Description
Located just south of Harper, this 20± acre Hill Country homestead offers a rare blend of privacy, thoughtful improvements, and exceptional access. The property sits minutes from the amenities, cafés, and grocery options in Harper, with Fredericksburg—one of Texas’s premier destinations for dining, wineries, and shopping —just an easy drive to the east. Also a short drive to the south is access to Kerrville and the top ranked Peterson Health System. With no HOA fees, minimal deed restrictions, and 19 acres under ag valuation (plus a 1-acre deer-proof fenced homestead), the property delivers both freedom and long-term tax advantages.
The land features gently rolling terrain, deep soils, mature oaks and cedar elms, and classic views of the dry Pedernales River country, known for its scenic limestone bluffs. The owners have established extensive native landscaping along with productive gardens and plantings, including ten above-ground planter boxes, two 20’x20’ raised beds, multiple herb gardens, eighteen mature grape vines, and an orchard with fig, peach, apple, and pear trees. Water systems include a private well with a 1,350-gallon AquaScience holding tank plus a separate 2,500-gallon rainwater collection tank.
The newly constructed home is built with durability and efficiency in mind, featuring all-metal siding and roofing, stick framing, blown-in insulation, insulated garage doors, an owned 250-gallon propane tank, and a 1,000-gallon septic system. Offering nearly 2,900 sq. ft. of heated and cooled space (5,200 sq. ft. under roof), the home includes concrete floors, ceilings ranging from 9’ to 22’, custom alder cabinetry, Whirlpool appliances, an oversized 12’x20’ butler’s pantry, and an open-concept design centered around a double-sided indoor/outdoor masonry fireplace. The downstairs primary suite features separate vanities, a large closet with washer/dryer, and an aging-in-place wet room. The home includes three bedrooms, two full baths, and two half baths, with ADA-friendly features such as 36” doors and accessible bathrooms. Two additional upstairs bedrooms and a 12’x21’ flex room are served by a separate HVAC system and can be closed off when not in use.
A standout element is the 14’x50’ downstairs flex room—ideal as a greenhouse, den, or game room—with three insulated 10’x8’ roll-up doors, drainage, and a sink area. The 54’x20’ covered front porch, complete with the outdoor side of the masonry fireplace, creates an inviting space to enjoy sunrise views and wildlife.
Beyond the home, a separate 36’x36’ insulated garage includes three insulated roll-up doors, a workshop area, and full RV accommodations with 50-amp service, septic hookup, and freshwater connection. An additional 1,296± sq. ft. insulated barn with roll-up doors offers even more storage for equipment, vehicles, or recreational use. Two automated entry gates enhance privacy and convenience, and the property supports abundant native wildlife along with free-roaming exotics such as axis and blackbuck.
This is a turnkey Hill Country homestead—quality construction, mature improvements, productive land, and unmatched access to both Harper and Fredericksburg—ready to enjoy from day one.
