Fredericksburg, TX 78624(Gillespie County)

DESCRIPTION: This is the kind of property that makes a great impression on you when you first see it. The land has a clean, well kept, park-like appearance and it is located in a good Texas Hill Country neighborhood not too far from Fredericksburg and Kerrville. And as you spend more time inspecting this land you begin to see its many potential uses. Specifically, approximately two-thirds of the property has moderately rolling terrain, is basically cleared of trees and is comprised of deep fertile sandy loam soil that is ideally suited for an orchard, a grape vineyard, crops, a garden, a flower farm, a golf course or whatever suits your desire. This property has 409.2 feet of frontage on the beautiful Pedernales River with the property boundary line being the middle of the river. There is an antique man-made rock dam built across the river near the midway point of the river frontage. Thus the upstream frontage is on a nice lake created by the dam and the remainder is fast water flowing over a rock bottom. Said dam was constructed in such a way that part of the normal flow of the river was diverted into a sluice on the lake/river frontage for the purpose of providing water power for a mill or machinery of some unknown type, perhaps a cotton gin. Today the sluice stream continues to flow at a snappy pace as shown in the snapshots included in this sale brochure. Also, for your information, the Pedernales River at the point fronting this property is designated as a “non navigable river” by the State of Texas. Accordingly, the public has no legal access to the river thus insuring a greater degree of privacy. In addition to the river there is a picturesque seasonal creek that runs thru this property for a linear distance of 1,200 feet and enters the river near the above described sluice. This creek might be an ideal location for small (2-4 acre) lake if so desired. Toward the back of the property there several ideal building sites with fantastic views of the surrounding countryside. There are reasonable building restrictions that will insure preservation of the present upscale character of the area as well as protect future property values. Access is convenient via an all weather county road that traverses the property for a distance of about 600 feet and dead ends into a large ranch 1.5 miles to the west. The terrain is gently to moderately rolling with elevations varying from 1,710 to 1,770 feet above sea level. The entire property is easily traversable in a two wheel drive vehicle. For the money we believe this is the most attractive offering available in the Fredericksburg-Kerrville-Boerne area of the Hill Country for like kind land. This little ranch is priced right and will be a great investment for the buyer who desires to experience country living at its finest.

WILDLIFE, FISHING, BIRDWATCHING, and RECREATION: An abundance of wildlife including whitetail deer, turkey, dove, quail, birds and varmints of every description are found throughout the area. The fish population in the Pedernales River is reported to be spectacular and includes bass, catfish and perch. The river and the lake formed by the dam are great for fishing, swimming, tubing, kayaking and canoeing. The land is ideally suited for horse riding and hiking as the soil is a deep sandy loam that is virtually free of rocks. Conditions and the opportunity for bird-watching are superb. If you enjoy Mother Nature, flora and fauna, and being outdoors in an unspoiled natural setting, then you will truly be attracted to this fine property.
