Whether you envision a working ranch, a private weekend retreat, or an investment opportunity, Darst Creek Ranch invites you to explore its potential. LOCATION: Guadalupe County, particularly the Seguin area, is experiencing rapid growth and development, making this 228-acre ranch an increasingly valuable investment. With its strategic location just outside the city limits of Seguin and approximately 15 miles from New Braunfels, 35 miles from San Antonio, and 60 miles from Austin; Seguin is a thriving Texas town in the heart of central Texas, experiencing rapid population growth and rising popularity. The property is ideally situated to take advantage of the expanding infrastructure and booming economy. As more people are drawn to the area for its convenient access to major highways and proximity to the Austin and San Antonio metroplexes, the demand for land will only continue to rise. With a MMD already in place on the property this offers a great opportunity for a developer or investor alike. TERRAIN: The terrain of Darst Creek Ranch is characterized by gently rolling elevations ranging from 490 to 530 feet above sea level, creating a landscape that offers both diversity and beauty. Dense areas of forest, featuring mature post oak trees, provide a shaded sanctuary for wildlife and an enchanting backdrop for your outdoor activities. In contrast, the open fields allow for ample opportunities for grazing or future homesites and development. This varied topography not only enhances the visual appeal of the property but also creates a rich ecosystem, making it a great ranch for recreational activities. IMPROVEMENTS: Although the ranch is mostly raw land, there are a few improvements that enhance the properties functionality and appeal. A fully fenced perimeter provides security and allows for livestock, if one chooses. Additionally, cattle pens have already been constructed, making it easier to manage and care for cattle, with an open pole barn on the property that not only provides storage for equipment and feed, but also shelter for the livestock. The ranch also has a working water well, which provides a consistent water supply for the animals. WATER: Darst Creek Ranch has two wet weather streams traversing the property, providing natural drainage and seasonal water flow. Additionally, multiple ponds/ tanks are found on the property, offering ample resources for both livestock and wildlife. There is also a working submersible pump well, drilled in 2014, that is approximately 200 ft in depth and yields 40 gpm. The nearest water is an 8 inch Springs Hill water supply line, which is nearly 13,000 LF (approx. 2.5 miles) to the west. WILDLIFE: This 228-acre ranch is teeming with native wildlife, such as whitetail deer, turkey and dove. Wild hogs add to the dynamic ecosystem, creating excellent hunting opportunities year-round. With its rich landscape, nice surface water and mature trees, the ranch serves as a retreat for native wildlife, offering a great mix of tranquility and adventure for anyone who loves to nature- watch or hunt.
