Multiple tillable fields on the ranch that have been used for farming in the past. Abundant native and exotic game including whitetail deer, turkey, and axis make this an exceptional hunting property. Access is convenient with paved road frontage on Klein Branch Road, and an additional deeded easement to Lange Road ensures flexibility for future use. A solid internal road system provides easy navigation throughout the ranch. Improvements include a 3-bedroom, 2-bath vintage ranch house that could be restored, along with multiple barns, loafing sheds, and two water wells (one currently in use). An older mobile home is also on-site but holds little value. Located just an hour from San Antonio, two hours from Austin, and a short drive to Fredericksburg, this property combines seclusion with accessibility an increasingly rare find in the Hill Country. Don't miss this opportunity to make your mark on a generational ranch in one of Texas most desirable regions.
