Menard, TX 76859 - Menard County

Just 17 miles south of Menard, Texas, off FM 2291, the 300-acre Oso Viejo Ranch stands as a true reflection of the Northwest Hill Countrys character. With rolling terrain, abundant wildlife, and unmatched privacy, this property is a blank canvas waiting for its next steward.

Wildlife and Terrain

Oso Viejo offers prime habitat for whitetail deer, wild turkey, and hogs, with occasional exotic species making an appearance. The property features gently rolling hills with smaller drainages that flow toward the headwaters of Bear Creek, located just south in Kimble County. At the heart of the ranch, elevation of 2,280 to 2,350 feet provides panoramic views and an ideal spot to take in Hill Country sunsets.

Property Details

The ranch is surrounded by larger, low-fenced properties, ensuring privacy and natural wildlife flow. Fencing is in place on three sides, constructed of net wire with a barbed wire top. The southern boundary remains unfenced, as this parcel will be surveyed from a larger tract.

Electricity is not currently on-site, but two electric lines are visible from the property, making future utility access straightforward. The seller will provide a 40-foot right-of-way easement along the remaining acreage to FM 2291 for access. While this easement does not include an all-weather road, it offers a clear path for entry.

Water Access

For a transitional period of 12 to 18 months, the seller will furnish water to an existing trough for domestic and wildlife use, ensuring immediate water access for new owners. This water is for use as-is and not to be pumped into a surface pond.

The Experience

What sets Oso Viejo Ranch apart is its quiet seclusion and natural beauty. With no streetlights for miles, the evenings are pitch-black, and the sunsets are the kind you can only find in this part of Texas. Whether youre hunting, exploring, or simply unwinding, this property offers a chance to escape the noise and reconnect with the land.
