Recreational Land with Home for Sale in Columbus, Texas

Skull Creek Ranch is turnkey and ready to use from day one, this is a rare opportunity to own a thoughtfully improved recreational ranch with both immediate enjoyment and long-term upside. At the heart of the property is a 2-acre stocked pond with an island, offering both incredible views and functionality. Bass and bluegill are already established, with fish feeders in place. Overlooking the water, a massive imported stone table from Vietnam creates a one-of-a-kind gathering point for entertaining or relaxing. A Luxury Safari Tent by Bushtec Safari, one of the first of its kind in the United States and the second ever built domestically, features 2 bedrooms & 1.5 bathrooms. The outdoor kitchen is fully equipped with a full-size gas grill, flat top griddle, and sink, creating a true indoor-outdoor living experience. An outdoor shower is located just behind the tent, allowing you to clean off after a day in the woods or a swim before heading inside. The land has a rare feel to it, with scattered old-growth live oaks giving the property a clean, park-like setting that is hard to replicate. Miles of established trail systems provide easy access throughout, whether for recreation, hunting, or exploring. A quarter mile of wet-weather Skull Creek runs through the property, adding character and seasonal water. The back pasture is known to flood, creating prime waterfowl habitat. Wildlife is strong, including whitetail deer, turkey, hogs, waterfowl, and native predators. The property is under wildlife exemption, keeping annual carrying costs low. For future expansion, a ~4,000 square foot homesite pad is already in place. Two water wells service the property, and a detached two-car garage adds functionality and storage. All improvements, including the safari tent, pond, garage, road access, and future homesite pad, along with the surrounding improved areas, have been built up out of the floodplain, and a revised floodplain study has been prepared to support this.
