Description
The Krause Country Estate is your opportunity to escape the
city for the peace and quiet of small-town country living, while enjoying the
mature Live Oak trees that can be hard to come by in this part of South Texas.
Located just South of Swinney Switch the property is comprised of 10± acres
of mostly cleared pasture, Live Oaks,
and a few Mesquite trees surrounding the house. With a modest amount of brush
around the property lines, the Krause Country Estate offers a great mix of
usable land and privacy.
The Land: The
Krause Country Estate is mostly flat with just a touch of roll to it. While the
majority of the property is cleared pasture, there are mature Live Oak trees and Mesquite trees surrounding the house,
and a small amount of brush lining the property boundaries—creating a strong
sense of privacy and seclusion. The soils consist of sandy loam on the West side of the property, with slightly more clay on the East side. There is plenty
of room and potential to plant a large garden and begin your homesteading
journey. The pasture has historically been used for hay production, and a local
farmer is interested in continuing to bale it. The Krause Country Estate offers
ample space for livestock, ATVs, or simply wide-open land to enjoy.
The House: A
modest 1980s brick home is
tucked away toward the back of the property, strategically placed among the
Live Oaks and a few mature Mesquites. The home has been lived in up until
recent months but could use some TLC and updating. The original structure
features 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom,
with an open-concept kitchen and living area. The back porch was enclosed (not
air-conditioned), making any future addition that much easier. With the
enclosed porch, the home is approximately 1,040± sq ft.
A breezeway connects the home to a large 2-car garage, which includes a 15± ft x 24± ft framed room and a plumbed and framed bathroom. This bonus space could be converted
into an in-law suite, utility room, game room, or whatever fits your needs. The
garage features 2 electric garage doors,
a walk-through door, and plenty
of shelving and storage—outside of the framed room. With the bones, septic system, electric
meter, and a residential water
well already in place, the home is ready to be customized to fit your
lifestyle.
Wildlife:
This area of South
Texas is home to a variety of wildlife. On the Krause Country Estate, whitetail
deer and dove frequent the property, giving you the opportunity to hunt on your
own land. Other wildlife like wild hogs and your typical South Texas varmints
may make an appearance from time to time.

Interstate 37, the Krause Country Estate has access from approximately 520 feet of Ranch Road frontage

Additionally, the property is located less
