Experience the essence of Texas Hill Country living on this exceptional 40+ acre estate, just 7 miles from downtown Fredericksburg. Privately positioned atop a scenic rise, the home is approached by a winding drive that reveals breathtaking panoramic views, creating a true sense of arrival and a rare blend of privacy and elevated country living. The 4-bedroom, 4-bath Hilltop home is thoughtfully designed for both everyday comfort and effortless entertaining, featuring a welcoming great room, spacious dining area, and a kitchen that opens to a light-filled sunroom and breakfast space overlooking the landscape. The primary suite serves as a private retreat, complete with dual en suites, expansive closets, a walk-through shower, and a soaking tub. A split floor plan provides privacy for secondary bedrooms, many centered around a stunning flagstone courtyard, while a detached two-car garage with mudroom and additional storage rooms adds everyday functionality and convenience. Outdoors, the property truly comes to life, covered porches frame unforgettable sunrises and sunsets, while a cedar-planked pavilion, fishing pier with stocked pond, and shooting range create a one-of-a-kind recreational setting. Multiple outbuildings, including an oversized (25x50) air-conditioned workshop with car lift and a pole barn (30x50) with additional 15-ft shed, offer exceptional flexibility for equipment, hobbies, or business use. Thoughtful updates, including recently replaced HVAC systems and upgraded windows, enhance comfort and efficiency throughout. The estate also offers the potential for a one-time subdivision, providing future flexibility while maintaining the integrity and privacy of this Hill Country retreat. With a transferable AG exemption, mineral rights, and an unmatched setting just minutes from Fredericksburg's renowned wineries, dining, and charm, this is more than a property, it's a legacy ranch designed to be experienced.
