LOCATION: This fine farmstead is located on FM 473 about 3 miles west of prized Sisterdale, an area that is fast-becoming popular due to the abundance of good soil, water and out-of-the-way yet accessible to Boerne and Fredericksburg location. This is 15 miles from Boerne (big box stores, hospital, supplies, shops restaurants), 25 miles from Fredericksburg (world-class shopping, food, entertainment) and only 35 miles from north San Antonio (everything else) and Kerrville. Austin is about 1.5 hours to the east.
The area is comprised of mostly medium to large working/recreational ranches, some renowned showplaces, plus a few scattered smaller tract subdivisions, and has emerged as a premier destination for wine tourists, equine producers and exotic game enthusiasts.

The area is comprised of mostly medium to large working/recreational ranches, some renowned showplaces, plus a few scattered smaller tract subdivisions, and has emerged as a premier destination for wine tourists, equine producers and exotic game enthusiasts. Sisterdale itself is undergoing a renaissance of sorts these days with the resurgence of the old tavern, and re-opening of the dance hall, plus the ongoing attraction of the famed Sisterdale Winery and Vineyard.
WATER: A solid water system, buoyed by 3 good water wells, supplies troughs all over the farm and the dwellings, as well as being able to augment a beautiful one acre pond stocked with fish. One of the wells tested at 225 gpm, the other two at 20 gpm, with depths from 300 to 600. For more information on area groundwater, check with the Cow Creek Groundwater Conservation District at their website or call 830.816.2504.
LAND: This is gently rolling, oak-studded Hill Country land with mostly good soils, easy on the eye and easy to get around on, with little to no rock found anywhere on site. There is about 100 of roll from top to bottom, and a spring fed draw bisects the ranch from west to east.
Most of the ranch has gorgeous cover of mature live oak, post oak, Spanish oak and elm, with little to no cedar or woody shrub undergrowth. This place is a manicured showplace of the first order, but there is enough cover remaining for deer to feel comfortable on the ranch. Accordingly, whitetail deer and turkey are often observed on site, and some axis deer roam the area as well.
IMPROVEMENTS: The centerpiece of this offering is a splendid, European Manor-style stone home with standing seam metal roof, of about 5,700 square feet. This awesome dwelling rests on a nicely landscaped site overlooking the aforementioned lake and grounds. The home includes 4 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, 2 half bathrooms, huge living area and kitchen, formal dining room and several fireplaces. Plenty of windows allow the outside in, and the extras are far too numerous to mention here.
A three car garage has an 1,100 square foot, very nice apartment above it, connected to the main house by an interesting dog trot. The huge yard is fully landscaped and beautiful to stroll through, and a nice swimming pool is nearby, amidst yet another fully landscaped zone. There is even a pitching wedge golf hole!
Other improvements include a nice gated entrance, paved roads throughout, extensive fencing and cross fencing, a nice 8 stall Barnmaster horse barn, pipe pens (lighted), an equipment shed, foremans house, dog runs, a garden barn and a too-cute doll house in the backyard. Some equipment can be included in the sale.
FINANCIAL/TITLE: $1,975,000, cash to Seller, who will provide current survey and basic title insurance. There are no known easements other than normal electrical. Oak wilt has been remediated on this ranch in the past, and is still active in the area. The ranch is located in the Comfort ISD, and 2010 taxes are estimated at $15,200.
