Pipe Creek, TX 78063(Kerr County)

Description: Located in Kerr County, Wise Ranch is a classic Hill Country property situated on the original Bandera to Boerne stagecoach road. Wise Ranch improvements include a 2 bedroom 2 bath ranch home, a restored historic barn and stables complete with large workshops and storage areas as well as a restored stagecoach station house which has been transformed into an office with a half bathroom. In addition to other ruins, Wise Ranch has many historic and prehistoric American Indian archeological sites dating back approximately 8000-9000 years. Wise Ranch is the real thing- a traditional Texas historic ranch. The Ranch offers great variety of terrain including cleared and well-manicured horse paddocks to heavily wooded and rugged terrain along three live creeks, Bear Creek, Chinaman Ditch Creek, and Hog Hollow Creek. Views from the northern end of the ranch overlook the Bear Creek valley with hills in all directions. Native Texas trees are abundant throughout including Live Oak, Walnut, Cherry, Spanish Oak, and some Maples along the creek. A great road/trail system winds thru though the ranch along Chinaman Ditch Creek offering excellent hiking, biking, and horseback riding. One can hear the sounds of nature as its best. Waterfalls are found on all of the creeks at Wise Ranch during the wet times. At the end of the trail you will find the pavilion overlooking Bear Creek, which has been dammed and offers excellent swimming and fishing. The untouched wild feel of the West end of the Ranch is ideal for wildlife and is home to many species including deer, wild hog, and turkey. Located near Pipe Creek and under an hour to San Antonio, the Wise Ranch offers year round recreation and enjoyment for those seeking their own private retreat in the Texas Hill Country but still within easy driving distance to everything a major city has to offer.

Wildlife: Deer, hogs, quail, turkey and dove are healthy and abundant.

Water: The ranch has one water well and three creeks. The Bear Creek is a live creek, Chinaman Ditch Creek and Hog Hollow Creek are seasonal and spring fed.

Improvements: A hay barn built in the late 1800s has been converted into a 1,974 sq/ft home. The home has 2 bedrooms - 2 bathrooms and has modern amenities with updates that you would find in much newer structures. An office is located outside of the main house and was the original Boerne to Bandera Stage Coach Station. This historic little structure could be modified into a very comfortable guest cottage with little effort and expense. Horse barns, a shop and equipment shed are all in place.

Remarks: The Wise Ranch is breath-taking and worthy of an appointment to see today. The horse enthusiast, hunter and fisherman will be right at home here. The ranch is ideal for the weekend retreat or being under an hour into town, the daily commuter to San Antonio.

Minerals: Exact mineral conveyance to be determined at time of new title commitment.
