Located in Gillespie County just 15 minutes north of Fredericksburg, Comanche Rock Ranch neighbors Enchanted Rock State Natural Area. The 630± acre ranch, which fronts Ranch Road 965, is ideally suited as a secluded private retreat or an incomegenerating destination.
Moving from south to north, the terrain changes from gently rolling open fields and hay meadows dotted with majestic oaks to craggy granite rock outcrops and ridges amid native oak trees and browse species that make up exceptional wildlife habitat.
The high-fenced ranch is easily accessible on a network of improved roads. The ranch has several agricultural fields including a vineyard, hay fields and wildlife food plots.
The 208± acre southern section boasts a horse barn, stalls and a round pen. The northern section, which includes 422± acres, is home to white-tailed deer, axis deer and blackbuck antelope.
Recently, an eight-stall horse barn with a tack room, feed room and bathroom was added to the northern section. The new barn measures 70 ' x 75 ' with 12-foot overhangs.
Sandy Creek runs through the northwest corner of Comanche Rock Ranch and six stock ponds provide surface water. Several active springs along the drainage areas hold water throughout normal rainfall years.
In addition, Comanche Rock Ranch has water rights to a deep well across RR 965 and has eight water wells. There also is a limestone rock-lined underground water cistern on the north property. Five large-capacity aboveground water storage tanks serve the compounds and several water troughs provide additional watering holes for animals.
The ranch features a north and south headquarters. The centerpiece of the north headquarters is the custom-designed home which takes full advantage of views of Enchanted Rock. It features an open kitchen, a huge living room with a soaring fireplace, a glassed-in corner room, a screened porch dining room overlooking the yard and pool areas. The master suite not only includes a bath, but a screened sun porch with windows framing Enchanted Rock.
The hunting lodge, which is a converted vintage barn, anchors a separate compound. In addition to three downstairs bedrooms with three private baths, the second-story bunkhouse can sleep up to eight people.
The lodge has a large downstairs living room/game room and full kitchen as well as an outdoor gathering area with a gazebo, barbecue area, swimming pool, fire pit and games.
The original farmhouse dating back to the early 20 th century delivers additional lodging.
An old country store transported from Central Texas has a game processing area as well as a walk-in cooler and provides ample storage space.
At the southern headquarters, the four and a half-bedroom/three-bath main house is built on the limestone bones of a circa 1900 German farmhouse and nestled into a beautiful oak grove. The home was recently refreshed with new floors, paint and a bathroom remodel.
Comanche Rock Ranch’s potential as a personal retreat or a commercial enterprise is limited only by the new owner’s vision. Come see a life beyond the ordinary. . .
