** Medina Lake Executive Retreat/Hideaway w/Runway Potential **
If you are looking for a ranch property to get away from the hustle & bustle of town and you want to smell the sweet smell of blossoming Mountain Laurels or seek the peace of long-range Hill Country views, then this property is waiting for you. Put your boots on and hike the scenic property or kick-em-off and relax on the shaded porches with inviting breezes. The property offers solitude and the chance for ownership of a ranch, which is less than 30-minutes to Loop 1604 and all the amenities of Big-City life.
While seemingly an oasis of flora and fauna, the quick drive from San Antonio leads you down paved roadways to the lower portion of Lake Medina Dam and the moss-covered Cypress trees and then up the road through the scenic rock corridor and the private gated-entry to the property. Once you enter the ranch, you will be witness to incredible views where the pressures of the day seem to disappear.
Improvements:
The ranch is completely perimeter high-fenced and is good to excellent condition. The property boasts two homes. The main home is a 2-bedroom / 1-bath log-style home with tile flooring, vaulted ceilings, kitchen with breakfast bar. The home is wired for security cameras and internet. Its open and spacious design is appealing to the eye. Exiting the back of the main home, one is welcomed by the open-air space of the concrete covered porch where breezes seem to sweep you off your feet. The views from the back porch beg for a beverage in-hand and realization of things-aren't-so-bad around here.
For your guest(s), they too have the luxury of a full kitchen and private porches in a completely renovated guest house with custom woodworking touches throughout. The front and back porches are enveloped by sweet-smelling Mountain Laurels and teasing views of the surrounding hills. The guest house has a full bath and vaulted ceilings.
Surface Lease(s) & Minerals:
Seller is believed to own 50% of the Mineral Estate and will convey all-owned Minerals, Royalties and 100% of the Executive Rights of the property. There is no existing Surface Lease(s) in-place; however, the neighbor currently ranges some cattle on the property so as to satisfy the Ag Valuation needs.
Water:
The property has one water-well to service the improvements with storage provided by a newly constructed concrete holding tank and well/pump equipment. There is one concrete livestock pila which is piped directly off of the well. No other surface water retention areas exist, other than natural catchment areas. Thus, the ranch could be improved for surface catchment.
Additional Opportunity:
The adjacent land owner is offering additional acreage (from 25-100 Acres) for $8,000/Acre, which could be added to the South of the subject property. There is a former grass runway to the South of the 55-Acres and an additional 25-Acres added to the 55-Acre subject property would take-in the 1,100' of runway. The runway would need to be cleared of tree re-growth, but would offer the Pilot property-owner a fly-in/fly-out property suitable for a Piper Cub or similar fixed-wing aircraft.
Put this property on your short-list and you won't be disappointed. The Blue-Bonnets are in full-bloom and the Springtime flowers are popping-out everywhere. Give us a call and we will meet you at the gate to give you a first-hand tour of the perfect Hill Country retreat.
