Property Description
Welcome to Red Rock Ranch your 55-acre gateway to the country life, just outside of Milano. This property blends sweeping views, meticulous care, and thoughtful design into a turnkey retreat thats ready to enjoy from day one.
As you arrive, a custom front gate opens to a scenic drive lined with stately live oaks, setting the tone for the rest of the ranch.
On the western side, a charming 960 sq. ft. cabin awaitsperfect as a primary residence, weekend getaway, or private guest quarters. Fully equipped with utilities, the cabin offers an open living and dining area, kitchen, full bath, and bedroom. The ceilings are finished in Aspen, the kitchen features marble countertops, and the retro-designed stove and refrigerator add a touch of style. A spacious wraparound deck provides plenty of room for relaxing, cooking out, or entertaining under the stars. Just south of the cabin, a large covered carport accommodates vehicles, equipment, and even an RV or camper, with water, power, and a brand-new septic system already in place.
The northeast corner of the ranch features a thoughtfully designed pond, built by Texas A&M, complete with a wooden dock, fish feeder, and water-well supply to ensure consistent levels. Bulkheaded edges prevent erosion while enhancing access, and a central fountain and shoreline lighting give the pond a serene, park-like feel. The pond is stocked with four different types of fish, making it both beautiful and functional.
For animal lovers, a two-acre high-fenced enclosure is currently set up as a dog run, but it could easily be repurposed for livestock, exotics, or other uses. Inside the pen, a utility shed with electricity and water adds convenience. Multiple sheds across the ranch provide additional storage for tools, supplies, and equipment.
The land itself is a showpiece: rolling terrain with elevations shifting more than 50 feet, dotted with scattered oaks, lush grasses, and a wide variety of trees, including Red Maple, Bald Cypress, Magnolia, Black Oak, and Live Oak. Several elevated hilltops would make stunning homesites, offering panoramic views that stretch northeast for milesperfect for savoring morning coffee on a future front porch. Likewise, there are acres of room for shops, barns, houses, and more with no restrictions. About two-thirds of the property is planted in Texas A&Mdeveloped disease-resistant hay, making it profitable for hay baling.
A second pond lies toward the back of the property, expanding to several acres when full and adding yet another outdoor amenity.
Whether for ranching or recreation, Red Rock Ranch delivers. The property is fully fenced with four gatestwo on CR 331A, one on the west side, and one at the back. Improved Bermuda pasture makes it ideal for cattle or horses, while the abundant local wildlifedeer, hogs, bobcats, and morecreates opportunities for hunting, shooting, ATV adventures, and horseback riding.
The ranch sits on the Carrizo-Wilcox aquifer, known for its high-quality groundwater, with opportunities to lease water rights for supplemental income. The property is also AG exempt, providing valuable tax savings.
Adding to the peace of mind, the ranch is located near a fire station (a benefit for insurance) and has access to 911, Life Flight, co-op water, internet, garbage pickup, and mail delivery.
