000 FM RD 1674, Fort McKavett, TX 76841 - Menard County

Description

This ±298-acre ranch offers a rare opportunity to own a well-improved tract within a larger ±1,150-acre high-fenced property on the Edwards plateau in central Texas. As one of three individual ranches inside the high fence, this tract provides privacy, quality infrastructure, and turnkey functionality for recreational use or hunting operations. With RM 1674 frontage and an all-weather road leading directly to headquarters, access is reliable year-round.

At the heart of the ranch is a thoughtfully designed headquarters featuring two finished 16’ x 60’ container homes that were originally built as drill-site housing units, making them both blast- and fire-resistant. Each building includes 2 bedrooms, an open kitchen and living area along with two bathrooms, with one unit housing a washer and dryer and the other equipped with a chest freezer. Covered decks, connecting walkways, and a fenced yard create a comfortable and functional central gathering space ideal for extended stays with family or guests.

Supporting improvements include additional 20 ft. Storage containers, a covered concrete game-skinning area, established wildlife infrastructure, and multiple water sources across the property. Every detail has been designed with usability in mind, creating a ranch that is both practical and enjoyable from day one.
