Evans Creek Ranch( 335 acres) is located in the Texas Hill Country about 18 miles west of the town of Medina, just off scenic Hwy 337, not far from Lost Maples State Park, in Bandera County. The prime feature of this property is the lake formed by a dam across Evans creek and lined with huge Cypress trees. This lake is over a quarter of a mile long and is as deep as 25 feet. It is stocked with bass and catfish and has a floating dock to fish and swim from. We are just finishing clearing some cedar on the far side of the lake to enhance the Park look of the lake area and to develop an alternate home site in case the new owner wants to build a new lakeside home or cabin. The views of both the lake and the surrounding hills are just awesome from this site.
Another great feature is a rambling ranch house that is decorated in a rustic style( Cowboys, Indians, elk antler and wagon-wheel chandeliers, steer hide rugs, and wood plank ceilings) and has a long screened in sleeping porch as well as 4 bedrooms and 2 baths. Most of the furnishings, including lots of great antiques, will be available for sale individually or as a package deal. Adjacent to the house is an old ceramic block barn with a huge high fenced, irrigated garden that is planted in everything from roses to cactus to peach trees. Other out-buildings include a 3 car garage with attached utility room and attached shop as well as a small equipment barn and a hunters cabin.
The terrain is diverse and includes about 65 acres of flat fertile land as well as canyons, bluffs, and mountain tops. This ranch would make a great week-end retreat with lots of activities including hunting, fishing, swimming, boating, and hiking. It would also make a great horse place or specialty farm( olives? lavender? wine grapes?).The price is $2,250,000 ( $6716/acre). Contact Jim Ahern at 210-410-2170.
