Lot 14

Some ground wants to be dressed up. This 24.25-acre tract of ranch land for sale at Walnut Creek Ranch in Kerr County isn't that kind. It's honest Hill Country, gently rolling oak country in the Kerrville area, and it asks a straightforward thing of whoever owns it: pick your spot and get to work. There's a lot to be said for that.

The draw is the first thing you'll want to see. It sits down in the southwest corner, cut soft into the ground, and a creek runs about 140 ft across the tract heading that way. It runs when the country gets its rain, the way water moves in these hills, and there's a ford down there where a track drops in and crosses the creek bed. Walk it after a wet spell and you'll understand how the land drains. That low corner is where the ground gathers and where the shade sits longest in the afternoon.

Up on the north end, a hunting blind stands near the fenceline, looking into a feeder set in the old caliche pit. That's where the deer come to work, morning and evening, and it tells you plainly how this ground gets hunted. The fall across the whole place is gentle, about 39 ft from one side to the other, so nothing here fights you. Open grass runs through the east part, a break in the oaks where the light comes down and a house pad could sit clean and dry. The rest is the oak cover Kerr County has been prized for since the shingle makers first worked up the Guadalupe.

Here is the part that saves a buyer the most. Power has been run to this lot, with its own breaker box and a pole already set. If you've priced pulling electric out into ranch country, you know what that's worth before you turn a single shovel. Confirm the particulars of the service with us and with the utility, and come see the pole for yourself.

The tract fronts a public road for roughly 590 ft along the northeast side, which is where your drive would naturally come off the road. About 3,450 ft of existing dirt ranch road already runs across the south end, east to west, so there's a way to move around the place without cutting new trail. One of those roads is marked private, and access rights come from the deed and plat rather than from any road you can see, so we'll walk the boundaries and the plat with you so you know exactly what's yours.

The south side carries fence, a 7-strand high-tensile line with 2-point barb strung on galvanized T-posts and capped galvanized line posts. That's a fence built to stand 60 years, not a season. The survey and title work govern where the true line falls, and we'll show you the corners when you come.

Every tract on Walnut Creek Ranch is surveyed, with light restrictions and no commercial use, so the ranch stays the kind of place worth settling into. We owner finance with as little as 5% down. This is the sort of Kerr County ground that rewards a person who wants to do it themselves. Wear boots that can handle the caliche and the creek bank, come in the cool of the morning when the deer are moving, and we'll walk it corner to corner.
