Property Description
Located midway between Castroville and LaCoste, the 347 Ranch is one of the most unique and scenic ranch properties in all of Medina County offering diverse acreage and endless potential. The ranch contains an abundance of wildlife, a wide variety of topography and habitat, multiple ponds and over a mile and a half of frontage on the BMA irrigation canal. Ranches of this size and quality rarely come on the market in this part of Medina County. Situated atop a stand-alone hill in the northeast section of the ranch, the "Ranch Home on the Hill" is one of the many highlights that set this property apart. The 3,000 sq. ft. residence features 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, a two-car garage, and ample storage space. It is believed the home was built in the 1970s but has undergone multiple renovations. The location and breathtaking views from the homesite are what really set it apart. The stunning 360-degree views range from the majority of the ranch to the southwest to the Medina River valley and surrounding communities (including downtown San Antonio and Sea World) to the north and east. It is truly something that must be experienced firsthand to fully appreciate. Paved County Road 579 ends at the automatic gated entrance, providing convenient access and end-of-the-road privacy. Approximately 236.26 acres of the ranch, including the ranch house, barns, multiple ponds and other improvements are located east of the BMA canal. The 236.26 acres has quality black soils and habitat common to South and Central Texas. A large portion of this bottom section of the ranch (approx.. 70.5 acres) is within the BMA irrigation district and has historically been serviced by three existing water valves and portable pumps for irrigation purposes. Due to the ongoing severe drought conditions the BMA canal is currently not flowing, however, during normal years the land within the district may be irrigated with water from the canal in accordance with BMA rules. There are two existing East Medina water meters currently in place as well as a large East Medina Water Line (believed to be 4 or 6") that spans the length of this section of the ranch. You cross a heavy-duty bridge (constructed in 2019 with BMA-permitted access) to reach the upper 110.61 +/- acre section of the ranch. This area consists of large rolling hills, deep valleys, and panoramic views that rival or even surpass the amazing scenery from the home site. The 347 Ranch offers endless possibilities as a private retreat and recreational paradise, a productive agricultural property, or even as an investment/development opportunity. Its natural beauty, strategic location, and unique features make it a rare opportunity that won't last long.
