Spring Valley Ranch is a remarkably diverse 78.98 acre Hill Country ranch offering rolling hills, long-range views, deep wooded draws, a unique intermittent spring area, and excellent recreational appeal. Ideally located approximately 17 miles north of Fredericksburg along paved Schneider-Moellering Road, the ranch combines privacy and seclusion with convenient access to town. Whether envisioned as a private hunting retreat, weekend getaway, or site for a full-time Hill Country residence, Spring Valley Ranch offers an exceptional combination of natural beauty, recreation, and location. The ranch is defined by its diverse terrain. Rolling hills transition into scenic draws, while elevated ridges provide impressive long-range views and several potential building sites. Elevations range from approximately 1,880 to 2,020 feet above sea level, creating roughly 140 feet of elevation change and giving the ranch a much larger feel. A unique intermittent spring is one of the ranch's most interesting natural features. Located within a wooded draw and surrounded by mature hardwoods, the spring has been protected with a spring box and concrete holding area. Seasonal draws wind through the ranch, creating attractive wildlife corridors and adding to the ranch's recreational character. Vegetation includes walnut, Spanish oak, live oak, cedar elm, native pecan, and other native species, along with thick stands of native grasses. The Sellers have taken a conservation-minded approach to the ranch, removing and mulching a significant amount of cedar along multiple hillsides and draws. This work has opened the landscape, showcased desirable hardwoods, improved accessibility, and encouraged native grasses while maintaining areas of thicker cover for wildlife. An established road system provides convenient access throughout much of the ranch, making it easy to hunt, hike, explore, and enjoy the Property. Wildlife is abundant, with whitetail deer, turkey, dove, feral hogs, and with other animals native to the Hill Country. There is one well tested at 40 gallons per minute, providing an excellent resource for future residential or ranch improvements. A 1,300 square foot Mueller metal barn, constructed in 2023, sits on a concrete slab and features a 10-foot overhang for additional covered storage. The barn provides ample space for tractors, UTVs, trailers, and ranch equipment. Electricity is already in place, and plumbing has been stubbed for future water service, providing flexibility for a future bathroom or potential living accommodations. Spring Valley Ranch fronts paved Schneider-Moellering Road for approximately 2,550 feet and is conveniently located approximately 12 miles from Enchanted Rock State Natural Area and 29 miles from Llano. San Antonio is approximately 85 miles away, while Austin is approximately 100 miles from the ranch. With its long-range views, diverse terrain, spring area, strong water well, quality barn, established road system, and proximity to Fredericksburg, Spring Valley Ranch is an outstanding opportunity for buyers seeking a private Hill Country hunting and recreational ranch with excellent potential for a future residence.
