Windy Ridge Ranch offers an ideal blend of private ranch living and convenient proximity to Comfort, TX. With breathtaking Hill Country views, roaming free-range exotics, meticulously maintained landscape, and numerous potential building locations, it promises a quintessential ranch lifestyle.
Landscape
The Windy Ridge Ranch landscape features everything desired in a Texas Hill Country property. The front of the ranch is rolling terrain and caliche knolls while the back unfolds into wooded bottomland. Phenomenal long-range views can be enjoyed from just about anywhere on the ranch, but a towering hilltop reaching over 1,840 in elevation offers the best vantage point. From here, 25+ mile panoramic views of the surrounding hills and nearby Guadalupe River Valley can be enjoyed. Down the east side of the hilltop are more wooded areas and a pond. Here, thoughtful cedar management has been completed, allowing for the other hardwoods to thrive. There is an excellent mix of cleared areas and foliage that supports the native and exotic wildlife on this ranch.
Water
A seasonal creek traverses through the eastern section of the ranch, serving as the primary drainage for runoff from the hillsides. Positioned strategically within this drainage, a bentonite-lined pond captures water effectively. There is potential to replace the existing pond with a lake that would substantially enhance the propertys value and would be visible from all potential homesites. The hillsides boast suitable clay material ideal for lining a water feature, promising significant savings on construction costs. Clearing around the wet weather creek has already been completed, providing a nice preview of the areas potential.
There is a 17 GPM well located in the middle of the property. The well is perfectly positioned to supply water to both the front and back of the ranch.
Improvements
The ranchs perimeter is entirely fenced with five-strand barbed wire. There is another fence enclosing one of the hilltops, keeping livestock away from the well and a homesite area. The property is Ag-exempt. Power has been brought into the middle of the ranch from Flat Rock Creek Road. There is a great interior road system that provides convenient access to all parts of the property. Strategic clearing has been completed to open up multiple homesite locations that take advantage of the stunning views.
