Few ranches offer the opportunity to build a home overlooking one of Texas' most iconic natural landmarks. Enchanted Rock Overlook Ranch encompasses 200 acres of scenic Hill Country terrain with commanding views of Enchanted Rock from multiple elevated locations, just 2.5 miles from the landmark as the crow flies.
With 246 feet of elevation change, sweeping ridgelines, and extensive paved road frontage wrapping around the base of the hills, the ranch offers an exceptional combination of scenery, privacy, and accessibility. Multiple potential homesites provide the opportunity to create a private Hill Country estate, family retreat, or recreational getaway.
The property is largely undeveloped but already benefits from valuable infrastructure, including a newer water well, electricity, interior caliche roads, partial fencing, and a small converted cabin with living accommodations. The ranch currently carries an agricultural valuation.
The ranch features 246 feet of elevation change, ranging from approximately 1,728 to 1,974 feet above sea level. Elevated ridgelines offer sweeping views of Enchanted Rock and the surrounding Hill Country, while rolling hillsides, native trees, and thicker vegetation along Welgehausen Road create a diverse and picturesque landscape.
Multiple elevated locations provide outstanding opportunities for a custom home designed to capture the views and natural beauty of the property.
A newer water well is located on the ranch and supplies water to the existing cabin. Well depth, production, and specifications are subject to verification. Well drilled on 3/21/2021 the Borehole bottom depth is 294' per seller.
The ranch's native vegetation and varied terrain provide excellent habitat for native Hill Country wildlife. The owners have taken a management-minded approach to hunting and maintaining wildlife populations.
