Description
Simpson Ranches & Land, LLC is proud to present the 1038 Ranch, a well-maintained recreational and cattle ranch located just north of Goliad, Texas. Held by the same family for nearly 100 years, this property reflects generations of thoughtful stewardship and pride of ownership. The ranch features new perimeter net-wire fencing, quality cross fencing, a 15± acre hay field, two excellent ponds, improved grasses, and beautiful mature oak trees throughout. With multiple ideal building sites, this turnkey ranch is well-suited for a permanent residence, weekend retreat, or continued livestock operation. The 1038 Ranch is exceptionally clean, functional, and ready to enjoy.

Location
The ranch is located at 1038 Old Goliad Road, approximately one mile north of Goliad, Texas. It is conveniently positioned 67 miles from Rockport, 100 miles from downtown San Antonio, and approximately 150 miles from downtown Houston, offering both privacy and accessibility.

Improvements
Improvements on the ranch include new perimeter net-wire fencing with galvanized pipe corners and braces, along with mostly new interior cross fencing constructed of five-strand barbed wire. The ranch entrance features a 60-foot-wide recessed gate built with galvanized pipe top and bottom rails and cattle panel infill, allowing trucks and trailers to safely pull off the roadway while opening the gate. Livestock infrastructure includes a covered metal cattle working facility equipped with an Arrowquip 74 Series covered working chute, welded pipe working and loading alley, holding pens with pipe top rails and one gage bull panel construction, and concrete water troughs. Electricity is run to the cattle pens, providing added functionality and convenience. There are a total of five concrete water troughs servicing four pastures, excluding the hay field. Additional improvements include a well house and storage building with electricity, water, and two 50-amp RV hookups; no septic system is currently in place. A well-maintained 15± acre hay field and two established ponds further enhance the functionality of the property.

Equipment to Convey
The sale includes two deer blinds, two deer feeders, and the Arrowquip 74 Series cattle working chute. A John Deere tractor and implements may be purchased separately and are not included in the sale of the ranch.

Water
Water on the ranch is supplied by one on-site water well equipped with a submersible pump, which provides water to the cattle pens and five concrete troughs located throughout the property. In addition to the well, the ranch features two ponds that hold water well. The larger pond measures approximately 2.5± acres when full, while the smaller pond is slightly under 0.5± acre when full. Together, these water sources provide reliable and ample water for both livestock and wildlife.

Terrain & Habitat
The terrain is gently rolling, with elevations ranging from approximately 220 feet above sea level in the northern portion of the ranch to about 170 feet in the southern portion. Located within the Post Oak Savannah region, the property supports a diverse mix of live oak, post oak, blackjack oak, mesquite, and hackberry trees. While Native grasses are present throughout, there has approximately 130 acres of Jiggs Bermuda grass sprigged in the open areas and is well established, promoting optimal grazing. The soils consist primarily of fine sandy loams, with a portion of sandy clay loam in the southeastern area, contributing to the overall productivity of the ranch.

Wildlife
The ranch is low-fenced and has been lightly hunted by the family. Wildlife is abundant and includes white-tailed deer, turkey, dove, and other native species, along with various small game. Since the installation of the perimeter net-wire fencing, the feral hog population has been reduced to virtually none. Two deer blinds and feeders convey with the sale, making this an excellent recreational and hunting property.

Easements
The property is subject only to utility easements, with no other known easements affecting the ranch.

Minerals
The sale includes the surface estate only. According to the seller, there is no current mineral production on the ranch and no active mineral leases.
 
Additional Notes
The property is currently operating under a 1-d-1 Wildlife Exemption. Tax information will be confirmed with the Goliad County Appraisal District.
