Located in the heart of Texas Wine Country near Fredericksburg, Hye, and Johnson City, this exceptional 304 acre Texas Hill Country ranch offers rare year-round live water, diverse terrain, and remarkable privacy. The property combines natural beauty with convenient proximity to the region's renowned wineries, dining, and cultural destinations, making it an attractive opportunity for buyers seeking a premier ranch in one of Texas' most desirable lifestyle markets.

At the center of the ranch flows approximately 1.4 miles of spring-fed, year-round Grape Creek, one of the most sought-after live water features in the Fredericksburg area. The creek includes deep pools, shaded banks, and the scenic confluence of Walker Creek, creating an exceptional setting for recreation, wildlife, and long-term land value. Live water of this scale is increasingly rare in Texas Hill Country ranch properties.

The land showcases the varied terrain that defines the Hill Country landscape. Along the creek, granite boulders and gently maintained banks reflect the classic countryside surrounding Fredericksburg and Hye. Across the water, the property rises into dramatic San Saba sandstone outcroppings and elevated viewpoints, with historic stone and sharecropper walls that speak to the region's agricultural heritage. A separate wooded section known as The Emerald Forest adds additional privacy, wildlife habitat, and ecological diversity.

A thoughtfully positioned two-bedroom ranch house provides comfortable accommodations for weekend use, guests, or ranch operations while preserving the open character of the land.

With convenient access to Austin and San Antonio international airports, this property offers a rare combination of live water, acreage, and location within the rapidly growing Texas Wine Country region. The ranch presents opportunities for a private Hill Country retreat, multi-generational family property, or long-term land investment.
