Lot 13

The land moves under you here. From the northern edge along the public road it falls away toward the south end, dropping and rising some 65 ft across the 26.75 acres, settling from a high shoulder near 2,103 ft to a low around 2,038 ft where the water wants to gather. That difference is what makes this Kerr County ranch land for sale at Walnut Creek Ranch worth walking slow. You feel the terrain before you read it. The high shoulder toward the north gives you a natural place to set a house among the oaks, up out of the low ground and looking off across your own acreage.

What all that fall does is pull the water toward one corner. Three seasonal draws thread this tract, and they read the ground exactly the way you'd expect on a place that tips to the southeast. One carries better than 500 ft down toward the southeast corner. A shorter draw feeds into the south section, and a third short cut joins the others as they work toward that same low corner. In a wet stretch you'll hear them before you see them. A fence line trail crosses the bed at the southeast corner, the low crossing point of the whole tract, and standing there you understand how the place drains.

Most of Tract 13 wears oak and cover, with a band of open pasture breaking through the middle where the grass catches the morning sun. That mix is what a Hill Country buyer looks for. Shade and cover where you want it, a clearing where you'd run a horse or park a rig or just sit and watch the tree line at dusk when the deer step out of the draws.

The north side fronts our new paved ranch road for something better than 800 ft, which is where your drive would come off and where the frontage gives you room to place a gate well back from the pavement. Inside the fence, an established dirt ranch road runs east to west across the south end, close to a third of a mile of it already cut into the ground. That existing trail is how you move across the low part of the place without building new. Deed and plat govern what you can drive and where, and we'll lay the survey over the ground with you so you can see exactly where your lines fall.

Walnut Creek Ranch spreads across 845 acres of the oak hills south and west of Kerrville, the same Texas Hill Country that has been ranched for generations.  This is old, storied ranching country, and the tracts here run roomy on purpose, enough room to set a home and keep the world at arm's length. The ranch is gated and private, and paved approach reaches this section from our new road.

A breaker main is set on the tract, which settles the power question most raw pieces leave open. The galvanized fence along the back was built to last. We hold each tract to light restrictions with no commercial use, so the place stays the sort of ground worth building on. Owner financing runs with as little as 5% down, which keeps the entry within reach while you decide where the house goes.

Come walk it, meet us at the north gate and we'll take you down the ranch road to the creek, then back up to the high shoulder so you can pick your spot.
