, Gonzales, TX (Gonzales County)

WATER: The property has two surface tanks, one in each of the largest two pastures. The tanks hold well during dry times, as neither went dry during the severe drought of 2006. They function as a permanent source of water for both livestock and wildlife, and also provide the opportunity to catch an occasional catfish or perch. Water to the site is provided by a Gonzales County Water Supply line, with underground water in the immediate area found in the Queen’s City Aquifer (minor) and the deeper Carrizo/Wilcox Aquifer.

LAND: The parcel is home to a mixture of beautiful Post Oak studded knolls and mesquite thickets found along small drainages running to the northwest corner and bisecting the property to the south. The range is strong, as the native grasses, primarily little bluestem and an occasional pocket of coastal bermuda, stand stirrup-high over each of the three pastures. The ranch is fenced and cross-fenced using typical 4-strand barbed wire and all is in excellent condition.

Soils on the site consist of fine, sandy loams that are best suited as grow mediums for rangeland and pastureland, as well as for wildlife habitat. The soils are well drained with moderate erosion potential that can be controlled by proper range management techniques. The land has been used primarily for the grazing of horses and a small herd of cattle in the recent past.

IMPROVEMENTS: The house is approximately 2,450 sf with 4 bedrooms, 3.5 baths and a tastefully open design, combining the best of Old Mexico and the Texas Hill Country. The home was built in 2005 and sits overlooking a swimming hole surrounded by large Post Oaks and a sea of grass, providing a setting that is second to none. The exterior of the two-story frame is white limestone, with a standing seam metal roof and 780 sf of cedar-beamed covered porches. Inside is an artisan’s mixture of stained concrete and wooden flooring, saltillo and painted Mexican tile, limestone bar and fireplace, and stained and natural wooden finishes.

Nestled near the ranch house is a 32’ X 60’, corrugated metal barn on wooden frame and beams built last year. The barn is primarily dirt floored, with the tack room being on a 20’ X 20’ concrete slab. The roping/riding arena (100’ X 220’) lies next to the barn and is mainly used for training purposes and calf roping, but has two wooden split rail boxes and a large chute and could certainly be used for team roping as well. It is fenced with typical net wire on cedar posts, with a small holding pen behind the chute.

GENERAL: Overall, Cowboy Country Haven is set up and ready to go, with a centralized location, a wonderful home, functional outbuildings and arena, and a combination of beautiful pastureland and wildlife habitat. You’re cordially invited to come and see for yourself, as it is certainly a place one would be proud to hang their hat.
