Eleven fully manifolded water wells, three stocked tanks, and buried utilities support 111± acres of managed Coastal Bermuda hay fields, brand-new pipe fencing across the property, and a climate-controlled barn with its own office, workout room, and kitchenette. Native whitetail deer, Rio Grande turkey, dove, and fish round out a property that also carries an agricultural tax exemption. Martin Ranch is a rare combination of Hill Country luxury and genuine working-ranch infrastructure.
