About Gillespie County land
Gillespie County sits in the heart of the Texas Hill Country, with Fredericksburg — founded by German settlers in 1846 — as its county seat, alongside Harper, Stonewall, and Doss. It's about 70 miles from Austin and 65 from San Antonio, each a 75–90-minute drive, over rolling limestone hills and granite outcrops between roughly 1,100 and 2,250 feet.
The Pedernales River crosses the southern county, and rural tracts typically draw water from Trinity and Edwards–Trinity aquifer wells. Wildlife is abundant — whitetail, Rio Grande turkey, dove, and free-ranging axis and other exotics that may be hunted year-round. Buyers are drawn by the wine country (50+ wineries along the US-290 trail), peach orchards, German heritage, Enchanted Rock, and proximity to two major metros — all of which underpin strong land values.

Surveyed, with deeded access
