LOCATION: Redstone Ridge Ranch, the north central part of the famed Redstone Ranch, fronts (about 2,500) on paved RR 2721 about 20 miles east of sizzling Fredericksburg (world class shops, restaurants, arts/crafts, culture, jet airport, hospital, big box stores, etc.), in a decidedly rural area of high hills overlooking the Pedernales River valley and beyond to the south, and toward the Highland Lakes to the north. Neighbors are large, and there are no small tract subdivisions in the proximity of the ranch.Austin and San Antonio are both about 60 miles from the site, and the Highland Lakes and Horseshoe Bay Golf Courses are about 30 miles to the north. This location is central to all that is the Texas Hill Country, within 2 hours of just about everything imaginable, yet peacefully isolated from it all on a little-traveled, paved Texas Ranch Road.

WATER: This ranch possesses part of the headwaters of Iron Rock Creek, and has springs high up in these drainages that support riparian vegetation and feeds stock ponds that hold water much of the time. These tanks could be cleaned out and re-lined, likely resulting in viable fisheries.
There is a 320 water well nearby, that tested at 50 gpm. Gillespie County receives 27 inches of rainfall annually.
LAND: A primary feature of this ranch is the gently rolling topography, with spectacular homesite overlooking the Pedernales River Valley below. Beautiful, clean grass meadows are interspersed with forests of oak and elm, and soils are mostly clay, with some limited areas of stony outcrops.
These soils support healthy stands of native and improved grasses. This countryside supports abundant populations of wildlife, including whitetail deer, axis deer, turkey, songbirds and dove. Hunting has been light and tightly managed, and is rated as outstanding.
The land features two drainages, both of which stay wet much of the time. There is a very healthy mix of open/field land to forest, with cedar historically well managed and controlled.
IMPROVEMENTS: There are no improvements other than some perimeter fencing and pasture roads.
FINANCIAL/TITLE: Asking $525,000, cash to Seller, who will provide basic title insurance and current survey. Minerals are negotiable, though Seller wishes to retain some mineral interest. There are no known easements other than utility, and title appears fairly clean and straightforward. The tract will be restricted against subdivision into anything smaller than 25 acre tracts, and mobile homes, junkyards, nuisance activities and towers. The property is located in the Fredericksburg ISD, and current ag-exempt taxes are about $100.
SUMMARY: This is that rare and sought after small ranch parcel taken out of a larger ranch that so many ask for! Big view homesites, good pond potential and excellent cover of hardwoods makes this one a winner in its category. Come on!
