Just minutes from the highly-desired Knippa ISD, this 55-acre property offers the perfect balance of peaceful country living and modern comfort. It's ideal for a weekend getaway, horse or grazing land, or a prime investment opportunity. A beautifully designed 800-sq ft studio-style barndominium boasts an open-concept layout and thoughtfully chosen high-end finishes throughout. The kitchen and bathroom areas feature granite countertops, custom cabinetry, and quality fixtures that give the space a luxurious feel. Step outside and enjoy the massive 1,000 sq ft covered porch for relaxing and entertaining, and two outbuildings for storage, workshop use, or agricultural needs. The land is perimeter fenced and serviced by an electric pole and meter loop, city water, a private water well (pumps 1 gal per minute--not currently hooked up), and septic system. A beautiful variety of mature native trees and shrubs, including mountain laurel, persimmon, huisache, and cenizo, add to the natural charm and attract local wildlife. White tail deer, axis, javelina, quail, dove, turkey, fox, bobcat, and other native varmints roam the property. The ranch is ag exempt, which means the yearly tax burden is far lighter! Enjoy panoramic views of the rolling hills that surround the area, with peaceful, starry nights and wide-open skies. Just a short drive to Uvalde or Hondo (and about an hour from San Antonio), you'll have convenient access to dining, shopping, and daily essentials-while still enjoying the quiet of a true country lifestyle. With its flexible use potential, this property is a rare and valuable find in the heart of South Texas!
