Legacy Turfgrass is a 352 +/- acre commercial sod farm in northeastern Atascosa County, offering a rare opportunity to acquire a productive agricultural operation with major infrastructure already in place. Located near the Atascosa, Bexar, and Wilson County lines, the property has frontage on FM 536, a paved and maintained road, and is positioned approximately 2 miles from IH-37, 2 miles from U.S. Highway 281, under 11 miles from Pleasanton, and roughly 20 to 25 miles southwest of downtown San Antonio. This location provides a distinct freight and delivery advantage for serving residential, commercial, landscape, and development-driven turf demand across South Texas. The property carries a long agricultural history dating back to 1853, when Gustave Toudouze, a French scientist, left a promising career as a collegiate professor in France to raise a family and pioneer a homestead on the rich prairie lands of South Texas. Known for his vegetable gardens and orchards, his love of the land and determined innovation helped lay the groundwork for more than five generations of Texas farmers. Over the last 160 years, the land has produced wheat, corn, peanuts, and now turfgrass. The farm is currently set up for large-scale sod production, with approximately 210 acres under pivot irrigation and an estimated annual sod yield of 18,720 pallets under normal circumstances. Existing production includes approximately 165 acres of Tif 419 bermudagrass. The property is licensed for Latitude 36, NorthBridge, Empire Zoysia, and Geo-Zoysia, giving an incoming buyer access to desirable turf varieties with established market appeal. Additional upside includes approximately 15 acres under pivot irrigation available for potential planting, along with 70-plus acres with irrigation access for future production opportunities. Water is one of the defining strengths of this property. The farm has two existing Carrizo Aquifer wells, with one main producing well currently capable of approximately 1,200 GPM. The second well is present but would require re-working to bring it back online. Irrigation is delivered through 4 electric Valley pivot systems, supported by 3-phase/480v electricity and over 2,300 feet of underground PVC irrigation pipe ranging from 10-inch to 8-inch to 6-inch pipe. Waterways are already in place for drainage, and the soils are primarily sandy-based, with sandy loam and some red clay well-suited for turf, hay, and grazing operations. In addition to sod production, the property includes 50-plus acres of established coastal Bermuda used for hay production and grazing, adding another practical income stream or support component to the operation. Improvements include a 30x60 custom-built metal shop/office building constructed in 2017 on a 5-inch concrete slab, with electric service, a 16x12 sliding door, and a 12x12 roll-up garage door. The property also includes three power meters, a substantial amount of farm and turfgrass implements, a cabin for crew accommodations, and two additional cabins suitable for office or guest use. Located within the McCoy Water Supply Corporation service area, with 3-phase/480v electric already extended to the property, Legacy Turfgrass offers the utility and operational framework needed for continued production. The property is Ag exempt, helping keep carrying costs low. Beyond its production value, the property has classic South Texas appeal with large oak trees, native cover, and abundant wildlife. A wildlife management program has been maintained since 2010 for preserving, increasing, and managing wildlife, with hunting opportunities for deer, dove, quail, turkey, and feral hogs. For a buyer seeking a working sod farm, expansion platform, or income-producing land asset near San Antonio, Legacy Turfgrass delivers a compelling mix of history, water, irrigation infrastructure, licensing, equipment, access, and long-term agricultural opportunity.
