DESCRIPTION
Introducing Hidden Ridge Ranch, a remarkable 175± acre Hill Country property located just outside Hondo in Medina County. Defined by its rolling topography, panoramic views, and recent road infrastructure improvements, Hidden Ridge Ranch offers an exceptional opportunity for those seeking a private ranch retreat, recreational property, hunting ranch, or future legacy estate.
Accessed from County Road 4516, the ranch features a newly constructed private road leading to a cleared hilltop homesite where water has already been brought to the building location. From this elevated setting, owners can enjoy breathtaking views stretching across the surrounding Hill Country toward Utopia, Bandera, and beyond. The combination of elevation, mature hardwoods, and usable acreage creates a rare offering in one of the most desirable areas of Medina County.
Fully fenced and ready for immediate enjoyment, Hidden Ridge Ranch provides the ideal balance of privacy, accessibility, and future potential.
Location
Hidden Ridge Ranch is conveniently located less than 10 minutes from Castroville and the renowned Alsatian Golf Club, providing easy access to dining, golf, shopping, and everyday conveniences. Hondo is approximately 20 minutes away, while Bandera, Utopia, and Leakey are all within comfortable driving distance, placing some of the Texas Hill Country's most scenic destinations at your fingertips.
San Antonio can be reached in under 45 minutes, making the ranch equally suited for weekend escapes or full-time country living.
Landscape
The ranch showcases gently rolling to moderately rolling terrain with dramatic elevation changes that create exceptional long-range views. Mature live oaks and native hardwoods are scattered throughout the property, providing shade, privacy, and outstanding wildlife habitat.
The recently cleared hilltop homesite captures some of the finest views on the ranch and offers a premier location for a future custom residence. A blend of open grasslands, wooded draws, and native brush creates a landscape that is both visually appealing and highly functional for recreation, livestock, and wildlife management.
Water
A significant enhancement to the property is the extension of water service directly to the hilltop homesite, providing a valuable head start for future development. This improvement substantially reduces both the cost and timeline associated with constructing a residence or additional improvements.
Improvements
Hidden Ridge Ranch has benefited from thoughtful improvements that enhance both accessibility and usability. A newly constructed private access road provides excellent internal access while leading directly to the prepared homesite. Water has been brought to the hilltop, and the ranch is fully fenced, making it immediately suitable for livestock, recreation, or future residential development.
Road frontage along County Road 4516 provides convenient year-round access while maintaining the property's private and secluded atmosphere.
Wildlife & Recreation
The ranch supports healthy populations of whitetail deer, turkey, dove, and hogs. The combination of rolling terrain, mature hardwoods, native browse, and natural drainage corridors creates excellent habitat and outstanding recreational opportunities throughout the year.
Summary
With a cleared hilltop homesite, water already in place, a newly constructed access road, full fencing, and sweeping Hill Country views toward Utopia and Bandera, Hidden Ridge Ranch presents a rare opportunity to acquire a highly improved and build-ready ranch property in a premier Medina County location. Combining privacy, beauty, and convenience just minutes from Castroville, Hidden Ridge Ranch is well-positioned as a family retreat, hunting property, ranch homestead, or long-term investment in the heart of the Texas Hill Country.
