Live Oak Ranch
A stunning and historic 207 acre property located on the outskirts of Floresville, Texas with frontage on US Highway 181S and Farm to Market 537. Live Oak Ranch is under a 45-minute drive to downtown San Antonio, and two hours to Corpus Christi.
Constructed in 1973, the main residence is a 7,764 square-foot home designed by the acclaimed ONeil Ford. Known as the grandfather of Texas Modernism, Ford is recognized as Texas most celebrated 20th-century architects. According to Wikipedia, Many of Fords works are in San Antonio, where he lived for much of his life. They include the renovation of La Villita, the campus of Saint Marys Hall, the University of Texas at San Antonio main campus, and the Tower of the Americas. Furthermore, His sturdy structures always utilized brick, glass, and wood, and were brilliantly attuned to their physical settings (Skrhak, 2021).
