Mid-April 2026 TRFS Update

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. Three charming one-bedroom, one-bathroom guest homes are spread across the property, each tucked away in its own private Hill Country setting.
