DESCRIPTION

An exceptional opportunity in one of the Hill Country’s most sought-after pockets, this property offers the perfect blend of accessibility and quiet seclusion. Located just a short drive from Fritztown and the ever-expanding Texas Wine Corridor, it’s ideally positioned for both enjoyment and long-term value. The main residence is thoughtfully situated to capture sweeping, long-range views, while a well-kept, heritage-inspired guest home, originally built in 1975, provides a private space for family, guests, or potential rental income. With ownership of both sides of wet-weather Snake Creek, enhanced by a dammed pond, along with functional improvements and a landscape defined by native pasture and mature hardwoods, the property invites you to hunt, fish, unwind, and fully embrace the Hill Country lifestyle.

Location & Access
Set in a highly desirable area of the Hill Country, this property delivers a rare combination of privacy and convenience. Fredericksburg and the renowned Texas Wine Corridor are just minutes away, offering easy access to wineries, dining, and shopping. Despite its proximity to these attractions, the setting remains peaceful and tucked away. The property features paved county road frontage, an automatic entrance gate, and quality livestock fencing already in place.

Landscape & Improvements
Perched atop one of the area’s more scenic elevations, the main home enjoys expansive hilltop views from the massive back porch that stretches for miles, creating a sense of openness and tranquility. The land showcases a classic Hill Country blend of native pasture, gently rolling terrain, and mature hardwoods. In addition to the primary residence, a separate, well-maintained guest home with a heritage-inspired, Hill Country chic feel offers flexibility for extended stays, guests, or income-producing use. The positioning of both homes allows for privacy while maintaining a cohesive and functional layout. With no known restrictions, the property is well-suited for short-term rental opportunities.

Water
A defining feature of the property is wet-weather Snake Creek, which includes both sides and feeds into a professionally constructed, dammed pond. Designed to hold water year-round under typical conditions, the pond enhances both the visual appeal and the practical functionality of the property for wildlife, livestock, and recreation. Supporting improvements include a water well, holding tank, and well houses, are already in place, and piped to service the property.

Wildlife & Recreation
The land supports a thriving population of native and exotic wildlife, including axis deer, making it well-suited for both hunting and recreational enjoyment. Whether casting a line in the pond, walking the back boundary, or simply taking in the views from the porch, the property lends itself to a slower, more intentional pace of life. The current agricultural valuation provides meaningful tax advantages, while a small herd of miniature donkeys adds character and charm, and may convey with the sale.

Summary
A true Hill Country gentleman’s ranch, this property offers a compelling mix of privacy, panoramic views, usable land, water features, and income potential. Whether your goal is a full-time residence, a multi-generational retreat, or a thoughtfully developed rental investment, the foundation is already in place to bring that vision to life.
