The property features a 1,548± sq. ft. two-story barndominium serving as the main residence (3 bed / 1 bath), with charming beadboard finishes, updated flooring, large windows framing the landscape, and a spacious second-story deck that captures dramatic vistas. A separate efficiency cabin with a full bathroom provides additional guest accommodations or a quiet private retreat. The ranch also includes a large, fully insulated metal shop—ideal for equipment storage, a workshop, or the potential conversion into additional living space. With a water well, septic, and electricity already in place, the property is fully equipped for full-time living or weekend escapes. The land reveals true Hill Country character—ridge lines, hardwood groves, native grasses, and diverse topography—a 2.14-mile private hiking trail looping through the interior of the property. Perfect for morning walks, wildlife viewing, UTV rides, and exploring the natural terrain. Keener Branch, a seasonal creek, winds through the ranch, creating scenic pockets of shade, enhancing wildlife habitat, and enriching the overall landscape. Abundant native wildlife, offering opportunities for hunting, recreation, or simply enjoying the quiet solitude. Located just 15.6 miles from downtown Fbg and 2.6 miles (±5 minutes) from Enchanted Rock, the ranch blends privacy with outstanding accessibility—an uncommon opportunity this close to world-class destinations. This rare, expansive acreage in a sought-after Gillespie County location offers the perfect Hill Country getaway or family legacy ranch.
