DESCRIPTION
Location & Access
Ideally positioned in a most coveted area of the Hill Country, this property offers a rare balance of seclusion and convenience. Just a short drive to Fredericksburg and the prominent Texas Wine Corridor, you’re close to acclaimed wineries, dining, and shopping, while still enjoying the quiet privacy of a tucked-away setting. Access is off a paved, county maintained road and has a separate gate for each of the 2 tracts, making it equally suited for full-time living or a weekend retreat.
Landscape & Improvements
Set atop one of the most scenic rises the area could offer, the main home captures long-range, back porch, hilltop views that stretch for miles, creating a sense of space and calm that’s hard to replicate. The land itself is a classic mix of native pasture, mature hardwoods, and gently rolling terrain.
In addition to the primary home, two separate, heritage-inspired chic guest homes, well maintained and dating back to the 1970s, offer flexibility for extended family, guests, or rental income. Their thoughtful placement allows for privacy between all three dwellings while still maintaining a cohesive property layout. With no known restrictions and a layout suitable for guests, the possibilities for short-term rentals are prime.
Water
A standout feature of the property is both sides of wet-weather Snake Creek, which meanders through the land and feeds a professionally constructed, dammed pond. The pond is designed to retain water year-round under normal conditions, providing both aesthetic appeal and practical value for wildlife, agricultural, and recreational use. Two separate wells service the property with one logically located on each separate tract and piped throughout.
Wildlife & Recreation
The property supports a healthy population of native and exotic wildlife, including axis deer, making it ideal for harvesting and recreational use. Whether it’s quiet mornings watching wildlife, exploring the creek bed or back fence line, or simply enjoying the views from the porch, the land lends itself to a relaxed, purposefully paused lifestyle. The existing agricultural valuation further enhances short-term savings and long-term holding value, and a small herd of miniature donkeys lifts the mood, and may be conveyed with the purchase.
Summary
This is a well-rounded Hill Country Gentleman’s Ranch that checks multiple boxes, including privacy, views, usable land, water features, and income potential. Whether you’re looking to establish a primary residence, create a multi-generational retreat, or develop a short-term rental opportunity, the combination of improvements, location, and natural features will make all of these become a reality.
