Rare opportunity to acquire 248 +/- acres in the Willow City area, less than 12 miles from Main ST, 1700+ foot of frontage on HWY 16 plus access to the western portion of the property from Weidenbach Rd (privately maintained, paved road). Very diverse soil conditions ranging from sandy loam/heavy clay/ caliche with very little rock. Some coastal bermuda pasture is already in place but much more could be added to increase carrying capacity of cattle and there are multiple areas for the horse enthusiast to construct an arena without having to bring in soil. Approximately 15 acres near the western portion is high fenced and planted in grapes and part of the highway frontage also had grapes but have been removed due to age and attrition, infrastructure is still in place for irrigation and trellis. There is outstanding potential for several ponds to be installed along the southern boundary where a draw carrying a significant amount of runoff transverses the property from the west to the east. The home on the property is certainly very livable but needs updating, nice setting with post oaks. Pool, detached garage, even sml greenhouse. There are multiple sites for a new home, one of those has great views, electric in place and two of 5 wells right there. Three of the wells are permitted for irrigation, wells range from 30-100 GPM! Located near the vineyard is a 2600 SF metal building for equipment & supplies. Corrals & working pens. Property also has several access points along Weidenbach Rd (a paved private road) via an easement giving you an easy route to those home sites with views and the western portion of the ranch. About half of the southern boundary just received a new fence.

At the heart of the ranch lies a custom two-story home, built in 2008 designed by Tony Martin. The thoughtfully designed residence offers a seamless blend of rustic elegance and modern comfort, featuring a primary suite and guest quarters on the main level, along with a wine cellar, media room, and a sunroom that captures sweeping views. The upper level welcomes you with a grand dog trot entrance leading into an open-concept kitchen and living area, as well as a well-appointed den/study. Warmth and craftsmanship are evident throughout, with four interior fireplaces, Tennessee hewn timbers, reclaimed pine and oak finishes, and extensive custom rock masonry both inside and out. Multiple covered porches overlook the breathtaking Hill Country landscape, perfect for entertaining or quiet relaxation. For guests, a separate two-unit bunkhouse compound offers accommodations for 10+ people, complete with an in-ground swimming pool, outdoor living area, central HVAC, rustic fireplace, Franklin stove, and a full kitchen. A six-bay barn on a concrete slab provides ample storage, a workshop, and space for ranch equipment and vehicles. Also, located between the main house & guest houses is a rustic stone pergola taking in the impressive views & wildlife. Land & Water: The land is a beautiful mix of open pastures and wooded areas, thoughtfully managed with selective cedar clearing to promote native grasses and mature hardwoods including oak varieties, post oak, cedar elm and many other native species. The topography features gently rolling terrain, dramatic rock outcroppings, and panoramic views of the surrounding countryside. Water resources are a standout feature: two ponds, a concrete-dammed, spring-fed creek (Big Branch), and the presence of a rare dry-stacked stone wall along much of the western boundary add both function and character. The property is perimeter fenced and capable of supporting livestock. Rainfall on the main house is collected and piped down to the pond off the back side of the house. Conservation: This property is protected by a conservation easement, ensuring that its natural habitats, scenic vistas, and ecological value are preserved in perpetuity, while still allowing for private use and enjoyment.

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.
