Exceptional High-Fenced Ranch - 392 +/- Acres of Prime Hunting and Agricultural Land in Caldwell County, Texas We are excited to offer a rare opportunity to own an established, high-fenced ranch located just 20 miles west of Bastrop, Texas. This 392 +/- acre property consists of two contiguous tracts that have been in 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 necessary for both tracts to be sold together. This is a walk-away property, meaning the seller is leaving behind a comprehensive collection of tools, equipment, furnishings, deer stands, feeders, and other essentials, allowing the new owner to immediately enjoy the land. Notable improvements include a well-maintained 28'x60' Palm Harbor, modular home with three bedrooms and two bathrooms, a 12'x30' bunkhouse, a 30'x60' open-front metal barn, and an 8'x10' walk-in cooler for game processing and a tree house, inspired by Treehouse Masters. The interior is finished with wood paneling, a/c, and a second-level loft for additional sleeping. Lighting is both conventional as well as infrared. 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 enhance the property's operational efficiency. Land and Terrain: The land features a mix of terrain, with 70% covered in brush and 30% open for agricultural or recreational use. Tree species include towering pines, cedar, post oak, mesquite, live oak, and other softwoods. The soil varies from sandy loam to iron ore-covered areas, offering rolling hills, natural beauty, large boulders, and practical utility. Four strategically placed stock tanks-two replenished by well-fed water sources-provide year-round water for both wildlife and livestock. Water and Utilities: Water is supplied by two private wells, feeding two of the stock tanks. Additional Aqua Source public water is available on both tracts for domestic use. The property is fully electrified, offering easy potential for building a residence or other structures in scenic areas. High Fencing and Wildlife Management: The property is fully enclosed by high fencing with predator wire, inclusive of an additional 13-acre high-fence interior trap at the northern end. It serves as a sanctuary for a diverse array 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, including selective sales, and supplements wildlife with high-protein feed, in addition to grazing on native grasses and brush. Access and Location: The property offers excellent access, with approximately 4,689 feet of paved county road frontage along the southern boundary and 609 feet of paved frontage along the northern boundary, providing 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 recently, it could be easily revitalized for private aviation needs. Tax Benefits: The property qualifies for a wildlife exemption, resulting in reduced property taxes.
