4029 Seco Valley Road , Utopia, TX 78884(Uvalde County)

In addition to providing habitat for native fish, the lake provides a stopover for waterfowl travelling

along seasonal migration routes.

Bald cypress, catalpa, maple and native trees line the lake, adding texture to the stunning backdrop of

hills surrounding the property. Additionally, a small, irrigated and producing pecan orchard is set to

provide additional shade and privacy along the lake shores.

The ranch and its improvements currently utilize water captured from Seco Creek for irrigation and

household use.

Beyond the park-like creek frontage and orchard, over 160 acres of usable hill country land provides an

excellent mixture of open pastures, pecan bottom, game cover, and oak mots (with live oak, post oak,

and Spanish oak varieties).

Native brush species include mountain juniper, persimmon and assorted other native brush species.

Proximity to Seco Creek provides the ranch with good class 3 soils throughout the majority of the

property conducive to cultivation, grass, and pasture improvement. Native grasses on the ranch are

generally strong and plentiful. From the creek bank, the ranch topography transitions into the hills to

the north with a steady elevation gain to forty feet.

The current owners have practiced fastidious land stewardship practices to include controlled burning,

supplemental wildlife feeding, wildlife habitat management, and brush management which have

optimized native plant and wildlife population balance and health.

The numerous wildlife populating the ranch and surrounding Seco Valley include whitetail deer, axis

deer and fallow deer as well as Rio Grande turkey, white wing dove and hogs.

Currently under wildlife management, the property is fenced on 3 sides. The fencing is in good to

excellent shape with a mix of netting and barbed wire.

The ranch improvements are an entertainers dream. The 7500 square feet barndominium was built

with guests in mind with 5 bedrooms, 3 full baths, and 3500 square feet of living space.

A large kitchen dining area and a stunning and large screened in back porch provide an excellent venue

for gathering with family and friends while taking in the sights and sounds of life in Texas hill country.

An additional 4000 square feet of barn space next to the house provides space for working, storing

large equipment, or entertaining with a capacity to easily accommodate gatherings of up to 50 guests.

The flexible space can be climate controlled, opened up, and configured for catered events with plenty

of room for a dance floor.

Prep for hunting season, dial in your long-range shooting skills, or enjoy friendly competition with

friends at the shooting 350-yard shooting range complete with metal targets and yardage markers.

A large one third acre gravel pit provides an abundant supply of all weather material for roads or other

uses around the ranch.

Apache hill provides an iconic backdrop to the property. Believed to be the location of the last major

battle with Apache Indians in the Texas hill country, this landmark feature is visible from miles away and

will be a reminder to the new owners of Blue Bird Ranch at Seco Falls that they have indeed arrived

home.
