This rare historic South Texas Ranch is ready for new owners. The Skipper Ranch

originated in the late 1930's with over 10,000 acres. For sale today are

approximately 815+- acres of prime South Texas habitat that is rarely seen on

the market. Along with the acreage is a beautiful 3000sf Spanish Style Hacienda

built in the 1930's that has been restored by the current owners. Also situated

on the property is a new 3275sf lodge and a completely remodeled 728sf Bunk

House. All 3 houses combined will sleep 24 very comfortably. All offer a variety

of outdoor spaces for entertaining, BBQ'ing, or just plain relaxing. The 2 no

maintenance Bat Houses keep the mosquitoes away so you can have outdoor

enjoyment all year long. For cooler nights and within the compound, the large

fire pit with seating is a true joy.

Additional improvements to the ranch are the large enclosed barn and the 3 sided

implement barn, both with concrete flooring. This ranch is paved from the

highway through the housing compound with various parking areas, some covered.

Remaining roads out on the ranch are all weather access and easy to navigate.

The front pond is ideal for "kid" fishing with its palapa covered dock and

seating area. (stocked with Bass, Tilapia and Perch) A lighted fountain helps

aerate the pond and provides a beautiful scene from the patios. The 6 acre lake

out on the ranch has a beautifully landscaped Palapa style gathering area with a

walkway to an additional fire pit. The area is neatly fenced so the animals

won't eat the plants and flowers. The lake has 2 docks and a swim platform for

tons of outdoor fun, and is stocked with Bass, Catfish, Tilapia, and Perch. This

lake is set up with a state of the art aeration system to allow for maximum

oxygen flow.
