History. This ranch offering has been under one family's ownership since Abraham Lincoln was President. It is extremely rare to find a ranch such as this, that has been owned by the same family since 1863! The current owner's family settled on the ranch when it was still wild and uncivilized country. There are still burn middens or mounds on the place and artifacts have been found here.
This ranch has never been flipped, and it is ready for the new owner to create your own fabulous water features in complete seclusion and natural beauty, with easy access to the charm of Fredericksburg.

Improvements. An Austin stone home provides a comfortable residence and is in very good condition, being built in 2003. It is a 3/2 of 1430 square feet, with a rock fireplace. It has a large open breezeway between the house and the detached garage, which is covered and makes a great outdoor dining area.
In addition, the home features a rock pavilion with a built-in steel barbeque pit. What a great place for barbequing and enjoying a cold refreshing beverage in the evening.
Behind the house is a good new metal shop building with nearly 1800 square feet of space. About a mile and a half south of the house is the hunter's cabin, frame construction with 4 bedrooms and 1.5 baths.
