant on the ranch, thanks to the Carrizo/Wilcox aquifer. Several (10) large ponds and water around the ranch feature an underground water piping system that keeps them full. Nine water wells, including two larger volume wells, cater to the ranch's infrastructure and supply water to ponds stocked with fish. Surface water is prevalent, with a branch of Alum Creek running through the property. Potential to enlarge and join two of the ponds to create a 20+ acre lake.

The ranch is home to a diverse array of wildlife, including a herd of 200 cattle, whitetail deer, turkey, hogs, ducks, and dove. Exotic animals, such as Axis Deer, Blackbuck Antelope, Fallow, Elk and Red Stag, thrive on the property. With an extended hunting season and MLDP Level 3 permit, the ranch ensures comprehensive hunting experiences while preserving wildlife. State-of-the-art commercial grade working pens allow for cutting and sorting animals, completing the facilities designed for a professional and comfortable experience for friends and family.
