Situated in the heart of the Texas Hill Country, just south of San Marcos, Purgatory Bend Ranch South offers 641± acres of unmatched natural beauty and conservation-focused land ownership. This private, sustainably managed property is a rare opportunity to own a legacy ranch with diverse landscapes, panoramic views, and excellent accessibility to Austin, San Antonio, and Houston. Topography, Rangeland & Habitat: The ranch features dramatic topography with 100 feet of elevation change, ranging from 850' down to 750' above sea level. Towering live oaks, lush native grasslands, seasonal canyons, and hardwood-lined ridges create a vibrant habitat for both wildlife and people. Purgatory Creek winds through the northern portion of the property, enhancing its scenic and ecological value. Purgatory Bend Ranch South boasts outstanding "pasture appeal," thanks to an array of mature live oaks (many adorned with Spanish moss), cedar elms, native grasses, and the dramatic bluffs of Purgatory Creek. The terrain is highly varied, offering open uplands, wooded draws, and deep canyons. This diversity supports rich wildlife habitat and stunning view corridors throughout the property. Improvements: -1 windmill operated well and 1 electrical submersible well, both with either trough or natural water catchment for wildlife use. -Existing roads, fencing, water delivery, pens and electrical service.
