5 Cow Ranch: 90 Acres, Custom Home & Barn Near Mathis South Texas

Welcome to the 5 Cow Ranch. Yes, of course, there’s a story that goes with that! Enjoy 90 acres of freedom in South Texas. Lovingly cared for and lived on by a meticulous owner for the past 10-plus years, absolutely everything on this ranch is in excellent condition.

The property is approximately 70% improved pastureland, complete with cross-fencing and livestock facilities, with the remaining 30% left in native brush. The cattle here are happy and fat, and deer and turkey are plentiful. They roam freely and are frequent visitors.

The centerpiece of the property is a custom-built, 2,200-plus-square-foot ranch home with three bedrooms, three bathrooms, and a flex room that can serve as an office or fourth bedroom. Custom finishes and features can be found throughout, along with a large, wraparound ranch-style porch. A 40′ x 50′ x 14′ metal shop/barn provides ample workspace and storage. All improvements are supported by a 22 kW backup generator with a propane tank.

The location is very secluded yet easily accessible. Just four miles south of Mathis, this quiet Texas town offers all the basics, plus a surprisingly active downtown with dining, drinks, and occasional live music. Highway 359 and IH-37 are nearby, putting downtown Corpus Christi approximately 30 minutes away and San Antonio about 1.5 hours away.

Lake Corpus Christi can be seen from the deck above the carport, and the state park and boat ramps are just a mile away. La Fruta County Park, on the Nueces River, is adjacent to the property, offering incredible wildlife viewing along miles of horseback-friendly trails.

If you’re yearning for the peace and solitude of a recreational ranch, just sign on the dotted line and come unpack. It’s all here, ready and already operating. If you’re looking for a country setting to call home, you need to see this one. It will not disappoint!
