MID-APRIL PROPERTY UPDATE—NEW LISTINGS AND MORE!

NEW! Norco Ranch NW is the northern, 90-acre portion of the 200-acre Norco Ranch West, also listed and shown on this website, near the headwaters of the Blanco River. The site fronts on paved RM 1888 midway between Luckenbach and Blanco and is just 20+ miles from sizzling Fredericksburg. The land rolls gently from the highway down to the river, with nearby views of rugged, protected hills that cannot be built upon due to the Conservation Easement in place on this and adjoining lands. The river ownership includes almost a quarter-mile of both sides of the clear, flowing stream, which is lined with monster oaks, cypress, and sycamores. Small holes, riffles, falls, and even dinosaur tracks are features of this charming body of water.

FEATURED! 522 Ranch is a versatile and rugged property that captures the essence of the Hill Country, featuring rolling hills, wooded canyons, scenic ridgelines, and natural features. The land has been thoughtfully developed with a network of roads and trails that provide easy access across the entire acreage, making it ideal for recreational use, game management, or future development. The property’s established infrastructure, combined with its natural beauty and seclusion, creates an outstanding canvas for a weekend retreat, private hunting property, or future cabin site.

REDUCED! Creek View Ranch boasts a lovely Hill Country–style main home spanning 3,000± sf, featuring three bedrooms and two-and-a-half bathrooms. Beautiful landscaping, gardens, and fruit trees surround the home.

Steeped in rich family history dating back to the early 1800's, this scenic 125 Ac ranch is part of a larger ranch deeded in 1837 from Sam Houston in a Bounty Deed to current owner's family member. From the time you enter the front gate, venture through rugged areas, see the old rock fence, to the panoramic views, you feel as if you've gone back in time. Located between Llano and Fredericksburg in the small historic Oxford area, this ranch is being offered for sale for the first time. The stagecoaches came through this area, which was a north/south route, and stopped for water at their original hand dug well. Improvements include a fully furnished cozy hunting cabin, a spacious 4/2 home, several older metal barns/sheds, a new 2000 SF insulated metal building/garage/workshop that has housed a 36' RV, 3 deer blinds and feeders. A good well along one of the many wet weather creeks, services the ranch, and an old hand dug well and a beautiful spring, which current owners have never seen dry, are on the ranch for future water needs. The hunting cabin was built in the late 1800's or early 1900's, then the main house was built in the 1940's. Originally a 2/2 home, 2 more bedrooms, another bath, utility room and back porch were added in the early 1980's, and it has been nicely updated from 2016 to present. This is an excellent hunting area, with minimal hunting on contiguous ranches, so it's a hunters' paradise for whitetails, aoudads, hogs and much more. Come take a look at this historic ranch, and you'll want it for your own. The brother's contiguous 125 Ac is also for sale, so buy both for an excellent family compound!
