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.

Property Details

OVERVIEW

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.
