Property Description
Shepherd Hill Ranch is THE largest parcel of land less than 2 miles to Main Street Fredericksburg. This is your LAST opportunity to acquire a ranch of this size, this close to town. Protected by a conservation easement, this ranch will forever be protected from future development. Located less than 5 minutes to one of the most visited areas in the USA, lies an incredible opportunity to own 734 nicely shaped acres complete with 2 houses, 2 water wells, frontage on two major thoroughfares, shop, barns, and much more! LAND: The Shepherd Hill Ranch is the ideal mix of rolling hills and flat usable ground. Thousands of mature live oak, spanish oak, ash juniper, pecan, and many other hard wood native trees provide beautiful privacy for the ranch. This ranch has 4 beautiful hilltops with named hills (Henke Hill, Schuessler, and Schutezen) with elevations of 1,923, 1,940, and 1,820. A good road system throughout allows you to access all parts of the ranch. In the lower elevations is the great red sandy loam soil Fredericksburg is famous for. This ranch has over 1/2 mile of frontage along Ranch to Market Road 1631, and 415 of frontage along Hwy 16 IMPROVEMENTS: 2 beautiful houses make this ranch turn key ready on day one. The old German Block home was originally built in the early 1900's. It has been re-done with modern day conveniences and is truly a piece of living history. The newer 3 bed, 2 bath home was built in 2014. This home has many "green" features such as solar powered with battery system and elaborate rain water collection system. Very comfortable home with beautiful back porch looking towards hundreds of acres protected by a conservation easement. A functional 3 bay metal workshop with concrete floors and additional outbuildings provide plenty of functional space for your projects and ranching activities. WATER: This 734 acres is well watered with 3 water wells. One well services the houses, the second services the livestock corrals, and the third is on the West side of the ranch servicing an old hunters camp. Well production is 15gpm and 20gpm respectively. There is a small pond of the north side of the hills that catches runoff and holds water the majority of the year. WILDLIFE: Shepherd Hill Ranch has been managed for generations for wildlife and native species to Gillespie county. A healthy population of whitetail deer, Rio grande turkey, bobwhite quail, morning and white wing dove, and much more call the ranch home. Axis deer and wild hogs frequent the property as well. This has to be one of the few ranches in the county with wild bobwhite quail!
