278 Acres in Yorktown, TX - $1,300,000
Country Estate
This country estate is set for the perfect weekend getaway from the Austin-Houston-San Antonio area and can readily be converted to a Kentucky-style horse breeding facility.
One hour from San Antonio, this beautiful property is located in northwestern DeWitt County on the highest ridge between Houston and San Antonio. Known as Nob Hill Beacon, this ridge was a landmark for pioneer wagon trains making their way to San Antonio from ships landing along the Gulf Coast. From the estate home, there are 270° degree views of the surrounding countryside.
Visitors enter the property via massive, well-lit and secure pipe entrance-exit gates that are landscaped with large planter boxes and irrigated by a two-inch water line. The beautiful limestone rock home rises atop the ridge one-half mile from the paved 25 ft. wide entrance off CR 952 six miles west of Yorktown.

The custom built 3,500 sq. ft. 4BR 3BA home is constructed of Austin limestone with an attached two-car garage with cement tile roof. Cathedral ceilings highlight the large Living Room with wet bar and fireplace. A separate formal Dining Room is adjacent to the Subzero equipped stainless Kitchen. Beautiful Saltillo tile floors accent the home throughout.
The patio area is perfect for outdoor entertaining with landscaped rose gardens and the irrigated six-acre lawn is supplied by three Toro sprinkler systems. The lawn is dotted with pecan, magnolia, fig and oak trees.
The home complex includes an additional well-lit four-car garage with roll-up metal doors and car wash stall and air compressor with three hose-reels piped in via half-inch stainless steel tubing.
Two stock tanks can be found at the front of the property entrance (one holds water year-round) and a stock tank at the rear of the property that is reinforced with a 23-inch clay bottom and 18-inch crushed limestone rock foundation. Water is added periodically to this tank via sprinkler system for year-round constant level. Picture post card views with natural wildlife feeding in the early mornings and evenings are included along with this idyllic spot!
The interior two-mile road network on this estate was dug out and filled with an 18-inch crushed limestone rock foundation with all culverts having cemented bulkheads at both ends and all ditches have been compacted with crushed limestone.
All 278 acres of this ranch are planted in Coastal Bermuda with 1,700 round bales having been harvested last year.
Owner will convey 25% minerals.
