About This Lot

Turnkey, improved ranch property offering the perfect blend of functionality, natural beauty, and future potential. Whether you’re looking to build your dream home, establish a horse property, run cattle, or enjoy a private Texas retreat, this property is ready to go. The land has been cleared of cedar and yaupon, leaving a beautiful canopy of mature oaks and pines in a park-like setting. Approximately 16.5 acres were sprigged with Bermuda grass in Spring 2026, and the sandy loam soil provides excellent conditions for horses, livestock, and pasture production. A 1⁄2+ acre stock tank is ready to be stocked, while new fencing installed in August 2025 surrounds the property. Infrastructure improvements include culverts for both the pond overflow and the driveway low-water crossing, providing dependable access. Utilities are already in place for future development with municipal water available at the road and electric service running along the entire northern property line, making a future homesite even more convenient. The property is Ag Exempt with an active cattle lease through 2026, including an option to renew, making it easy to continue the agricultural exemption and associated tax benefits. A 2017 23 HP Kubota tractor with front-end loader, bucket, box blade, and brush hog is also available for purchase separately, giving the next owner everything needed to maintain and enjoy the property from day one. If you’ve been searching for a move-in ready ranch with quality improvements, beautiful trees, productive pasture, excellent utility access, and valuable agricultural tax benefits, 170 Split Oak Road is a must-see.
