What many believe is one of [if not the] most unique and beautiful ranches in the South Texas / Corpus Christi area
Originally part of the historic Chapman Ranch (which was once part of the famous King Ranch), this 237.70 acre ranch is beautifully unique, with a 26 acre lake, a 12 acre pond, two smaller ponds, and almost a mile (4,462 ft.) bordering Petronilla Creek. The creek forms the entire west boundary and most of the southern boundary of the ranch. South of the creek is the King Ranch. The large lake is over 20 feet deep in areas, is uniquely shaped with beautiful peninsulas and inlets and is large enough for water skiing, floats, small boats and jet skis, is great for kayaking and other water activities, and contains bass and other fish, turtles, and is home to twelve geese and regularly utilized by migrating ducks, sandhill cranes and a large variety of birds. The ranch has a large, grass-manicured and irrigated area that borders the lake, with a beautiful, large pool near the lake. There is a garden and pens for chickens, peacocks, or similar small animals, seven fenced pastures, a 12-stall horse barn (approx. 2900 sq. ft.) and a large working-storage barn (approx. 2600 sq. ft.). These steel Barnmaster barns were built in 2004 at a cost of almost $300,000. The large pond is in the center of the "brush-area" of the ranch and has peninsulas and islands. The entire ranch is high-fenced and is home to a wide variety of exotic animals (zebras, elands, llamas, deer, antelope, oryx, buffalo).
The current owners removed the original 7000 sq. ft. main residence in anticipation of building a new home. The remaining concrete slab could be used for new construction. A 2400 sq. ft. Palm Harbor mfg. home with four bedrooms and wood decking and front and back porches is nestled next to the main lake and can serve as a primary residence and/or eventual guesthouse. There are two deep water wells, water tank, and booster pumps serving the ranch. This unique and beautiful ranch is priced to sell at $13,000.00 an acre.
The ranch is located 20 minutes south of Corpus Christi, Texas in Nueces County (20 minutes from CC Int'l Airport). It is 30 minutes to South Padre Island and the Gulf of Mexico( beaches, fishing, etc.). It is 2 and a half hours to San Antonio.
