Originally part of the historic Chapman Ranch (which was once part of the famous King Ranch), this 237.70 acre ranch is beautifully unique, with a 26 acre lake, a 12 acre pond, two smaller ponds, and almost a mile (4,462 ft.) bordering Petronilla Creek. The creek forms the entire west boundary and most of the southern boundary of the ranch. South of the creek is the King Ranch. The large lake is over 20 feet deep in areas, is uniquely shaped with beautiful peninsulas and inlets, is large enough for water skiing, floats, small boats and jet skis, and is great for kayaking and other water activities. The lake contains bass, other fish and turtles, and is regularly utilized by migrating ducks, sandhill cranes, roseate spoonbills, and a large variety of other birds. The ranch has a large, grass-manicured and irrigated area that borders the lake, with a large beautiful pool, with waterfall, near the lake. There are seven fenced pastures, an 8-stall horse barn, with tack and feed rooms and sprayer system (approx. 2900 sq. ft.) and a large working-storage barn, with tool rooms and a bathroom (approx. 2600 sq. ft.). These steel Barnmaster barns were built in 2004 at a cost of almost $300,000. The entire ranch is high-fenced and is home to a wide variety of exotic animals (zebras, elands, llamas, deer, antelope, oryx, addox, buffalo).

The original main residence was removed in anticipation of building a new home. The remaining concrete slab could be used for new construction. A 2432 sq. ft. Palm Harbor home is nestled next to the main lake and can serve as a primary residence and/or eventual guesthouse. It has four bedrooms, front and back wood decking and porches and landscaping with its own sprinkler/irrigation system. The water well is over 950 deep, with booster pumps and water storage tank.

The ranch is located 20 minutes south of Corpus Christi, Texas in Nueces County (20 minutes from Corpus Christi International Airport). It is 30 minutes to Padre Island and the Gulf of Mexico (beaches, fishing, etc.). It is 2.5 hours to San Antonio.

THIS UNIQUE AND BEAUTIFUL RANCH IS PRICED TO SELL AT $1,930,000.

NOTE: The lake/pond levels have been affected by the recent unprecedented drought.
