Leakey, TX 78873 (Real County)
About this property
Less than a mile to Leakey, Tx enjoy the seclusion and quiet as Axis deer come into your yard. Massive pecans, live oaks and a few cypress line live water Patterson Creek, as it runs through the ranch with frontage on both sides in places. The creek has maintained an almost constant flow, going dry only twice in the past 12 years and was flowing well at the time of reporting. A 2BR/1BA main house and a 1BR/1BA guest casita provide separate living quarters for owners and guests or short-term rental use. Both houses sit on a ridge overlooking the creek with covered porches, long-range views and elevated positioning above the bottomland. A network of walking, horseback and ATV trails reaches most of the property including multiple access points to the creek and an engineered, private concrete crossing. Axis and whitetail deer, hogs along with turkey, dove, and waterfowl have been reported. Creek frontage, bottomland and elevation change create consistent wildlife movement across the ranch.
