Villa Nueva Ranch is a 340 acre property located just south of Hwy 90 along CR 303 in Uvalde County. The ranch offers a good balance of cattle and hunting opportunities, combined with a comfortable home and useful improvements. Its location and mix of farmland, brush, and native habitat make it a versatile place for both wildlife and recreation. Location & Access: The ranch is situated just outside of Knippa, only 15 minutes from Uvalde. Uvalde provides everyday services, shopping, and restaurants, as well as the Garner Field Airport (KUVA), which offers a 5,256-foot runway capable of accommodating most private aircraft. From the ranch, San Antonio is approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes to the east, while Houston is about 4 hours away by car. This combination of rural privacy and convenient access makes Villa Nueva Ranch easily reachable for both local and out-of-town owners. Improvements: The headquarters includes a single-story ranch-style home built in 2000. The house features three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and approximately 2,258 sq. ft. of living space. Inside, an open living and dining area with 10-foot ceilings is anchored by a wood-burning rock fireplace. The kitchen includes an island with a dining/breakfast bar, offering both function and space for gathering. Just off the main living area, a 431 sq. ft. screened-in porch provides a quiet spot to enjoy the outdoors and overlooks a landscaped patio. Supporting the home is a 40 x 60 enclosed metal barn on a concrete slab, with an attached 20 x 60 equipment shed for tractors, implements, or additional storage. Inside the barn is an air-conditioned workshop, a bathroom, and guest quarters that can comfortably house visitors or ranch staff. These improvements make the ranch well-suited for both day-to-day operations and hosting family or friends. Water: The property is well watered, with three wells servicing the ranch. All are equipped with electric submersible pumps. The primary source is a 1,100-foot Edwards well, providing dependable water quality and volume. In addition, a small earthen tank supplements livestock and wildlife. Soils & Terrain: The terrain is level ground, offering a nice mix of open country and scenic views. Most of the soils are Knippa clay loam, which are highly productive and known for their strength, while the balance is Olmos soils. These types of soilssupport both crop production and improved grasses, making the land useful for grazing or farming. Vegetation: Roughly 25% of the ranch remains in native South Texas brush, creating excellent wildlife habitat and natural cover. Brush species include guajillo, blackbrush, persimmon, whitebrush, granjeno, huisache, and others. Native trees such as mesquite, elm, hackberry, and live oak are also scattered across the property. The remaining 75% is farmland and improved pasture planted in Klein grass, bluestem, and Tifton 85 Bermuda, providing ample grazing and hay production. This combination of brush and improved pasture creates both agricultural value and strong hunting appeal. Wildlife: Villa Nueva Ranch supports a variety of native wildlife. Whitetail deer, turkey, quail, dove, and hogs are common, making the property a solid hunting property in addition to its cattle and farming uses. The mix of brush and open fields provides food, water, and cover, creating reliable habitat throughout the year. Summary: Villa Nueva Ranch is a well-rounded property with good water, strong soils, and a balanced mix of farmland, brush, and improved pasture. With its comfortable home, functional barn, and supporting infrastructure already in place, the ranch is ready to serve as a working cattle operation, a hunting retreat, or a combination of both. Its proximity to Uvaldes airport, plus easy access to San Antonio and Houston, ensures convenience without sacrificing the privacy and space of true ranch living.
