The ranch is located in Real County, a region celebrated for its natural beauty, wildlife, and recreational appeal. Though it offers the feel of complete privacy and remoteness, the property remains within driving distance to the town of Leakey and other Hill Country communities, making access simple without sacrificing the solitude and peace so highly valued in this region.

The ranch is 29± miles from Leakey, 29± miles from Camp Wood, 39± miles from Rocksprings, 44± miles from Mountain Home, 62± miles from Kerrville, 111± miles from the Rim at San Antonio, and 162± miles from Austin.

The topography of 522 Ranch is a striking blend of rolling elevation, ridgelines, and wooded draws that create ideal cover for wildlife and stunning views from numerous vantage points. A network of established trails and interior roads allows for seamless navigation throughout the ranch—whether on foot, ATV, or UTV. A large cave adds character to the ranch, creating a unique attraction. From the moment you enter through the gated entrance, the land invites exploration, with every turn revealing a new natural feature or panoramic vista.

The ranch is fully high-fenced and features practical improvements designed to enhance accessibility and promote wildlife management. An established road and trail system ensures ease of travel across the property, while a gated entrance provides privacy and security. A power line crosses a portion of the ranch, presenting potential for utility access, future lodging, or even off-grid development. Two water wells, multiple troughs, a water storage tank, and a game management infrastructure support long-term stewardship of the land and wildlife.

ELECTRICITY

The property has good access to electricity on both the north and south sides, affording a feasible opportunity for future structural improvement.

522 Ranch is a true hunting and wildlife property, supporting a wide array of game, including whitetail deer, Rio Grande turkey, and various exotic species native to the region. The property is currently part of a game management development program, reaching a pivotal point, which allows the owner to make key decisions regarding its final direction.   The owner could expand on whitetail, exotics, or a combination. The habitat has been improved over the last three years with limited stocking rates and good precipitation. Feeders and blinds are already in place, and the terrain—coupled with the availability of water and natural cover—creates ideal conditions for sustaining healthy wildlife populations. The ranch’s seclusion and limited hunting pressure enhance its reputation as a year-round outdoor destination.

The ranch features two working wells, three strategically placed water troughs, and a large water storage tank that supports the game management efforts.
