Last week, I listed a very nice home on .96 acres. It's located in the busy, busy (this is a joke!) town of St. Hedwig. Notice the photo below shows the population count at 1875. I would image that the cow ratio to people is much higher! See the post here: 1640 Pittman Road
I went out to show it again yesterday and took some extra photos of the area. Seems every time that I am there the wind is blowing, it's peaceful (you only hear an occasional cow) and the front of the house has a wonderful view. Here are some extra photos of my journey: 
This is as your driving, wide open spaces and beautiful sky!
Some more, dirt roads, farming, ranching and most of the scenes.
This is the ever popular Lubianski Feed Store.
This is the gas station in the area, it reminds me of an old timer's general store.
As you can see bailing hay is where it's at for this land owner.
I pulled some stats for the area, they are as follows:

I love eye candy and I have to say this is a lovely post. Thank you for sharing this information and your gorgeous pictures. Enjoy your evening. Regards, Carolyn. :-)
Howdy Sheila
St. Hedwing sure sound's like a really fine town for folk's to enjoy life.
Sure liked the photos.
This looks like just my kind of place! I love the scenery. AND...you know...cows are great neighbors. They never steal your stuff, and they keep their grass mowed. GBU!!
Howdy Mr. & Ms. Moo Cow. The area does sound very peaceful tho. BTW, how far is this from San Antonio?
Welcome to the group and this is a very nice piece of property and you have given us so much information, thanks!
Robert
Looks like a great place to live in. I am sure the population will increase when more people find out about it.
C- Yes, I know your the eye candy girl!
Dale- Your so right!
Elizabeth-Your right, cows make great neighbors...they will never want to borrow something from you also!
Don- St. Hedwig is like 8-10 minutes outside of SA on the NE side of town.
Robert-Thanks for the group!
Gita- I'm sure it will.
Wow, great information here. Great looking area, and I love the way you laid this all out.
I live in St. Hedwig - have for 11 years. Have to tell you, I am trying to build and the comps have come back 15k light.
Linda,
I'm not surprised. I actually listed the Pittman property in September of '08 and we closed within a couple of months. I haven't re run the numbers lately, but in the least bit surprised....especially when building.
Good luck!
