Property 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.
