Hidden Valley lies within a flat valley among immediately surrounding hill country. This land was once a portion of a historic ranch given by the state of Texas to Jose Maria Espinosa (Jose Maria Espinosa, survey A, 227), part of Colonel Juan Seguin’s company, who received the land for his service to Texas in the Texas Revolution of 1836. The beauty of the area is stunning in the spring and summer with adjacent green, treed hills, a quiet valley, and large properties surrounding giving a peaceful setting for the equestrian, rodeo cowboy or cowgirl, retiree, or person desiring a quiet place to own and rest.

The surrounding area of the property is mostly larger ranch and improved pastureland, but one well maintained home immediately borders the parcel on the hill that is mentioned. This property was fenced completely in 2022 with “goat wire” and one barb on the bottom and the top, pipe corners, and at bends in the fence. There are other gate entries at the back of the property to the spring and on the south and east to the creek border. A small part of the total 142.63 acres is wooded along the creeks and to the back (north). Trees are sparsely scattered in the open land and excellent whitetail, turkey, and small game animal hunting possibilities exist. The double deer stand will be removed before sale. A dry, seasonal creek borders one long side of the land and a second creek adjoining the first creek is a partial boundary. There is a spring in a feeder creek located in the back wooded section of the property that continued to run during the last extreme drought. Coastal Bermuda hybrid grass is present and Giant Bermuda hybrid (NK-37) was seeded on the property in 2023 and overseeded again in 2025. The land, excluding the wooded areas, was cleared of brush and scrub areas, raked, and cultivated multiple times prior to seeding in 2023. Five tons per acre of compost was applied in 2022 for fertility and maintaining organic eligibility.
The property is eligible immediately for USDA NOP organic certification and seller will sign prior land use affidavit affirming no prohibited substances have been applied for over 3 years. The property is a combination of sand, sandy loam, and loam soils mostly with an elevation rise, including some few acres of rocky soil, to a hill (off property) with an excellent home or barn building site on a flat rock shelf overlooking much of the property. The land is mostly a class I with less than 2% slope. The location has one stock tank (not stocked or known to be stocked) which was cleaned and reworked in 2022 and maintains good water levels during the last drought. The location has one well, well house, and adjacent meter (active power), but power is not connected to the well at this time. The well was reworked by a local well company and includes a new pump and is shallow similar to existing wells on adjacent low land properties.
Few properties for sale exist currently within Erath County of this size which are largely open, grassy, and have good soil with the beauty that exists in Hidden Valley.
