A sprawling, resort-style ranch estate has just hit the market north of San Antonio, asking $9.9 million. The property, located at 188 Specht Road, offers a rare mix of secluded luxury and working ranch functionality, all while sitting just 15 minutes from FM 1604.
Listing agent Perry Donop of West and Swope Ranches notes that finding this level of improvement and acreage so close to the city is becoming increasingly rare. He points out that the estate is versatile, working well as a private family compound or an event venue, but also holding significant potential for a buyer with a larger development vision.
The 67-acre spread comes fully equipped for immediate agricultural use. The sale package includes a herd of cattle, a tractor, a Bobcat, two Kubota UTVs, and a full set of livestock facilities. There is also a feed shack, a chicken coop, and all necessary feeders. For someone looking to step into the ranching lifestyle without starting from scratch, the infrastructure is already in place.
Beyond the working aspects, the estate is designed for entertainment and relaxation. The main residence and guest quarters are built around the idea of resort living, with ample space for hosting large gatherings. The combination of distance from the city and the density of the improvements makes this a standout listing in the current Hill Country market.
