Land for Sale in Hext, Texas
1774 Shafer Ln, Hext, TX 76848
This 111-acre river property captures what so many buyers are searching for along the San Saba River -- usable frontage, scenic character, and a setting that feels both private and inviting. With approximately 950+/- feet of live water, the river here is dynamic and beautiful. Shallow rock-bottom stretches transition into deeper pools, with gentle rapids flowing across native limestone shelves. A portion of the bank is gently sloping providing walkable and gentle access into the pristine water. The frontage here invites use -- wading, casting, kayaking, and gathering. This is not just river frontage on paper -- it's river frontage you can truly experience. The terrain is classic Texas Hill Country. Rolling topography, mature oak trees, and native grasses create a balanced landscape with both open areas and dense brush. The heavier cover along portions of the property supports strong wildlife habitat, offering excellent recreational potential for whitetail, turkey, dove, and other native species. Whether you envision a hunting retreat, a weekend escape, or a long-term legacy property for your family, this tract provides the natural ingredients. Several elevated areas offer potential homesites with views toward the river corridor, while maintaining privacy from neighboring properties. Electrical service is available, and an older water well is already in place -- a valuable starting point for future improvements. Located between Mason and Menard, the property enjoys a desirable Hill Country setting with convenient access to both communities. Whether you're coming in for the weekend or planning to build something more permanent, the location offers a comfortable balance of accessibility and seclusion. Properties with this combination of size, live water, recreational appeal, and infrastructure are becoming increasingly difficult to find in this corridor of the San Saba River. This 111-acre tract offers the opportunity to own a meaningful stretch of water and land -- a place where fishing rods lean against oak trees, boots stay by the riverbank, and time moves a little slower.
