The Land:

The ranch consists of 206.145± acres of hill country land with over 3,500 feet of frontage on the Guadalupe River.  This stretch of river is mostly deep and wide (12’± deep).  The owners have installed a small boat ramp that they have used to put their jet skis in the river.  The fishing and recreational opportunities are tremendous.  The river also features windy, shallow rapids that work their into a private swimming hole that that then flows into a scenic cypress lined stretch that is synonymous with the hill country.  Majority of the river front is manicured and mown.  River side weddings and events could be held here year round.

There are 90± acres of irrigated pasture that are currently being used for hay production.  The fields have been meticulously cared for and the hay produced has won the “Best Hay Award” multiple times.  There are 3 irrigation pivots which are used to take advantage of the 92± acre feet of water rights from the river.  There is also another well that is capable of producing 100 GPM that can be used to supplement the irrigation.  This well is permitted.

Above the irrigated fields is the remainder of the ranch which house a majority of the improvements.  That area has been cleared of most cedar and the vast hill top where the structures are has been covered in two feet of river bottom soil so that the EXTENSIVE landscaping and grass would grow easily.  The landscaping is all watered and the current owner has automated all of this making it much easier to maintain.  There are roughly 40 acres of area that have been left native which provide excellent hunting opportunities for axis and whitetail.

In addition to everything mentioned, there is an olive orchard, vineyard and show grape section.  *High fencing surrounds any area you would want to keep the deer out.

Road Frontage:

Hermann Sons Road is a paved, county maintained road that bisects the northern portion of the ranch.  There is roughly 27 acres on the river side of Hermann Sons and the remainder on the south side.  The gate into the river tract is directly across the street from the entry gate to the farmhouse.  Along the east boundary, is Altenheim Road which is also a paved, county maintained road.  There is an entrance into the ranch near the back pavilion and restaurant off of this road.

Water:

The property has 4 water wells that are in use and the original hand dug well is still in place, but not used.  All of the wells are set to run in alternating order.  One well is not getting all of the use and it keeps the water in the wells from becoming stagnant.  The entire property and landscaping is extremely well watered.

**all showing requests will need to be accompanied with a proof of funds.  This is non-negotiable and will be required.  There is not a finer ranch available in the greater San Antonio market and the list price wouldn’t even rebuild half of the ranch.  This is a great purchase for the wealthy individual seeking a private family compound or a corporation looking to own the PREMIER event venue in the Hill Country.
