Positioned just outside Harper with direct access to Hwy 290 and I-10, this 174.85 acre Gillespie County ranch has a lot going for it - good land, solid improvements, a working ag exemption, and the kind of regional accessibility that makes a property easy to get to and easy to hold. The land is gently rolling native pasture with scattered hardwoods and open grazing suited for cattle, goats, equine, or diversified livestock operations. Hill Country views open up across the property, and the fencing and cross-fencing are well maintained throughout. Everything is positioned directly off a paved county road, which keeps access easy and leaves the majority of the acreage open and uninterrupted. The improvements include a 3-bedroom, 2-bath brick home with approximately 2,145 square feet of living space - solid and ready to occupy. A 1,650 SF barn with workshop handles storage and covered workspace. A 640 SF shop/carport adds more covered capacity. A 384 SF meat room/smokehouse and livestock working pens round out an operation that doesn't need much before it's fully running. The ag exemption is current - $1,162.64 a year on nearly 175 acres. The improvements are positioned at the road frontage, leaving the bulk of the acreage open - and for the right buyer, there's an opportunity to separate the improvements and build to your own vision on the land. Offered at $2,250,000.
