Shadow Oaks Haven is a 10.86 acre farm and recreational property in Wilson County, Texas - a quiet, low-traffic corner of South-Central Texas with no light pollution and clear, uninterrupted views of the night sky. The property has served as both a homesite and working farm, and is equally suited for horses, recreational use, or a private country residence. A freshly remodeled manufactured home, two working barns, multiple storage sheds, an above-ground pool with a decked outdoor entertaining area, solar panels, a private water well, and dual fencing make this a genuinely functional country property at an accessible Wilson County price point.
The property fronts County Road 436 with 534 feet of road frontage in Wilson County - a location that balances genuine rural character with reasonable proximity to South Texas cities. Seguin is 16 miles away, New Braunfels is 31 miles out, San Marcos is 38 miles, and San Antonio is within 43 miles. The I-10 corridor, the Guadalupe River recreation area, and the broader San Antonio metro are all within comfortable reach, making Shadow Oaks Haven a practical choice for buyers who want to live in the country without being far from it.
The 2,240 sq ft single-story manufactured home offers 4 bedrooms, a bonus room, and 2.5 bathrooms across a spacious, well-appointed floor plan with two living rooms and a dedicated fireplace. The interior has been substantially remodeled within the past year: new countertops, sinks, faucets, and toilets in all three bathrooms; a new shower and freestanding claw-foot tub in the primary bath; new countertops and sink in the kitchen; and new flooring throughout the bathrooms, kitchen, and utility room. New outlets and switches and recessed trim lighting have been installed throughout the home. A large walkin pantry with custom wood shelving adds meaningful storage to the kitchen. A covered patio extends the living space outdoors.
A 12'x24' above-ground pool with a sand filter provides a private outdoor retreat. The adjacent pool deck - a 20'x24' wood-surface platform finished with artificial turf - creates a clean, low-maintenance outdoor entertaining space.
Working infrastructure on the property includes a 24'x36' pole barn suited for equipment storage and a 25'x10' livestock barn with water connected directly to the structure - a practical setup for horses or other animals. Three additional sheds provide supplemental storage across the property. Pipe fencing runs along the CR 436 frontage, with two sections of low-fenced cross fencing dividing the acreage.
The property operates on two independent water supplies: the home is served by CSWR water service, while an electric water well with a well house supplies outside water for the property and livestock. The home is equipped with solar panels, reducing utility overhead, and a 30-amp RV electric connection is on site. The water heater runs on propane. All major appliances currently operate on electricity, though the stove and dryer both have capped propane connections in place - a useful option for a buyer who prefers gas appliances. The HVAC system (air handler and condenser) was replaced in 2019.
The 10.86 acres are predominantly flat to gently level, with sandy ground and a natural understory of scattered live oaks and native oak trees that provide shade, character, and a genuine sense of place. The landscape is open and usable - well suited to horses, livestock, or recreational purposes - with cross fencing already dividing the acreage and pipe fence securing the highway frontage. Wilson County's rural setting delivers true dark-sky conditions at night, with no surrounding light pollution to compete with the stars. Native wildlife present on the property includes whitetail deer, turkey, dove, quail, and hogs.
Both a homestead exemption and an agricultural exemption are in place. The following items are excluded from the sale: the propane tank (leased), livestock feeders and troughs, washer and dryer, and the freezer and refrigerator in the utility room. Shadow Oaks Haven offers a rare combination of a move-in-ready, freshly updated home, functional farm infrastructure, and a quiet Wilson County setting - all within an easy drive of the San Antonio and New Braunfels metro corridors.
