It’s the Perfect Location just minutes from amenities like Pedernales Falls State Park, Good Texas Dance Halls, a Real grocery store, restaurants and WINE, WINE and more WINE with vineyards and tasting rooms just minutes west of the Ranch. Fredericksburg’s wine region LBJ State Park and Fast Growing Dripping Springs are all within 20-30 minutes of the gate.

Property Description: This ranch has spectacular views, Huge Old Oaks and Cedar Elms shade the land some cedar has been left as cover for game. Fertile well drained soil sets this one apart and makes it very horse friendly and tillable (see wine). The surrounding neighborhood has some of most well known High End ranches in the Hill Country of which many are in Conservation easements insuring the setting for future generations.

This is NOT the cedar infested rocky stuff with thin soil that you have come to believe is all there is in the Hill Country. Nope, the size of this ranch packs a lot of diversity and that is what sets it apart. It has 3700 ft road frontage but maintains a quiet setting without a lot of road noise. There are three nice hilltops with a good elevation changes from about 1280 ft down to 1000 with beautiful 360 degree views of the Pedernales River Valley and best of all you aren’t looking at rooftops. Great deer Hunting, turkey hunting and bird hunting awaits.

This ranch is YOUR blank canvas. It has One water well and good fences making it an opportunity to own a fine piece of property that YOU can mold and create without paying for someone else’s idea of “improvements”. There are a couple of good spots to put in some tanks if one desires. This will be someone’s Family Legacy Ranch. *For those desiring more acreage or potential Pedernales River and Creek Frontage please call the Broker for more information.

Taxes: Property is agriculture exempt. Approximately $540/year

History: It is currently a part of the famed Alonso Robinson Ranch which was established in 1838. Members of the Robinson family still own it. Robinson Road is named after him and the land that the State Park was once a part of the Ranch.
