---HOME & IMPROVEMENTS---
This 1999 3/2 + office home is 2,837 sf and has panoramic views of the wide open Texas Hill Country. Native landscaping surrounds the home and accents the 16x16 porch that faces the east. Entertaining is easy as you enter the living room complete with fireplace, kitchen with granite counter tops and breakfast bar, and a formal dining room through the French doors on the porch. Stone floors and floor to ceiling windows bring the outside in and highlight the natural beauty. The master bedroom is downstairs along with an attractive all-wood office and a guest bathroom. Upstairs there are 2 large bedrooms, a full bathroom, and a multi-functional room that would make an excellent storage area, media room, office, studio, or reading nook. There is plenty of storage and diverse-use space in this house; the two bay garage also has a large climate controlled room perfect for canning, an office, holiday decorations, or plants during the winter. The gardener, wildlife & outdoor enthusiast all have plenty to enjoy here.
---LAND---
29.09 acres of Hill Country views, a wet-weather creek which drains to Wasp Creek, and a diverse canopy of Oaks, Elms, & native trees. Perfect for biking, hiking, horse riding, bird watching, or digging for artifacts. The property is fenced on three sides and is lush with native grasses, such as little bluestem and Eastern gammagrass, with a mix of pasture and woods with sandy loam soils. The well managed underbrush provides plenty of diverse habitat and food sources for the abundant wildlife population. The home sits on the highest point of the property near the southern property line that looks out over the valley and the hill sides. The neighbors on the north and west sides are both much larger properties that provide privacy, and the south and east neighbors are similar size homesteads. Have your privacy & neighbors too!
---CONSERVATION EASEMENT---
There is a Cibolo Conservancy Conservation Easement on the property which protects against intense development of the property while allowing building of a small shop, office, or secondary residence, hunting, recreation, and other common end-user activities. This Conservation Easement dovetails nicely with the Wildlife Management Valuation on the property, and does not limit a buyer's ability to continue common wildlife management or recreational activities on the property. Plateau Land & Wildlife Management will donate a 2-hour site visit with the buyer to ensure they have full understanding of the past property uses and answer questions about the conversation easement. The Conservation Easement serves to protect the property, and allows a purchase at well-below normal market value.
---WATER---
A strong 650 deep water well provides water to the house put in by TR Well Service in 2000.
There are 2 rainwater collection tanks for a total of 11,500 gallons of water available for irrigating the gardens and landscaping, providing water for wildlife or horses, or as a backup for the home.
---WILDLIFE / HUNTING---
Whitetail deer, turkey, and a diverse variety of wildlife call this property home, and hunting is permitted. The large, low fence neighboring properties allow the population to travel easily between the open fields, the diverse browse, and water sources.
---TAXES---
A Wildlife Tax Valuation is in place keeping the carrying cost low at $5875/yr. Plateau Land & Wildlife Management is offering a free consultation to the new owners on how to maintain the Wildlife Tax Valuation.
