    .Inherited 57 acres from my dad, which is where he and my grandfather grew up.Built a new home here 12 yrs ago. Bought another 30 from my Uncle. Year round beatiful creek. Whitetail, Axis, few turkey and now hogs. In the hill country. Still pinch myself at least once a week. Aunt and uncle inherited the rest, But I farm and ranch all of it. 250 acres. Cows and farm land. Its a lot o work, but the place pays for itself(for the most part)

Wanted to buy while we are young to have later on when we really have the $ to put into it. For now I will get it fenced by the end of the summer and hunt it until we do something like a cabin or finish out a metal building.
          should do the fence now!...it's awesome weather!

            Found 50 acres just west of Leakey on RR 337 just last June. Been doing all kinds of things to make it easier to visit, like electricity, sewer, water well, concrete the barn etc. Wildlife was already there, love it, can't wait to hopefully move there and slow down just a bit. Find something and go for it, life too short not to do it while you can still enjoy it. It doesn't have to be the Ponderosa, just something to call your own. Good luck.

                I hear you Bruce but funds are preventing it. Trying to save some up. 2012 was a bad year for un expected expenses.

                    I thought same too, but depending on type of land it can be easier then you think. All I bought finding the right leasers and or share cropers.

                      Just bought 200 acres and got 20 yr fixed through farm credit. Heed the word above on the expenses The feeling of knowing that I will never have to lease hop again is enough for me! I regret nothing about the whole process!

                              I just bought a "starter" property of 9 acres.

                              If after we get the house built the 6 acres beside it is still available, I will buy it too.

                                Where did you come across the land for sale in Leakey....nice area. The hill country would be our dream place to have. Thanks.
