18185 Stillman Valley Road, Florence, Texas

Description

Welcome to a once-in-a-lifetime Texas legacy ranch where history, luxury, recreation, and income potential come together on 204 breathtaking high-fenced acres. This turnkey working exotic hunting ranch is home to thriving herds of whitetail deer, axis deer, fallow deer, aoudad, blackbuck antelope, and red sheep, all of which convey with an acceptable offer.

Beyond the private gated entrance, you'll discover rolling hills, improved coastal pastures, two stocked tanks, a seasonal creek lined with mature pecan trees, multiple cross-fenced pastures for livestock rotation, horse facilities with barn and corral, a large equipment/feed barn, water well, and endless panoramic Texas views.

Rich in history, the ranch is spring-fed by the legendary Underwood Spring, where bootleggers distilled whiskey during the early 1900s. Long before that, the property served as Native American hunting grounds, with thousands of arrowheads and pioneer artifacts discovered throughout the years.

Perched atop one of the highest elevations sits the stunning log-and-stone main residence, designed to capture miles of breathtaking countryside. Harevest logs from the ranch, create soaring vaulted ceilings, while real hardwood floors, ranch-harvested cedar cabinetry, thick granite countertops, recessed lighting, wainscoting, and expansive porches with classic Texas porch swings create a warm, luxurious retreat.

The property also includes a beautifully renovated 1945 stone cottage featuring 2 bedrooms, 1 bath, and a fenced yard—ideal for guests, a ranch manager, long-term rental, or Airbnb. A third fully remodeled hunting lodge comfortably sleeps eight and offers custom cabinetry, granite countertops, updated finishes, and a firepit overlooking a private pond, making it a favorite destination for hunters and guests alike.

Properties of this caliber rarely become available. This is more than a ranch—it's the Texas dream.
