I took my wife to Fredericksburg for the first time over the summer. We have a lot of friends there and I've been going a few times a year for 20 years. She loved it. Wanted to drop everything and move there, which unfortunately isn't currently feasible, but I was able to convince her that if she was serious about it, we should probably move on a tract of land pretty quickly because prices are going through the roof in the area.

Did a lot of searching and walked several tracts, but in the end, the place I bought is right next to my buddy's dad's place out by Enchanted Rock. Be a few years before we can afford to build, but it feels dang good to have locked something down. It's 14 miles from Fredericksburg and 20 miles from LLano. Got a couple natural springs on it that are currently flowing, and a decent pond that could probably be better with a little work. Really cool granite formation at the back and tons of deer. Too many, actually. Took a few pics, but they don't do it justice.

Open area at the front:


Granite slab towards the back of the property:


This will be our morning view with the sun coming up behind Enchanted Rock once we build:


As mentioned, probably saw like 40 deer walking the place, but it was mostly does and youngsters. Surprisingly well fed in appearance considering how dang many there are. Neighbor is a wildlife/earth sciences guy. Said we need to take a whole bunch of them out and they're out of control. Think I'll help him out with that request...

36 Feels big to me though, because the whole thing is wooded.

Nice buy.

I imagine if you look around some....you'll find some Native American artifacts on that property.

Yeah, my buddy's dad bought his place out there at absolute auction. Seller turned down a 700k offer because he was sure it would sell for a million at auction. Winning bid: $300k. Total bidders: 2

I've been jealous of him since.
