This 56.732+/- acre working farm property just south of Hondo, Texas offers premium farmland, ranching, recreation, and investment potential. Just 55 minutes from San Antonio and two hours from Austin, it features rich black bottomland soil, ideal for commercial farming. The working farm produces vine ripe tomatoes, specialty peppers, lettuce, okra, assorted cereal crops, and assorted hay crops. Farmland benefits from a deep oxbow irrigation lake with a 45 dam, wet-weather creek, stock pond, and metered COOP water, with additional shallow wells and access to the Edwards Aquifer. For outdoor enthusiasts, the land is alive with wildlife, offering excellent hunting for deer, turkey, and more. The partially wooded terrain provides seclusion and scenic beauty, making it a great recreational retreat. The property qualifies for agricultural and wildlife tax exemptions, ensuring low tax carrying costs. There's a 1108 sq. ft. 2 bedroom, 1 bathroom home, built in 1952 from 12-inch D'Hanis brick tile, has been updated with a modern kitchen, cherry cabinets, Corian counters, and stainless appliances. A 1,100 sq. ft. redwood deck with a spa cutout offers a relaxing outdoor space as the sun goes down over the fields. This property is ideal for ranching and self-sufficiency, featuring a barn with hot/cold water and electric, a carport with electric, and an outbuilding shed. A game-proof Resaca pen includes cattle sheds, while a cattle chute with sheds ensures smooth livestock handling. A new (2021) 30' x 96' commercial greenhouse supports year-round vegetable production with new poly covers, a propane heater, exhaust fans, and intakes. The family working farm also offers 50% negotiable mineral rights. Yancey, Texas, is just 47 minutes from downtown San Antonio—close yet peaceful. No HOA, low crime, no light pollution, city noise, or smog—just open space and freedom. Perfect for a farm, hunting retreat, or investment. Schedule your showing today!
