Description: Peaceful Valley Ranch is conveniently located along FM 462 with more than a half-mile of road frontage. Entry to this spectacular ranch is through a massive iron front gate onto a paved drive which leads to a 4,000 +/- sqft, western elegant style stucco and cantera columned homestead with double portico entry. Terrain on the ranch is rolling and covered in an extraordinary variety of high protein brush species, huge Oak trees and blanketed with thick native grasses. This ranch has a diversity of rich, level field land up front, and heavily wooded rocky Hill Country topography of the mountain. The acreage is completely high-fenced along the perimeter, with brand new interior high-fence as well; the pasture area comprises 130 acres of improved klien grass. An amazing feature of this ranch is the 1000' elevation mountain behind the homes and shop area with fantastic 25-mile views from the top accessed by jeep, riding, and walking trails.

Wildlife: Wildlife on the ranch includes an abundance of turkey, dove, and introduced whitetail deer genetics. A nice pond stocked for fishing stays at a constant level and is located at the edge of the pastures in front of the home. The pond is also home to a variety of waterfowl.

Water: There are two wells on the property, one is approximately 485' deep with a new 1.5 HP pump and the second well is approximately 980' deep with a new 5 HP pump. These wells serve the two homes, several livestock, wildlife water troughs and the pond.

Improvements: The headquarters area is well planned and architecturally designed beginning with the main home that is 4BR/4.5BA. The home is tan colored stucco with a barrel tile roof, double thermal pane windows, along with two air-conditioning units programmed with individual thermostats for each bedroom.

The kitchen features stainless steel appliances, granite counter tops, two sink areas, center island, breakfast bar and a double stove/oven cooking area beneath an arched white rock wall. A reverse osmosis water system handles all the kitchen water and a soft water system handles the remainder of the home. A full length tile and cantera columned porch wrap the entire rear of the home accentuating the spacious courtyard; the perimeter of the courtyard is enclosed by a four foot tall stucco wall and centered with a stone patio and a relaxing cantera stone fountain. This well designed outdoor entertaining expanse ties everything together for an enjoyable time spent with family and friends under the south Texas skies.
