Redding Ranch - Hidalgo County, Linn, TX
The Redding Ranch is a wonderful opportunity to own a piece of deep South Texas. With many past uses from citrus farming to grazing to an aggregate use this property can do it all. The property is well equipped already with two water wells and a year round pond as well as a large barn for storage. It has a mix of pasture, medium brush and heavier mature brush consistent for the area. It is a short distance from city amenities in McAllen, TX and less than an hour to Port Mansfield to take advantage of the beautiful Texas coast. There are great hunting opportunities with typical south Texas game such as white-tailed deer, Rio Grande Turkey, dove, quail and the added bonus of waterfowl.
