Moon Valley Ranch lies approximately 2 miles east of Leakey Texas, at the end of a county-maintained road for privacy and easy access. The 90.6 acres is situated in a box canyon with towering rim rock walls studded with typical hill country vegetation and home to a large variety of wildlife, including exotics making their way over the hilltops in search of water and browse. The box canyon opens to the west and north with good breezes and spectacular sunsets all to be enjoyed from the low slung, adobe brick home that has been strategically placed on the hillside. Southwest in design, the 4 bedroom, 5 bath home takes in long views from all the windows in the open concept kitchen, dining and living area. Arched entry ways and Saltillo floors, throughout the home are in keeping with the design. Forget the TV, you will want to back up to the cozy fireplace and gaze upon the valley land below you where you will find a shop with water and electricity and an orchard with peach, plum, pomegranate, loquat and pecan trees. In the spring and summer, you can take a dip in your pool and look out over the Frio valley in the distance. New, low maintenance, landscaping has been created around the pool and home. There are several roads throughout the ranch which will bring you to a private, hidden valley perfect for hunting. City water and fiber optic are in place and you will have access to three acres on the Frio about a half mile away. Acreage this size, close into town, with city water, is very hard to come by. There is not an HOA, and having no restrictions, the possibilities are endless! This unique ranch is being offered for $1,500,000.
