Shepherd Hill Ranch is one of the largest parcels of land less than 2 miles to Main Street Fredericksburg. This is your LAST opportunity to acquire a ranch of this size, this close to town, with the GUARANTEE that high density development will not surround you. Protected by a conservation easement, this ranch will forever be protected from future development. Located less than 5 minutes to one of the most visited areas in the USA, lies an incredible opportunity to own 246.94 acres complete with 2 houses, 2 water wells, shop, barns, and much more!
LAND: The Shepherd Hill Ranch is the ideal mix of rolling hills and flat usable ground. Thousands of mature live oak, spanish oak, ash juniper, pecan, and many other hard wood native trees provide beautiful privacy for the ranch. This ranch has 3 beautiful hilltops with one named Hill (Henke Hill) with an elevation of 1,923′. A good road system throughout allows you to access all parts of the ranch. A new fence is in the process of being put in which will complete a very good quality perimeter fence.
IMPROVEMENTS: 2 beautiful houses make this ranch turn key ready on day one. The old German Block home was originally built in the early 1900’s. It has been re-done with modern day conveniences and is truly a piece of living history. The newer 3 bed, 2 bath home was built in 2014. This home has many “green” features such as solar powered with battery system and elaborate rain water collection system. Very comfortable home with beautiful back porch looking towards hundreds of acres protected by a conservation easement. A functional 3 bay metal workshop with concrete floors and additional outbuildings provide plenty of functional space for your projects and ranching activities.
WATER: This 246.94 acres is well watered with 2 water wells that are both working and recently serviced. One well services the houses, while the other services the livestock corrals. Well production is 15gpm and 20gpm respectively. There is a small pond of the north side of the hills that catches runoff and holds water the majority of the year.
WILDLIFE: Shepherd Hill Ranch has been managed for generations for wildlife and native species to Gillespie county. A healthy population of whitetail deer, Rio grande turkey, bobwhite quail, morning and white wing dove, and much more call the ranch home. Axis deer and wild hogs frequent the property as well. This has to be one of the few ranches in the county with wild bobwhite quail! ***All creeks and rivers in Texas are subject to fluctuating levels of flow and can go underground or even become dry at times based on rainfall and other conditions.

Caza North Ranch
1,017 ACRES – Zavala/Dimmit Co.
Caza North is a low fenced hunting ranch located just a few miles southeast of Crystal City, TX. Making up the eastern boundary is 1.7 miles of frontage on paved FM 65. The Nueces River meanders along the property for over 2 miles creating the ranch’s western boundary. The entire river bottom is made up of huge, towering hardwoods with the dominate species being century old live oaks. The river flows during wet years but currently is comprised of only pockets of water along stretches that provide water for native wildlife and habitat for wood ducks.
Spread throughout the ranch are tower hunting blinds, feeders, 6 surface tanks and one large lake. Both the lakes and tanks can be supplemented by well and an intricate, buried water distribution system. Water availability is becoming a major concern in our state and the issue is projected to only get worse in the future. Arguably, Caza’s most valuable asset is the tremendous groundwater it possesses. There are 3 functioning Carrizo Sands irrigation wells each with a 200 HP 3-phase electric surface pump that can produce upwards of 1,250 gpm. This large volume of water is currently used to supplement the lake and tanks or can be sent to either of the 2 center pivots irrigation systems. The availability, quantity, quality and distribution of our most precious resource, water on this ranch is second to none.
Step into luxury and comfort with the 2-story main lodge built on a high bluff overlooking the River. Boasting a generous 6,910 square feet of living space, this home features nine bedrooms, nine and a half bathrooms, and a plethora of amenities. The lodge is meticulously designed and constructed with wood framing, stucco and rock exterior walls, and a metal roof. Enjoy the warmth of the large sandstone wood-burning fireplace in the living area, or unwind in the master suite complete with a jacuzzi-style bathtub and a spacious walk-in closet. The lodge also includes a bar area, a formal dining room, and a well-appointed kitchen with wood cabinetry and concrete countertops. In addition to the main home there is a large metal shop and an older horse barn with stalls. Adjacent to the lodge is a 20 acre high fenced trap with water that can be utilized as a “house pasture” for exotics or stock. It’s hard to imagine a better place to unwind after an evening hunt than at the firepit on the spacious back patio while overlooking a beautiful stretch of Nueces River during a South Texas sunset.
Game on the property is plentiful with deer, dove, quail, turkey, ducks and hogs. River bottoms provide natural travel corridors for game and the 2 mile stretch of Nueces frontage offers that true low fence excitement that comes with unpredictable game sightings.
The northern part of the ranch along the river and accessed by its own dedicated entrance is an RV park with 165 rental spots with paved roads and utilities in place. Though not in operation today, the park was 100% occupied and highly profitable for several years during the Eagleford Shale boom. Today nature is slowly transforming the park back to its natural state but all infrastructure remains in place if the future owner desires a possible income stream in the future.
Financial: $3,995/acre or $4,062,915. Property will be transferred with no reservations. All furnishings and equipment will convey along with water pumping rights out of the river. The property is subject to an existing O&G lease. Call Broker for additional details.
