Description

DESCRIPTION: The Diamond J Ranch is made up of 455.59 acres, offering a nice blend of live water, scenic beauty, and high-quality improvements. Bisected by Bullhead Creek, a strong-flowing tributary of the Nueces River, the ranch showcases classic Hill Country character - rolling pastures, wooded creek bottoms, and rugged hillsides. Native pecan and live oak motts line the banks, while native grasses and cedar provide excellent cover for wildlife. With its combination of agricultural production,...DESCRIPTION: The Diamond J Ranch is made up of 455.59 acres, offering a nice blend of live water, scenic beauty, and high-quality improvements. Bisected by Bullhead Creek, a strong-flowing tributary of the Nueces River, the ranch showcases classic Hill Country character - rolling pastures, wooded creek bottoms, and rugged hillsides. Native pecan and live oak motts line the banks, while native grasses and cedar provide excellent cover for wildlife. With its combination of agricultural production, recreational appeal, and comfortable residential improvements, the ranch offers both function and retreat in a private yet accessible setting. LOCATION: Situated about one mile northeast of Vance and seventeen miles southeast of Rocksprings, the Diamond J Ranch fronts both sides of RR 2631 in western Real County, near the Edwards County line. The property lies within the Nueces Canyon region and is easily reached via FM 335 from Highway 41 or FM 336. TERRAIN: Topography ranges from approximately 1,640 feet along Bullhead Creek to around 1,920 feet at the western ridges. The land transitions from gentle rolling pastures near the creek to more rugged uplands offering dramatic views of the surrounding canyons. Soils consist primarily of Dev River Wash and Campwood-Knippa complexes - rocky, well-drained, and ideal for wildlife and livestock management rather than cultivation. IMPROVEMENTS: The primary residence is a single-story lodge of approximately 4,868 sq ft featuring five bedrooms, three and a half baths, a large great room with vaulted ceiling and wood-burning fireplace, formal dining, and a well-equipped kitchen with built-in appliances. Interior finishes include tile and carpet flooring, wood paneling, and textured drywall, with ceiling fans throughout. A covered front porch, enclosed sunroom, and rear patio with a fire pit provide ample outdoor living space. The former in-ground pool has been converted into a rock garden, adding character to the landscaped yard. Nearby are two detached three-car garages-one featuring guest quarters with a full bath-plus a well house, storage facilities, and other ranch infrastructure. The property is fenced and cross-fenced, with pasture roads providing access across the ranch. All structures are in good condition, well maintained, and positioned to take advantage of the scenic surroundings. WATER: Bullhead Creek runs through the property with clear, year-round flow and deep pools framed by sycamore and pecan trees - a rare and highly desirable Hill Country attribute. Additional wet-weather draws supplement the natural water system, and the ranch also benefits from private water wells serving domestic and livestock needs. The combination of surface and ground water resources supports both wildlife and residential use throughout the property. WILDLIFE: The ranch supports a thriving population of white-tailed deer, axis deer, aoudad, blackbuck, antelope, and hogs, along with occasional turkey and other native species. The mix of hardwoods, brush cover, and native grasses creates excellent habitat, making the property ideal for hunting and wildlife management. SUMMARY: Diamond J Ranch represents a rare live-water offering in the heart of the Texas Hill Country - a property where recreation, livestock production, and relaxation converge. With paved access, established infrastructure, and spectacular natural features along Bullhead Creek, the ranch is ideally suited for continued use as a residential and recreational holding or for future family estate development.
