Land with Home for Sale in Fredericksburg, Texas

After twelve wonderful years on Cherry Mountain, the owners are turning the page -- moving closer to their children and grandchildren to write the next chapter of family life together. Their story here began in 2013, drawn by the quiet magic of 10.25 acres tucked among post oaks and native grassland, it's home to abundant wildlife. It is just north of Fredericksburg off Highway 87. Now it's your turn to make this place home. Pull up the private caliche driveway, tree-lined and unhurried, and the world falls away. The house appears through the oaks -- solid block construction under a standing-seam metal roof with red trim and a Texas star beside the front door. Built in 1997, it's the kind of place that feels settled into the land rather than dropped onto it. Step inside and the living room opens up beneath vaulted ceilings -- over 320 square feet of hardwood floors, a wood-burning stove tucked into a corner of red tile, and windows that pull in the Hill Country light. The kitchen flows right into it, nearly 180 square feet of oak cabinetry with a center island big enough for a cutting board and a conversation, a double-oven range, dishwasher, and a double-basin stainless sink beneath the window. A pantry keeps things organized. The dining area sits just beyond at almost 145 square feet with its own chandelier, and a door that opens straight onto the screened patio -- the kind of spot where morning coffee becomes a daily ritual and evening suppers stretch long into dusk. Three bedrooms line the right side of the house. The primary is generous at over 230 square feet -- hardwood floors, ceiling fan, multiple closets, its own exterior entrance, and en-suite access to a full bathroom spanning 135 square feet with oak vanity, tub/shower, and grab bars. Two more bedrooms share a second full bathroom and a hallway, each with hardwood floors, ceiling fans and closets. A laundry room keeps the stacked washer and dryer tucked neatly out of sight. But the real living here happens outside. The screened patio stretches 195 square feet with its ceiling fan -- where you'll sit when the Hill Country breeze is just right. The wraparound wood deck covers almost 700 square feet, and that's where you'll stand with a glass of wine, watching deer cross the property at dusk. The fenced rear yard keeps the dogs close. And around you, 10.25 acres of native pasture, agave, and stone borders stretch out under wide-open sky -- abundant wildlife included. The detached garage and workshop fills 380 square feet with a concrete floor, workbench, pegboard, and a built-in storage room -- the kind of space where projects get started and finished. A 2-car metal carport covering nearly 485 square feet sits alongside. Out back, the wellhouse at just over 120 square feet holds the Aquasana Rhino whole-house UV water filtration system, Well-X-Trol pressure tank, and a large poly storage tank -- reliable water, already handled. Small outbuildings and a charming decorative well round out the grounds. And here's the part that makes it all even sweeter. The total tax rate is just 1.058% -- in a state with no income tax. The list price is only about 7% above tax value -- meaning your taxes stay grounded on the lower assessed value while you step into a property the market prices higher. That's a built-in advantage from day one. You're in the Fredericksburg ISD, about 8 miles from downtown Fredericksburg, 30 from Kerrville, 80 from San Antonio, and 85 from Austin. Close enough to everything. Far enough from all of it.
