Gonzales County - 2524 Sandy Fork Rd., Harwood, TX
Exceptional High-Fenced Ranch – 392 +/- Acres of Prime Hunting and Agricultural Land in Caldwell County, Texas
This is a "Coming Soon" listing. Showings will begin on January 29, 2025.
We are pleased to present a rare opportunity to acquire an established, high-fenced ranch located approximately 20 miles west of Bastrop, Texas. This 392 +/- acre property consists of two contiguous tracts that have been held by the same families for over 60 years. The offering includes a 284 +/- acre tract and a 108 +/- acre tract, both of which have been carefully managed for wildlife and agricultural use. These parcels have been closely integrated over time, with the owner of the 284-acre tract leasing the 108-acre parcel for nearly three decades, making it a requirement for both tracts to be sold together.
This property is a walk-away offering, meaning the seller is leaving behind a comprehensive array of tools, equipment, furnishings, deer stands, feeders, and other items, allowing the new owner to immediately enjoy the land. Among the property’s key improvements is a well-maintained 28’x60’ modular home with 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, as well as a 12’x30’ bunkhouse. Additional structures include a 30’x60’ open-front metal barn and an 8’x10’ walk-in cooler designed for game processing.
Property Highlights:
Infrastructure and Equipment: Included in the sale are a 50 hp, 4WD Kubota tractor with loader, two Kawasaki Mules, and two Honda 4-wheelers, all of which contribute to the property’s operational efficiency.
Land and Terrain: The property is characterized by a mix of terrain, with approximately 70% of the land covered in brush and the remaining 30% open for agricultural or recreational purposes. Tree species include huge pines, cedar, post oak, mesquite, live oak, and various other softwoods. The soil varies from sandy loam to iron ore-covered areas, offering a unique landscape that features rolling hills, natural beauty, large boulders, and practical utility. Four strategically placed stock tanks, two of which are replenished by well-fed water sources, provide year-round water for wildlife and livestock.
Water and Utilities: Water is supplied by two private wells feeding two of the stock tanks, with additional access to Aqua Source public water available on both tracts. The property is fully electrified, offering easy potential for building a residence or additional structures on the most scenic sections of the land.
High-Fencing and Wildlife Management: The entire perimeter of the property is enclosed by high fencing, with an additional 13-acre high-fence trap located at the northern end. The property serves as a sanctuary for an impressive variety of wildlife, including an estimated 150 whitetail deer, 60 axis deer, 60 blackbuck antelope, 100 red stag, 6 red sheep, and 17 scimitar oryx. Feral hogs have been eradicated. The seller maintains a modest hunting program, with selective sales, and wildlife is supplemented with high-protein feed in addition to grazing on native grasses and brush.
Access and Location: The property is easily accessible, with approximately 4,689 feet of paved county road frontage along the southern boundary and 609 feet of paved frontage along the northern boundary, ensuring convenient access and future development potential.
Additional Features:
Runway: A 2,800 +/- foot grass airstrip is located on the property. While it has not been used in recent years, it could be revitalized with minimal effort to accommodate private aviation needs.
Tax Benefits: The property benefits from a wildlife exemption, resulting in reduced property taxes.
