Located at 1596 Bear Creek Road in Pipe Creek, this 28.65 acre tract sits in the heart of the Texas Hill Country in Bandera County, just 1.5 miles north of Highway 16 on paved Bear Creek Road. It is a rare combination of size, location, and usable terrain, with paved road frontage, a nice gated entrance, an established interior road, and a building site already cleared and leveled at the high point of the property.

The land is a good mix of open and wooded country. Mature live oaks and cedar cover much of the tract, with open areas that break up the tree cover and give the property a natural, varied feel. Draws run through the property and the terrain changes noticeably as you move across it, climbing from a low point of roughly 1,340 feet to 1,454 feet at the top, a change of about 114 feet. That kind of elevation change on a tract this size is what creates the long views and the sense of privacy buyers look for in the Hill Country.

The current owner has already done the hard work. A well built road runs from the gated entrance at Bear Creek Road all the way to the back of the property, climbing to the highest point, where a pad site has been cleared and leveled for a home or a cabin. From that pad you look out over most of the acreage and across the surrounding Hill Country. Anyone wanting to build would be starting well ahead of where most raw tracts leave you, with good interior access and a finished building site already in place.

There are two tanks on the property that will hold water, providing water for wildlife and adding to the recreational appeal. Combined with the oak cover, the draws, and the terrain, the tract supports the whitetail deer, turkey, and other native wildlife common to this part of the Edwards Plateau. The property is currently under a wildlife management valuation, which keeps the annual property taxes low. A buyer who intends to continue that valuation should plan to keep the qualifying practices in place and confirm the requirements with the Bandera Central Appraisal District.

Location is one of the strongest features here. The turn off Highway 16 puts you at the gate in a mile and a half on pavement. Bandera is approximately 7 miles away, Boerne is approximately 17 miles, Loop 1604 in San Antonio is approximately 27 miles, and Kerrville is approximately 31 miles. That kind of access makes the tract work as a weekend place, a hunting and recreational getaway, or a full time homesite within commuting range of San Antonio. The tract borders larger neighbors to the north and east, which helps preserve the feel of the place and limits the development pressure immediately around it.

For a buyer looking for recreational land, a Hill Country building site, or a smaller acreage investment in a strong and steadily growing part of Bandera County, this tract offers a lot in a convenient location.
