8357 FM 1050 , Utopia, TX 78884(Bandera County)

Located between Utopia and Garner State Park, one of the most desirable and unspoiled areas of the Texas Hill Country, this new listing is one of the most scenic and diverse ranches available in the area. The ranch fronts on FM 1050 with 3 miles of highway frontage, just minutes from Utopia, the beautiful Frio River and Garner State Park. This Ranch has been in the same family since the 1930's and up until now has still been used as a true working ranch. The ranch offers a beautiful custom built 4 Bedroom home neatly hidden from the highway, large acreage neighbors, two water wells, multiple ponds, a spring box that provides water to the home, good set of pipe working pens, multiple pastures and newer fencing along highway and between neighbors. The Ranch is nothing short of spectacular and is one of the most diverse and unique ranches anywhere. The varying terrain is amazing and is truly one of the most scenic ranches available in this area of the hill country: perfect for a cattle, horse, whitetail or exotic game operation. The Ranch offers the near perfect mix of flat to sloping bottom land, spring fed canyons, deep fertile bottoms with adequate soils for cultivation, hay or food plots, steep majestic hardwood lined hills, limestone bluffs and outcroppings and large open valleys covered in huge Live Oaks. The canyons and hill sides are home to Spanish Oak, Blue Oak, Cedar Elms, Wild Cherry, Madrone, Sumac, Persimmon and Sycamore. Each valley has the potential for pond and lake development, there appears to be multiple areas on the ranch with ample subsurface water to supply ponds.

One of the highlights of the ranch is the exceptional interior road system the owners have created over many years that provide easy access to virtually every part of the ranch. The road system is in excellent condition. Most of the ranch is easily accessible by 2 WD vehicle and a single tour of the 16+ miles of road system is like a safari, offering a buyer breathtaking views of the Ranch, the Frio Canyon, Bear Creek and Sabinal River Valleys. Words and pictures do not come close. Few ranches offer an interior road system that compares to this ranch. Additionally, the multi generational owners have selectively cleared large amounts of Cedar from the property, providing excellent habitat for not only Livestock but also for the large numbers of Whitetail, Turkey, Hogs and occasional free ranging Exotics including Fallow and trophy Aoudad. The extensive Cedar clearing on the property has made it one of the cleanest ranches available. .

The Ranch offers a custom 4 Bedroom home built about a mile from the highway and neatly tucked away in a beautiful valley surrounded by hardwood lined hills. The beautiful limestone home features 4 bedrooms, 4.5 baths, 10 ft ceilings and 8ft doors throughout the house. The house features an open floor plan with a living room/ dining room/ kitchen combination. The great room includes towering 26 ft ceiling, hardwood floors, gas fireplace with windows and doors looking out onto aq deep wrap around porch. Also included, a large utility room with sink, refrigerator and freezer, washer and dryer. Walk in pantry, TV/ family room, small office/computer room, office area off kitchen, 3 AC units, outdoor kitchen, 24x24 ft Carport and 24 x 150 ft driveway with multiple parking areas.

The low fenced Ranch is a rare opportunity for a buyer to purchase an exceptional Hill Country ranch that has all the features that make this area so special.
