Thirty miles due west of the Alamo and less than 2 miles northwest of Castroville lies this 7.9 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 country yet 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 is 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. 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.
