As you gaze on the beauty that makes up the Abshire Ranch, you are transcended to an era where cowboys roamed free in the Bandera area.

Upon entering the ranch, you are met with asphalt paved drives, a large pond and easy to travel roads throughout the ranch. The high point of the ranch reveals a 3,260sf main home which is rich with upgrades and appointments, large eat-in kitchen, granite counters, large living room, breakfast nook, formal dining, office/study and luxurious bedrooms. The 3-car garage is fully finished and conditioned as well. When you walk around the main home, you will find a new in-ground contemporary swimming pool and beautiful covered rear porch. The home is also equipped with a 45kvw back-up Generator that is Propane fueled for those unexpected power outages.
The second home is also over 3,000sf and has been meticulously updated to provide for family guests or simply as a secondary home or VRBO/B&B. The circle drive between the two homes offers serenity and privacy while enjoying easy paved access between the improvements. The insulated/conditioned shop area on concrete slab opens the opportunity for vast projects and storage while being neatly tucked away. Other improvements include a secondary storage building, garden/chicken area and as you move up the hill one finds a horse barn fit for easy equine management and enjoyment.
The lower valley areas have been selectively cleared of invasive brush with plenty of creature habitat left in the upper valley areas to allow for hunting activities. The diversity of this ranch is absolutely amazing and brings together the art of land management while providing for lower taxes with Wildlife Management Practices in-place. The main feature of the lower valley area is a large pond which is a visual from the second home and its back-porch/patio area. Selectively placed around the property you will find two small cabins that provide for respite or overnight stays with nature abounding around each.
The entire property is fenced and new pipe fencing has been installed along the FM road frontage further exemplifying the high quality characteristics of this beautiful estate. If you are seeking a property that offers the benefit of dual dwellings for the large combined family or simply seeking a property that offers the peaceful nature of the surrounding Hill Country, the Abshire Ranch should not be missed. Additional land is available along with a giant shop on slab and additional open level pasture areas and ponds. Schedule your showing or give us a call to discuss this unique opportunity.
