Description

Located between Sheridan and Garwood in Colorado County, this 40-acre tract offers a well-rounded opportunity for recreational use, a weekend retreat, or a future homesite, all within a convenient drive of Houston, Austin, and San Antonio. The property provides a balance of usability, natural beauty, and existing features that make it easy to enjoy immediately while still offering long-term potential.

The land is heavily wooded with a mix of tall pines and mature oak trees, creating a private and scenic setting throughout. An established oak grove has been cleared, providing an ideal location for a homesite or camp with minimal additional work required. The overall layout of the property allows for a variety of uses, whether that is building, hunting, or simply maintaining it as a recreational escape.

A 1.25-acre pond serves as a central feature and is supported by a strong 45 GPM well, offering a dependable water source for both recreational use and wildlife. The clear water and consistent supply enhance both the functionality and enjoyment of the property.

Wildlife is abundant and consistent with the area, including whitetail deer, Rio Grande turkey, feral hogs, dove, ducks, coyotes, and bobcats, providing year-round hunting and outdoor opportunities.

With county road access and no existing improvements, the property is ready to be taken in any direction—whether kept simple as a weekend place or further developed into a more permanent setup.

The property is 1.5 hours to Houston, 2 hours to Austin, 2 hours to San Antonio, and 1 hour to Victoria
