DESCRIPTION: Henry Ranch is a scenic Hill Country property encompassing approximately 810.58 acres of diverse and picturesque land. The ranch offers a balance of recreational appeal and agricultural utility, highlighted by the presence of Bullhead Creek, a clear, spring-fed waterway that meanders through the property. Native pecan groves and stands of live oak line the creek, creating a beautiful and functional habitat for livestock and abundant wildlife. The ranch is perimeter and cross-fenced, with pasture roads that allow easy access throughout. With its mix of rolling terrain, usable bottomland, and live water, Henry Ranch represents an exceptional blend of natural beauty and ranch practicality. LOCATION: The property lies in the far western portion of Real County, about 1.2 miles northeast of Vance, Texas, and 17 miles southeast of Rocksprings. It fronts on both sides of RR 2631 near the junction with FM 335, providing excellent paved-road access. Although legally within Real County, the ranch is more closely associated with Edwards County due to proximity and travel routes. The location offers convenient access to nearby Hill Country communities, including Camp Wood, Leakey, and Rocksprings, while larger cities such as Kerrville, Uvalde, and San Antonio are within reasonable driving distance for supplies, dining, and regional services. TERRAIN: Elevation on the ranch ranges from roughly 1,680 feet in the southeast to nearly 1,960 feet at higher western points. The land exhibits rolling to rough Hill Country topography, intersected by scenic draws and seasonal drainages that feed Bullhead Creek. Portions along the creek lie within a floodplain typical for the area but contribute to fertile soil and lush riparian growth. Soils consist primarily of Pratley Clay Complex near the creek and rocky Real Oplin Complex outcrops on the uplands. The varied terrain creates sweeping views, excellent wildlife cover, and multiple ideal building sites. IMPROVEMENTS: Improvements are situated on the north side of RR 2631 in a well-developed residential compound. The primary residence is a three-level, 2,756-square-foot stone-veneer home featuring five bedrooms and three bathrooms. The first floor includes a living room with a wood-burning fireplace, dining room, kitchen, mudroom, den with a wood stove. The second floor offers two large bunk rooms with a shared full bath, while the lower level includes a small game room. Covered porches and patios provide shaded outdoor living areas, and a detached utility and storage building includes a secure gun room and a walk-in game cooler. A separate foreman's house provides 993 square feet of living area with three bedrooms and two baths, complemented by a detached four-car carport and enclosed storage space. Additional outbuildings include two large equipment sheds (approximately 4,000 sq. ft. and 2,400 sq. ft.), barns, working pens, and feed bins, all well-maintained and functional for ranch operations. WATER: The ranch is bisected by Bullhead Creek, a major tributary of the Nueces River that flows year-round through the property and provides an outstanding live-water feature. Several wet-weather draws also traverse the land. Domestic and livestock water are supplemented by wells serving the residential compound. The live water and riparian vegetation add aesthetic appeal and strong habitat value. WILDLIFE: Henry Ranch supports a thriving wildlife population including Whitetail Deer, Aoudad, Axis Deer, and feral hogs, along with native birds and small game. The varied topography, plentiful water, and wooded creek bottoms make it a prime hunting and recreation property. SUMMARY: Henry Ranch is a premier live-water Hill Country property offering 810 acres of rolling terrain, quality improvements, and exceptional recreational value. Located just outside Vance with paved access and minutes from Rocksprings, the ranch showcases the natural beauty of Bullhead Creek.
