O5 Ranch is a 105± acre Hill Country property located north of Hondo in the gated Brown Ranch subdivision. Known for its scenic views and quiet setting, the ranch offers improved land, comfortable living accommodations, and excellent recreational opportunities. Its location provides convenient access to Hondo, Tarpley, Bandera, and the Frio River area.
Improvements
Built in 2001, the approximately 1,800-square-foot home features three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and an open-concept living area. Wood and tile flooring run throughout the home, and a new air-conditioning system was installed in 2024. The headquarters also includes several barns, sheds, and livestock pens that provide ample space for animals, equipment, and storage. Nearby is a 16’ x 50’ insulated and air-conditioned building currently used as an office.
Land
The owner has worked extensively to improve the ranch by selectively removing cedar while preserving the live oak trees. Approximately 70% of the property has been cleared of cedar, allowing native grasses to become reestablished and improving both the appearance and usability of the land. Selective prescribed burning has been used to promote native grasses to grow.
Water
An Edwards Aquifer water well supplies the residence, office, livestock pens, and multiple water troughs throughout the headquarters area.
Wildlife
O5 Ranch offers excellent Hill Country hunting and wildlife viewing. Native wildlife includes white-tailed deer, turkey, wild hogs, dove, quail, gray foxes, coyotes, and other varmints. Occasional free-ranging exotics also pass through the area. The ranch is currently under a wildlife exemption.
Summary
O5 Ranch is a well-rounded Hill Country property offering a comfortable home, useful ranch improvements, dependable water, improved grazing, and strong wildlife habitat. Its gated location, scenic setting, and convenient access to nearby Hill Country destinations make it well suited for a permanent residence, weekend retreat, or recreational ranch.
