Lot 6

Start at the creek. It comes in off the northeast corner and runs a good quarter mile across the ground, angling down toward the southwest corner. Creeks in this Kerr County country run with the seasons, so you'll see it work after a good rain and go quiet through the dry stretches, and the best way to know it is to walk it with us. Either way, that draw is the low line of the tract, the natural crease where water gathers and where the ground pulls your eye when you stand up top. This is 25.82 acres of Walnut Creek Ranch land for sale in the oak-covered hills near Kerrville, and the creek is the spine you'll build the rest of your picture around.

Follow that draw back uphill and the land climbs. From the creek bottom the ground rises better than 60 ft to the high side, roughly 1,978 up to 2,041 ft. That's real relief on a piece this size. It gives you a choice of where to sit a house, up on the rise where the air moves, or lower toward the trees, and it means the tract has some shape to it instead of running flat.

Across the north end, east to west, the ground opens into grass. There's more of the same running along the west side and down toward the south, so the tract isn't all timber. You get cleared ground for a drive, a pad, a little pasture if you want one, held between stretches of oak. That mix is what makes this part of the Hill Country worth having. Cover for the deer, open ground for you.

The long side of the tract fronts a paved public road for around 1,520 ft along the northwest edge. That's a lot of hard road at your door, and where your access comes in is a thing we'll walk with you, since the deed and plat govern that, not the pavement. There's an older fence along the north side. Come see how the rest lies and where you'd want to close it off.

A pipeline easement crosses the north end of the tract, east to west. It's common through this country, shown on the survey and set out in the title work.

This is old, storied ground. Southern Kerr County is where the Army ran its camels out of Camp Verde back in the 1850s, and the general store from that era is still trading. Walnut Creek Ranch spreads over 845 acres of those oak hills, and every tract is surveyed with light restrictions and no commercial use, so what your neighbors build stays in keeping with the place. We owner finance with as little as 5% down.

Walk it after a rain if you can, when the draw is showing what it does and the grass is up. Wear boots that can take the rock on the climb. Call us and we'll meet you at the road, follow the creek line, and show you the high side where a house would sit.
