SW TX ranch, airstrip, large oaks, west of San Antonio

Need to get away? But not too far away?                     

Are you ready for the upcoming chaos in the cities; or, have you figured out that it's time to get out of the city and be selfsufficient...here's the perfect spot!

Land:

Two entrances to 100+/- acres. Aprx. 65 acres of crop land at the south end. The north end consists of brush, mesquites, hackberry, oaks and pastures. Part of this ranch looks like a park! The airstrip is Bermuda and native from seed and sod, about 3,000 feet by 80 feet with automatic irrigation and a concreted wind sock. With a little work on some of the lights and ground this will be a strip your friends will drool over! Build YOUR home. There is a fantastic spot for your custom home with calming views gazing through the majestic oaks to the north and east with the pond site in between. Hunters ask us constantly if they can hunt on our land! The land is under ag/wildlife exemption with  CRP annual income. This is very private, mostly fenced/cross fenced. Gallop your horses, fill your freezer w/ game, plant hay for your herd, or sell your crops. Drive your ATVs or meander on the trails.

Structures:

 Almost 3400 square foot metal and wood building/hanger with concrete floor/foundation, electric bifold door, soft water (piped from the house) for washing your fancy cars, airplanes or 4X4s. The main open area is almost 2500 sf, open to the ceiling w/ sky lights. The additional almost 900 sf is currently divided into four areas including an office. All of the area above the 8 ft ceilings is "floored" for storage! The north side is structured for an additional bifold door. A key pad locked door allows entry from the north into the office where there is a door to the hanger.

The house is what it is: original homestead on more cedar posts than you can count. So the doors open according to the weather and the floors arent exactly even. BUT, it is very livable with central heat and air, gas/propane cocks in every room, a beautiful wood burning stove, and ceiling fans on the 10 ft ceilings. You get a top of the line Bosh dishwasher. There is loads of cabinet space and one of the counter tops is butcher block. You can fit a full size w/d and freezer in the utility room.

Your main bedroom is a good size and the extra room is your office or child's bedroom. The porch is deep and the propane supply is hooked up through the large side deck that overlooks a Koi pond with two waterfalls. A brick grill and patio are under a different beautiful oak in the back yard. This house is the perfect hunters' cottage because it is a joy for the nonhunter too! You can live in it while you build your dream home and put in your pond then treat your guests to one fantastic Bed and Breakfast!

Although not very pretty, the garage with benches, peg boards, storage shelves and a car port is quite handy for a small car, lawn equipment, tools and seasonal items. Besse Anne's Barn has a concrete floor on half with amenities. The other half has a dirt floor. Yours is a great non-Edwards well (can you say, "No regs and no meters!") with a new tank and 5 hp pump which takes the water from the north to the south end of the property. When other wells were going dry in the drought yours was going strong!

 Fantastic Location!

 You will live about 25 minutes to 2 Super Walmarts, shopping, etc. ,-- go west to Uvalde or east to Hondo-- plus only 5 min. to basic necessities. This is an easy, under one hour, straight shot to San Antonio staying the speed limit! Yet, you still get your privacy, no bugging neighbors, no city noise, and all the stars twinkling in the evening sky.

Within about an hour you have Seaworld, the San Antonio River Walk, fishing, shopping malls, Garner State Park for camping and hiking, operas, tubing, museums, amazing exotic game hunting, Living Waters Church, exquisite dining and the best Mexican food in the country. You can spend the day at Lake Amistad, Medina Lake or the San Antonio Rodeo and still be home to sleep in your own bed!

San Antonio International Airport is only about 1 hr 15 minutess driving. It takes longer than that from some areas "in" San Antonio! Uvalde airport is apx. 25 min. driving. Hondo airport - 20 min. , Castroville - 45 min. Flying Oaks Ranch could easily be turned into a family compound/retreat, a beautiful horse farm or an outfitter's base camp. It could also easily be developed into a residential airpark . Both entrances are off Uvalde county road 317 which T's east and west 1/4 mile south from Highway 90. Did I mention you get 100% mineral rights? The properties with privacy this close to San Antonio are going to continue escalating in price because this commute is so easy compared to the stop and go, pull-your-hair-out commute from/down Highway 16 or 281. The prices are soaring just 20 min. away in the Texas hill country where the century oaks are dieing from oak wilt. The oaks on Flying Oaks Ranch are basically safe, being a group by themselves.

 Whether you like hanging out with friends at your ranch or enjoying the San Antonio entertainment, Flying Oaks Ranch is a perfectly located personal sanctuary. A local realtor showed it at $595,000. Three realtors told us, if this ranch were just 20 min north it would sell in a week for well over a million dollars! Bad for us; great for you! Why pay Texas hill country prices for neighbor noise, bumper to bumper traffic and rocks when you can enjoy calm nights under inspiring oaks, rich soil, a pleasant drive to work and some of the best culture and entertainment Texas offers? !!REDUCED !!!   Will sell for $460,000!! We were going to hang on to FOR until we received a great offer.  Now we MUST sell this ranch b/c we just bought another one! Make us an offer! No contingency contracts. We may consider owner financing with over $200,000 down for someone who is waiting for his/her own house to sell. Call (210) 415-6745.
