Kerrville, TX 78028(Kerr County)

Water, water, everywhere. Numerous springs bubble up from the ground, feeding streams that eventually flow into Turtle Creek. Several impoundments, including one 5-acre lake stocked with bass, deliver abundant surface water as well as recreational opportunities such as fishing, swimming and paddling. Two water wells with submersible pumps and 2 windmills tap into the groundwater below offering additional water for wildlife or livestock.

Plentiful water means plentiful wildlife. In addition to native white-tailed deer that have been improved by genetic introduction and selective harvest, the high-fenced ranch is home to turkeys, fallow deer (white, chocolate and spotted), axis deer, sika deer, blackbuck antelope and aoudad sheep. Numbering about 200, the elk herd is one of the largest in the Hill County.

The amenities at the Super A were designed to celebrate the outdoors. A spring-fed swimming pool and waterfall, known as The Grotto, is the perfect way to while away warm afternoons and summer evenings. A state-of-the-art outdoors kitchen as well as a large outdoor fireplace and a fire pit set the stage for casual dining with the ultimate ambiance.

The expansive, elevated cherrywood deck that stretches across the back of the main house provides a seamless transition between outdoor and indoor living. The 3-bedroom/3.5-bath house combines native limestone accents, rich wood trim, large windows and high ceilings to create an easy living home that is refined and welcoming. The master bedroom has views of The Grotto and a small spring-fed lake.

In addition, a 3-bedroom/2-bath guest house with a large dining area and great room gives friends and extended family a retreat within a retreat. Everyone can gather on the spacious back porch to watch wildlife graze on the nearby hills.

A large game room, complete with a pool table, Air Hockey, foosball and more, offers indoor fun as well as additional accommodations. A bedroom and kitchen round out the standalone space.

The wildlife infrastructure includes 8 deer blinds, 8 corn feeders, and 6 protein feeders, which will convey with the sale, and a processing barn boasting both a walk-in cooler and walk-in freezer. There are also two equipment barns (40x130 and 25x100), a horse barn with stalls and livestock pens, so it would be simple to add a livestock element or to convert to a livestock operation.
