A rare opportunity to own ‘The Ranch at River Bend’ near one of America’s top small towns – Fredericksburg, TX. This stunning legacy ranch is just shy of 100-acres of lush hay pasture, shady hardwoods and diverse wildlife habitat along with over 1,000 feet of Pedernales River live water. Also includes a wet weather creek and three water wells. The ranch house was likely hand-built by German settlers in the 1900s and is a great example of a limestone ‘Schmear’ house with massive stone walls to regulate temperature. Lovingly restored, the 2,165 sq ft house has plenty of unique features including a root cellar and flagstone floors. A huge upstairs flex space provides additional capacity along with 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, a sunroom, living room with open fireplace and double patio doors, kitchen with dining room, plus a built-in covered BBQ entertainment space and patio with unobstructed views across the rolling hills to the river below.
A 1,920 sqft, modern storage building/workshop includes 4 bays with rollup doors, and two large rainwater collection tanks. The woods, pasture, and river frontage are all fully fenced and includes remnants of stone boundary walls. Plans already exist to build a second home in a breathtaking spot along the Pedernales River, where an old hunting cabin and windmill now reside. A truly one-of-a-kind property, ‘The Ranch at River Bend’ offers seclusion and privacy along a long, gated driveway off county road FM 2093. Ag exemption keeps taxes low, and no known restrictions. Potential uses for this property include family recreational or commercial as a bed and breakfast or short-term rental.
