A massive resort-style luxury ranch estate is up for sale in the Hill Country for those who can cough up $9.9 million. Located just north of San Antonio at 188 Specht Road, it offers secluded opulence and country living while still being only 15 minutes from FM 1604.
“Properties with this level of improvements and acreage are increasingly difficult to find this close to San Antonio,” said Perry Donop, listing agent with West and Swope Ranches. “What makes 188 Specht Road especially compelling is its versatility. It can continue as an exceptional private estate and event property, but there is also significant potential for an owner with a larger vision for the property.”
The possibilities for the property are vast. At 67 acres, it covers a large swatch of land available for a variety of purposes, including agricultural use. The sale comes with cattle, a tractor, a Bobcat, two Kubota UTVs, feeders, feed shack, chicken coop, and livestock facilities. Aspiring farmers/ranchers will have a solid start.

All this can be yours for $9.9 million.
However, the property is also perfect for event spaces. The barn is 1,250 square feet of climate-controlled space complete with full audio/video setup. There is also a 2,300-square-foot covered event pavilion complete with outdoor kitchen facilities, as well as a wedding grove that seats 200.
Oh, there is also a stone jail on the property.
The main ranch house was built in 1890, but restored in 2018 with modern amenities and touches. At 2,160 square feet, the three bedroom/four bath home is sizable, but the two-story main house dwarfs it. Casa Grande is over 5,000 square feet of luxury with spa-style bathrooms, chef's kitchen, custom closets, and covered porches overlooking the resort-style pool.
“The amount of infrastructure already in place gives the next owner options that would be difficult and time-consuming to recreate from the ground up,” said Kirk Moody, listing agent with West & Swope Ranches. You have a luxury residence, multiple guest accommodations, event facilities, significant storage and recreational land, all within easy reach of San Antonio. Whether someone sees this as a family compound, hospitality concept, or longer-term investment, there are several directions they can take it.”
