About This Home
**$105,000 PRICE IMPROVEMENT on 5/29/25**
Thirty miles due west of the Alamo and less than 2 miles northwest of Castroville lies this 49 acre Medina County gem. The property is private, secluded, and easily accessible with paved frontage on the lightly traveled County Road 466. Offered for the first time in a century, this property has been tightly held by generations of owners.
Feel the stress leave your body and embrace a calming sensation as you depart from the blacktop and meander through grassy meadows and century-old oaks along a limestone ranch road, bordered by dense South Texas brush. The tranquility and solitude of the property evoke a sense of being in the it hard to believe you are only two miles from the everyday conveniences of town.
The residence on the property is an 1,831 square foot, three-bedroom, two-bath metal-sided home built in 2006. This open-concept home features stained concrete floors, a large wood-burning fireplace with a rock hearth, and covered front and back porches, as well as a covered carport. Behind the home is a 40 x 60 enclosed barn/shop with a 60 x 30 lean-to. Water for the home and shop is supplied by a domestic Edwards water well with a submersible pump.
The entire eastern boundary of the tract consists of approximately 3,250 feet of frontage along the Bexar Medina Atascosa (BMA) Canal. This area is densely wooded, providing an ideal natural buffer between the subject property and neighboring tracts.
The immediate area is made of larger, low-fenced acreage tracts where native wildlife including whitetail deer, hogs, dove and varmits are common. Centrally located within the tract and frequently visited by the native wildlife is a nice dirt tank, approximately one-third of an acre in size when full.
The highlight of the ranch is a 15-acre hilltop covered with Live Oaks, which would make an incredible location for a new home. From this vantage point, you can enjoy expansive views in every direction. This hilltop is truly unique and may very well be one of the best available homesites currently on the market in Medina County.
The feeling of seclusion is rarely experienced so close to town. The natural setting, combined with magnificent hilltop homesites and close proximity to urban amenities, makes this property a rare find.
Listing Price: $1,595,000. The property currently holds a Wildlife Management agricultural tax exemption. Seller to provide existing survey and standard title policy. The only known easement is a South Texas Electric Co-op Overhead Electrical Easement located on the property. This easement is located at the entrance to the track and runs along county road frontage.
