Land
This diverse rolling 200 acres is about 85% covered in trees with some open pasture and roadways being the balance. The fertile river bottom portion of the property filled with massive native Pecan trees, Bald Cypress, Sycamores, American Elms, and Black Willow along with a copious layer of woody shrubs and grasses. The 1000+ft of river frontage is unique in that it sits on a bend in the river which provides water level access to the Guadalupe River as opposed to the steep cliffs usually found on either side. There is also a large sand bar just in front of the landing providing a “sometimes island” to utilize for recreation. This bend in the Guadalupe River also forms a rather large fishing hole for catfish and other fish. This riverfront and drainage area provides a wonderful sanctuary for the wildlife found in South/Central Texas including Whitetail Deer, Bobcats, Feral Hogs, Eastern Turkey, Coyotes, Squirrels, raccoons and many other varmints. The upper pasture is mostly Mesquite, Hackberry, Huisache, and Live Oaks with coastal Bermuda mixed intermittently. Furthermore, it is bordered to the East by McCoy Creek, another well traveled route for wildlife. This portion is home for Whitetail Deer as well as Rio Grande Turkey and occasionally feral hogs. This is a top-notch hunting property with year-round hunting opportunities

The owner’s family and friends have hunted deer on the property and report good numbers and quality bucks for the area. Trees observed on the property include Live Oak, Post Oak, Pecan, American Elm, Cedar Elm, Hackberry, Sycamore, Osage Orange, Black Willow, Ash, Sweet Gum, Mesquite, and Huisache. The forb and grass layer is composed of Granjeno, Lime Prickly Ash, Winged Elm, Ragweed, Frostweed, Inland Sea Oats, Wooly Croton, Green Briar, Mustang Grape, Switchgrass, Hooded Windmill Grass, Bristlegrass, Coastal Bermuda, and KR Bluestem.

A portion of the property does lie within the 100-year floodplain.

The new owner will be “ranch ready” with several items in good condition that convey with this gorgeous property. Inside a fenced in yard, you will find a 36’x52’ pavilion with concrete slab in place complete with electricity, RV hookups, water, septic, and firepit.

This pavilion provides protection for the 2015 Grand Design Solitude RV which will convey. In addition, a two-seat 2012 John Deere Gator 825i and a 2016 John Deere 5075E tractor with 250 hours including a front end bucket, shredder and grapple attachment will also stay.
