5 Texas Ranch, Vineyard Acreage, and Gulf Coast Waterfront Estates

Set on over 100 acres within a broader 253-acre ranch in Hico, this multi-purpose Texas holding is designed for working land and wide-open leisure alike. Open pastureland unfolds beneath mature oak trees, giving way to expansive native terrain suited for cattle operations, hunting, and year-round recreation. An agricultural exemption is already in place, with potential for wildlife management use—an approach that can reduce holding costs while supporting the property’s natural ecosystem. Utilities are available, creating a practical foundation for future improvements, whether envisioned as a ranch residence, a weekend retreat, or a long-term investment. A private shooting range adds another layer of versatility, alongside ample space to roam. With mineral rights negotiable, the setting invites a thoughtful, legacy-minded future.
