Property Details

OVERVIEW

Tucked away on a private hilltop, this elegant 4-bedroom, 4-bath, 4,900 sq ft residence offers rare privacy, timeless architecture, and sweeping views of the South Texas countryside. From the moment you arrive, the approach sets the tone: enter through a gated entrance off a paved FM road and travel nearly a half-mile along a private, paved drive. The road winds beneath mature oaks and thick brush, revealing a serene private lake where ducks glide and deer often appear along the shore. Continue across the dam, through the native landscape, and arrive at the striking hilltop home. Less than an hour south of downtown San Antonio via I-37, this property offers peaceful country living with convenient city access. Surrounded by hay farms, cattle operations, and hunting ranches, the area is quiet and private. It's only 20 minutes to Pleasanton or Floresville for shopping and dining, and it's located within the Pleasanton ISD-ideal for families seeking rural lifestyle with city proximity. A concrete circle drive welcomes you to the stately stone residence, originally built in 1980 and thoughtfully remodeled in 2010. The home has been well maintained, with a new composite roof and dual A/C systems installed just two years ago. Inside, an A-frame glass front framed by Palladian windows opens into a tiled foyer with soaring cathedral ceilings and recessed lighting. The open-concept layout flows from the formal dining area into a grand living space, featuring a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace, exposed beam ceilings, and a walk-behind bar with granite counters and glass-front cabinetry. A wall of windows along the east side provides panoramic views and leads to a stone porch shaded by a large live oak. The kitchen blends warmth and function with rich wood cabinetry, granite counters, a center island, dual dishwashers, double oven, walk-in pantry, and a built-in desk nook. A terracotta tile backsplash and under-cabinet lighting complete the inviting space. The oversized primary suite is a peaceful retreat, complete with a sitting area, its own wood-burning fireplace, porch access, and dual walk-in closets. The spacious en suite bath is private and ready for your personal touch. Two guest bedrooms share a full bath off the foyer. A fourth bedroom suite offers flexible accommodations with a full bath and private access to the garage or outdoor parking via the sunroom. An air-conditioned craft room or home office accessed from the garage adds further versatility. While the home maintains a hint of its retro roots, it offers exciting potential for tasteful updates without losing character. Scattered across the manicured yard are more than 20 mature oak and mesquite trees, creating a peaceful setting around the home. Beyond the improvement area, 175 acres of prime South Texas ranchland offer outstanding recreational value. Native game including whitetail, hogs, dove, and quail are abundant-the property has not been hunted in recent years. The ranch was previously used for hay production and cattle grazing, but now serves as excellent wildlife habitat with moderate to heavy brush and native cover. A branch of Borrego Creek bisects the ranch, enhancing the habitat and providing water impoundment opportunities. There are currently two bodies of surface water-a 1-acre tank and a 3-4 acre lake. Live oaks dot the southern portion of the ranch, adding to the diversity of the landscape. The property is cross-fenced into four pastures, with the two northern pastures consisting of native grasses, re-growth mesquite, and huisache. These could be restored into +/-27 acres of improved grazing if desired. This 175-acre South Texas ranch is a rare blend of privacy, elegance, and natural beauty. A hilltop home overlooks a private lake and native brush country, accessed by a scenic paved drive. With prime hunting, light grazing potential, and a timeless home ready to enjoy or modernize, this is refined country living at its best.
