DESCRIPTION:
Circle J Farm combines 95 acres of improved pasture with diverse South Texas brush, while a scenic overlook in the north corner provides sweeping countryside views and has even served as a wedding venue for the owners’ daughter. Cross-fenced for cattle, the property includes centrally located working pens.
The front pasture is fenced off from livestock, allowing winter oats to be planted for deer and later grazed by cattle. Located within an hour of downtown San Antonio, this exceptional estate blends refined country living with abundant recreation, including hunting, UTV riding, horseback riding, biking, and hiking. Falls City ISD holds a statewide A rating and a score of 90 from the Texas Education Association, ranks highly in many categories, and attracts students from surrounding communities. The property could also accommodate a home-based business or private workspace. Country estates of this caliber and proximity to San Antonio are increasingly rare.
LOCATION:
This exceptional 95-acre estate lies just 5.5 miles east of Falls City and approximately 30 miles south of Loop 1604 in San Antonio. Set about 500 yards off FM 791, the property offers remarkable peace and privacy.
IMPROVEMENTS:
Beyond the ornate electric gate, a covered front porch spans the length of this beautiful four-bedroom, two-bath stone ranch house. Built five years ago, the rustic, architecturally designed home offers more than 2,250 square feet of living space, plus a 1,800-square-foot covered carport. Three bedrooms and a full bath are located on the west side, with one bedroom currently serving as an office. The primary suite is on the opposite side and features a bath with a shower, Jacuzzi tub, and dual sinks. An open-concept, fully furnished kitchen with a breakfast and serving bar flows into the dining and great rooms. A new pipe-and-wire fence encloses the home, and the utility room includes a water shutoff panel that allows service to be isolated when problems arise.
A concrete walkway from the back door leads to a covered, above-ground stone firepit and barbecue area created from a new round grain bin, making it enjoyable even in unpleasant weather. Nearby, a five-year-old, 40-by-60-foot enclosed metal shop includes a bathroom with shower, roll-up doors, a concrete floor, and 30-by-60-foot covered equipment or work areas at both the front and rear.
Attached to the shop is a new, accessible 34-by-32-foot barndominium with two bedrooms, one bath, and an open kitchen, dining, and living area. Additional outdoor storage is provided by three 40-foot shipping containers spaced about 50 feet apart, with covered metal pole-barn areas between them for equipment, implements, and materials. The headquarters complex also includes a five-year-old, four-bedroom, two-bath manufactured home for the manager, complete with a fenced yard.
WATER:
Three Oaks Water Supply serves the headquarters complex and two livestock troughs.
WILDLIFE:
Wildlife is abundant, including white-tailed deer, hogs, javelinas, coyotes, bobcats, turkeys, quail, mourning and white-winged doves, and other native mammals and birds.
MINERALS:
The owners are willing to convey a portion of the mineral rights associated with the property’s location in the highly productive Eagle Ford Shale.
