Property Description
57+ acre Legacy Ranch encircled by protected Greenbelt! Ideal for investment, custom home sites or preservation. Rare opportunity in the heart of San Marcos. 1750 Craddock Ranch offers a unique opportunity to own a piece of Central Texas Hill Country surrounded on ALL sides by Purgatory Creek Natural Area. This protected greenbelt is part of the larger San Marcos Greenbelt Alliance trail system and ensures the property will maintain its natural charm for years to come. Great drone footage of this beautiful Ranch on the virtual tour! Ag-exemption allow for exceptionally low taxes and low cost of ownership. Ranch features 2 homes (2bed/1bath each), multiple out-buildings, cattle shoots, fencing, and stock tank. The landscape features a combination of wide-open pastures, mature woodlands and wet-weather creeks. Civil Engineering report, environmental study, and recent ALTA survey are available in the documents section.

Secondary address is 1661 Valencia Way. Access is via private easement through park. Property has 2 long-term tenants to cover taxes and ranch management. (HCAD PIDs R18829 / R85397).
