Cross fenced with approximately 25 acres of open flatland as well as hillside, the ranch has opportunities for the horse lover, the hunter, the weekender, or the individual seeking a peaceful, forever home. LOCATION: Feeling completely private near the end of Patterson Creek Road, this approximately 50+/_acre ranch located in Real County, Texas, is within minutes of Leakey. The Frio River is a 5 minute drive away; Concan, Utopia, and the Sabinal River are 20 minutes away with Lost Maples State Park and Garner State Park just a bit farther. Leakey has its own runway, while Garner Field Airport in Uvalde is 45 miles away and downtown San Antonio about 90 miles down the road.
