Welcome to the Tres Hermanos Ranch! This +/- 219ac ranch offers many opportunities with an outstanding location. The natural beauty and setting would make an excellent recreational ranch for creating family memories. The location and configuration also offer development opportunities, building, or ranching. Tres Hermanos ranch is a blank canvas for you to paint your dreams! Tucked away in the heart of the Texas Hill Country, Tres Hermanos Ranch, located on Reservation Road near Harper Texas, offers a raw, rolling landscape that blends privacy and beauty. The ranch is easily accessible with approximately 1,800 feet of paved frontage along the popular Reservation Road which connects State Hwy 290 and Fm 479. Having close proximity to Interstate 10 and Hwy 290 makes getting there a breeze from major metropolitan cities in Central Texas. Located just minutes west of Fredericksburg and under an hour and a half from both San Antonio and Austin, this ranch gives you the freedom and opportunity of rural living without sacrificing convenience. Set within the desirable Harper Independent School District and close to the historic charm of Kerrville, Boerne, and the Texas Wine Country, this secluded ranch is ideally positioned for both weekend escapes and full-time Hill Country living. From the moment you leave Highway 290 and turn onto Reservation Road, the property begins to unfold—native brushland transitions into strong rooted native pasture, and clusters of mature oaks. The land is alive with potential and a healthy population of wildlife, especially whitetail deer. Gently undulating terrain and Purves mineral soils make this ranch well-suited for livestock grazing or managing native and exotic wildlife. The current fencing includes three low-fenced sides and one high-fenced western boundary, offering flexibility for agriculture or game management. Dove and whitetail roam freely, while spring wildflowers and native grasses paint the ground each season. Typical for the area, there has been some oak wilt but there is an abundance of healthy live oaks and some very nice post oaks that provide plenty of tree cover. Electric power is in place and there is an older water well (believed to be operable but needs to be verified), giving future owners a head start toward building their hill country home. The property is unrestricted, allowing you to design and construct your dream ranch home, weekend retreat, or operating ranch headquarters on your terms. With an existing agricultural tax valuation in place, the carrying cost remains low while you plan your vision and plan for the future of the land. This ranch is more than a piece of land—it's an opportunity to create something lasting. Whether you seek solitude away from the buzz of a growing city, a place to raise livestock in peace, a recreational sanctuary that can be managed, or a legacy to pass down to the next generation, Tres Hermanos invites you to settle into the rhythm of the Hill Country and make it your own.
