263 Ac. LONG CREEK RANCH, Gillespie County, Fredericksburg, TX 78624

SHOWINGS & INFORMATION: Randy Cadwallader (210) 860-0093

DESCRIPTION: The Long Creek Ranch is a stunning live-water ranch in highly sought after Gillespie County. The ranch offers total privacy and seclusion, yet is just minutes to Fredericksburgs main street. With its gorgeous spring-fed creek, long distance views, newly constructed barn, great access, and desirable shape this property checks every box for a hill country ranch!

IMPROVEMENTS: The newly constructed barn has 4,000 sf of enclosed space with a bathroom and shower, deer cooler, large gun safe, plumbed compressed air system, WiFi, A/V system w/ Sonos, Tesla charger, and a 40x80 covered equipment storage area in the rear and 26x 80 cement slab/covered parking in the front. The barn also features a deer cleaning station with lights and 2 powered winches.

The large metal roof on the barn is tied into a rain catchment system that flows into a 65,000 gallon storage tank. There is a large solar array to supplement power to the barn, so the CTEC energy bill never exceeds $27/month and surplus power is pushed back to CTEC and credited via a wholesale agreement.

Along the creek there is a newly constructed covered and paved gun range with a storage building and solar power.

The owners have installed almost 3 miles of crushed granite roads, including the privately owned lane from Gypsum Mine Rd, ensuring easy and comfortable access into and around the ranch.

WATER: The highlight of the property is the 4,600ft of both sides of spring-fed Long Branch Creek. Two spillways have been constructed along the creek to create two beautiful lakes that ensure year-round recreation. According to the owners, this creek has never stopped flowing since they owned the property, even during the recent drought. There is one water well on the property along with the high capacity rainwater storage system.

LAND/TOPOGRAPHY: The topography is mostly gently rolling and very usable, with 120 ft of elevation change across the ranch, ranging from 1900 - 2020 ft above sea level. The owners have done extensive cedar clearing, enabling the native grasses to flourish, and to open up the creek bottom and hilltops which offer some breathtaking long-distance views. There are some beautiful mature hardwoods along the creek and numerous Live Oaks throughout the ranch.

WILDLIFE: The ranch boasts a healthy population of native whitetail deer, Rio Grande turkey, and also has some free-ranging Axis.

TAXES: Wildlife Tax Exemption in place
