Land: The property spans 96.76± rolling acres, transitioning from an improved homesite into wild oak-juniper woodlands, native grasslands, and rugged limestone hills. Approximately 91 acres are protected by a conservation easement that permanently preserves the natural habitat, wildlife corridors, and scenic viewsheds from future development. A designated building envelope is included. The land provides critical habitat for the golden-cheeked warbler, as well as numerous other native species. Selective brush management is permitted to enhance ecological health and support native diversity. Originally protected by conservation-minded owners who recognized the ecological significance of the land, this estate now stands as a lasting testament to their vision — a place where the natural world is not just preserved, but thoughtfully experienced. Water: From the patio the home looks northwest across the Little Blanco River Valley. From the hilltop, panoramic views stretch southward over the Guadalupe River Valley and its many feeder creeks. These contrasting vistas offer a rare perspective on two of the Hill Country’s most iconic watersheds. The improvements are serviced by a water well. Terrain/Topography: The land’s dramatic elevation is defined by all four flanks of a prominent hilltop, culminating in a broad meadow near the summit — one of the highest points in Kendall County. This unique geological formation is the exposed crest of an ancient reef, the lowest member of the Edwards Limestone, giving the ranch its exceptional views and distinct character. Recreation/Hunting: At its core, this property offers the rare, recreational, and intrinsic value that only untouched Hill Country land can provide. Generations have experienced the richness of this habitat — and many more will. Blinds and feeders are positioned throughout the property for hunting, while an established trail network invites exploration on foot. Whether for wildlife watching, hiking, or quiet moments under the canopy, this is a property meant to be experienced slowly and deeply.
