Silverdale Ranch is an exceptionally rare, legacy ranch property conveniently on the North side of Wimberley. Highlighted by its expansive 10-mile views, nearly 4,500 of hardwood lined creek, 42 acres of productive fields, great frontage and an attractive 3,200 sqft farmhouse, Silverdale Ranch has all the bones of a real showplace. As a package Silverdale stands out from the rest by allowing the next owners to take the ranch to the next level by developing the live water, potential vineyards or building a dream home on the high point overlooking the Wimberley Valley.

Land & Habitat

The ranch is slightly rectangular in shape with Mt. Sharp Rd. to the West and Lone Woman Mountain to the Northeast. Elevations range from 1,060 along the creek to 1,260 above sea level on the hilltop. There are several amazing home sites on top of the hills with 10 mile views over the Wimberley Valley. It is not overly-improved, allowing a buyer to make it their own and add considerable value the property. Unique to Wimberley, the ranch contains approximately 42 acres of fields for potential vineyards, hay production or wildlife food plots. Habitat varies across the ranch from mixed oaks and elm hardwoods, juniper hillsides and open pastures in the bottom.

Water

The property comes with 100% uncontested water rights. A private water well serves the home and barns, and there is a windmill at the cattle pens with a 2,000 gallon holding tank.

Creeks & Ponds

A hardwood lined seasonal creek flows through the NW part of the ranch for over 2,000, and continues for approximately 2,500 down the SW boundary. The creek has two old dams which backup pools of water and offers tremendous opportunity for recreational development.

Two small ponds are centrally located in the ranch providing water to livestock and wildlife. There is ample watershed to create a much larger water feature adding to the uniqueness of the ranch.

Home

The 3,200 sqft farmhouse was tastefully remodeled in 2004 and comfortably fits the area. Craftsmanship and quality are seen throughout the home. The home features three downstairs bedrooms, two baths, two living areas, a great kitchen and two large bonus rooms upstairs. The home has all the features of a modern farmhouse such as hardwood floors, shiplap walls, bead-board ceilings, hardwood cabinets and wood-wrapped doors and windows. Wood burning masonry fireplaces are located in both living rooms and in the master bedroom. Guests can relax under the oaks on the large stone patio and enjoy the beautiful custom in-ground swimming pool.

In addition to the main home, there are two cabins on the ranch that could be used for Air B&B, guest quarters or ranch employees. The larger of the two cabins is a two bed, one bath with a full kitchen. These improvements could be ready to rent with little touchup.
