The ranch has old improvements that have no value, though a water well may be reworkable. Fences and crossfences are mostly good, and ranch roads are simply tire tracks that follow fencelines for the most part. Electricity and telephone are on site, and a couple of old oil fields roads could be improved to usable condition. It is believed but not yet confirmed as of this writing that there are two plugged oil wells on the ranch which could be reworked and plugged back to the Carrizo/Wilcox sands, possibly creating volume artesian water flow, or irrigation volume if pumped.

The land itself possesses good variety, with a sandy elevated hillside to the east that falls to the Sandies Creek bottom of towering hardwoods and tight clay soils. There are heritage oaks found throughout the property along with cedar elm, pecans, mesquite and hackberry. A coastal field of about 25 acres is in fair shape, needing only a little TLC to become productive again.
Strong flowing Sandies Creek flows thru the property for about mile, with several deep holes linked by gurgling shoals. The water is fairly clear, and is said to be ever-flowing due to numerous artesian wells upstream. Some fish have been observed in the creek, which is a haven for game and varmints. Squirrel hunting would be rated as outstanding, with deer tracks and turkey feathers routinely found as well.
Small properties with this kind of variety and potential are rare in todays market, particularly ones with good road access and proximity to pavement. This is a potential showplace, no doubt, which awaits the new owner with the vision and gumption to make it happen. Your consideration is kindly appreciated.

Research Parcel InformationThis fine small ranch is located just a few miles north of Smiley, a sleepy rural community about 50 miles southeast of San Antonio. The site has long frontage on a gravel county road, and is surrounded by similar sized parcels used for recreation and ranching. Most goods and services are available in nearby Nixon (8 miles) or Yorktown & Gonzales (20 miles). There is a grocery store and restaurant in Smiley, but neither keep normal hours.
The area is decidedly rural, and agricultural.
