Located just north of San Antonio, approximately 15 minutes from FM 1604 and the rapidly expanding Stone Oak corridor, 188 Specht Road is an exceptional 67 acre ranch offering a rare combination of privacy, convenience, and future potential. With frontage along Specht Road and access through an impressive two-story gated entrance near the historic Specht Store, the property is positioned for a wide variety of uses. Designed as a private Hill Country estate, the ranch features multiple residences, an extensive resort-style pool complex, established event facilities, and successful short-term rental accommodations. Beyond its current improvements, the property offers significant long-term upside with potential for continued event operations, hospitality, winery, residential, or commercial development. The current owner engaged Ford Engineering to prepare a preliminary site plan for a proposed 30-acre development plat. A survey and geologic assessment have also been completed and will convey with the sale, providing valuable due diligence for future ownership. Casa Grande serves as the centerpiece of the ranch, offering approximately 5,675 square feet of fully furnished living space. Constructed of native rock and stucco, the two-story residence was designed to complement the surrounding Texas Hill Country while providing luxury finishes throughout. The primary suite encompasses approximately 1,100 square feet with expansive views overlooking the pool, a spa-inspired bathroom featuring porcelain slab finishes, a freestanding soaking tub, oversized walk-in shower, dual vanities, and an extensive custom closet. Private covered porches on both the front and rear of the suite create additional outdoor living space. The main living areas showcase exposed timber beams, native stone walls, oak flooring, and a chef's kitchen appointed with quartzite countertops, custom cabinetry, premium appliances, and handcrafted finishes. An approximately 1,100-square-foot covered outdoor living area includes a wood-burning fireplace, outdoor kitchen, and motorized shades, creating an ideal setting for entertaining year-round. The ranch's resort-style pool complex serves as the centerpiece of the outdoor entertainment areas. The saltwater pool and spa features a waterfall and sauna, extensive stonework, and Pentair IntelliCenter automation. The 1,025-square-foot swim-up cabana includes a full outdoor kitchen, bathroom, outdoor shower, and generous covered seating areas, making it equally suited for private gatherings, large-scale entertaining, or event operations. The entire system was engineered with multiple circulation, filtration, sanitation, and water management systems for efficient long-term operation. Originally dating to approximately 1890, the Ranch House was extensively renovated in 2018 while preserving its historic character. Offering approximately 2,160 square feet, the residence features three bedrooms and four bathrooms with entirely updated mechanical systems, custom finishes, marble accents, tankless water heating, and modern amenities throughout. This is a property built around flexibility. Whether envisioned as a private family compound, luxury event venue, hospitality destination, winery, investment property, or future development opportunity, the existing improvements and infrastructure provide numerous paths for the next owner. Existing wedding and event operations, successful short-term rental accommodations, preliminary development planning, and extensive improvements combine to create one of the most versatile ranch offerings in the northern San Antonio market. The majority of the ranch is currently under agricultural valuation. Existing cattle will convey with the sale, along with a substantial collection of ranch equipment including a tractor, bobcat, two Kubota UTVs, and feeders. Rollback taxes have previously been satisfied for the acreage occupied by the metal buildings
