This breathtaking 157-acre estate, located 13 miles outside Fredericksburg, is a combination of hills and valleys along Devils Creek. This year-round creek is dammed in three places and pools alongside the home in an approximate 300’x60′ beautiful body of water where you can fish and enjoy its beauty from the patio/pavilion. The property has an agriculture exemption on its 30-acre Kleingrass hay field, while the remainder is under a wildlife exemption, allowing the ranch to be used for both wildlife beauty and livestock.
