Property Details

OVERVIEW

Windy Ridge Ranch offers an ideal blend of private ranch living and convenient proximity to Comfort, TX. With breathtaking Hill Country views, roaming free-range exotics, meticulously maintained landscape, and numerous potential building locations, it promises a quintessential ranch lifestyle. Landscape: The Windy Ridge Ranch landscape features everything desired in a Texas Hill Country property. The front of the ranch is rolling terrain and caliche knolls while the back unfolds into wooded bottomland. Phenomenal long-range views can be enjoyed from just about anywhere on the ranch, but a towering hilltop reaching over 1,840' in elevation offers the best vantage point. From here, 25+ mile panoramic views of the surrounding hills and nearby Guadalupe River Valley can be enjoyed. Down the east side of the hilltop are more wooded areas and a pond. Here, thoughtful cedar management has been completed, allowing for the other hardwoods to thrive. There is an excellent mix of cleared areas and foliage that supports the native and exotic wildlife on this ranch. Water: A seasonal creek traverses through the eastern section of the ranch, serving as the primary drainage for runoff from the hillsides. Positioned strategically within this drainage, a bentonite-lined pond captures water effectively. There is potential to replace the existing pond with a lake that would substantially enhance the property's value and would be visible from all potential homesites. The hillsides boast suitable clay material ideal for lining a water feature, promising significant savings on construction costs. Clearing around the wet weather creek has already been completed, providing a nice preview of the area's potential. There is a 17 GPM well located in the middle of the property. The well is perfectly positioned to supply water to both the front and back of the ranch. Improvements: The ranch's perimeter is entirely fenced with five-strand barbed wire. There is another fence enclosing one of the hilltops, keeping livestock away from the well and a homesite area. The property is Ag-exempt. Power has been brought into the middle of the ranch from Flat Rock Creek Road. There is a great interior road system that provides convenient access to all parts of the property. Strategic clearing has been completed to open up multiple homesite locations that take advantage of the stunning views. Wildlife: Native game, including whitetail deer, turkey, dove, and wild hogs, are found throughout the ranch. Free-ranging exotic game such as Blackbuck Antelope and Axis have also been seen consistently on the property. This area of Texas is known for its flourishing population of free-range Axis deer, with Windy Ridge Ranch situated very close to properties that have had Top 10 World Record Axis confirmed. Location: Windy Ridge Ranch enjoys a prime location just 4 miles from the Texas Hill Country's best-kept secret, Comfort, TX. It is 25 miles from Fredericksburg, 40 miles from the shops of La Cantera in San Antonio, and 100 miles from Austin. Its proximity to the thriving towns of Comfort, Boerne, and Fredericksburg presents an exceptional investment prospect. In addition, much of the ranch is surrounded by large multigenerational ranches, which contribute to the sense of seclusion and uninterrupted panoramic views. Free access to the Guadalupe River can also be enjoyed at the James Kiehl Natural Area located just 7 miles down the road from Windy Ridge Ranch. Summary: Windy Ridge Ranch has all the key components to stamp your legacy on the Texas Hill Country. With no restrictions, this property holds the promise of becoming your ideal private retreat, homestead, or investment venture. Contact TX Real Estate for more information on Windy Ridge Ranch.
