Comanche Hay Farm

Situated just 8± miles south of Kenedy, Texas, in Karnes County, the farm offers excellent accessibility, only 1± mile west of paved CR 181. Key distances include 68± miles to San Antonio, 122± miles to Austin, 194± miles to Houston, and 86± miles to Corpus Christi, making it an ideal blend of rural tranquility and convenient city access.

The property is square-shaped with a gentle slope and scenic views, ranging in elevation from 430’± to 470’± asl. The soil consists of Clareville Clay Loam and Weesatch fine sand. Notably, this property has no known pipeline easements, wind generators, or surface oil and gas operations. The recently cleared 28± acres can contribute to increased hay production once a new owner sprigs it. The northeast and northwest corners offer prime locations for constructing surface tanks. The land is cross-fenced into three pastures, each with access to new concrete watering troughs connected to the well. Five adjacent landowners range from 28± to 365± acres, providing a sense of privacy without isolation.

The planted grass variety is called Comanche Bermuda. According to published data, it is a highly productive, economical alternative to Coastal Bermuda grass sprigging. There is a specially formulated three-way pasture blend of Giant Bermuda, Common Bermuda, and a New SouthernForage Bermuda. Comanche is better than pure Giant Bermuda grass stands because the addition of Common Bermuda grass produces a tighter sod to reduce weed competition, and the new Southern Forage type increases productivity with its reduced frost kill and resistance to various diseases and resistance to Bermuda SmutMites. The Seller does not own mineral rights.

The property features valuable improvements, including a 2,400± sf metal barn, updated cross and perimeter fencing, a cozy single-room cabin for overnight stays, an electric domestic water well, and a secure storage container for additional equipment or valuables.

Four of the five properties border the farm with dense brush, creating excellent wildlife corridors. Whitetail deer are frequently spotted during the morning and evening hours. Karnes County’s reputation for abundant dove populations makes this property a potential hotspot for wing shooting, especially if a surface tank is added to attract birds for their evening watering.

The property features a dependable domestic water well drilled in 2010, reaching approximately 290’± deep and producing just under 20 gpm. The well supplies the cabin and the two concrete water troughs, one with a 700± gallon capacity and the other holding 1,300± gallons, ensuring consistent water access for livestock across the cross-fenced pastures.
