The Johnson Ranch, encompassing 100.26 acres in Gillespie County, offers the highly desirableand very rarecombination of elbow room and privacy just minutes from the heart of Fredericksburg, Texas and its sought-after amenities. Situated at 1085 Hollmig Lane, the ranch is just about two minutes from the high school and junior high and five minutes from the local HEB supermarket. It sits equidistant from Highway 16 and Highway 87.
The land, once home to a peach orchard, rolls gently. The front one-third was cleared and cultivated but has returned to open grassland. The remainder is native Hill Country habitat featuring post oaks, live oaks and Spanish oaks as well elms, mesquite and cedar. Native game including white-tailed deer, wild turkeys and dove come-and-go from the low-fenced ranch as do free-ranging exotics such as Axis deer.
For those wanting to become part of the wine industry that has earned Fredericksburg the nickname Napa 2.0, the soil at Johnson Ranch is deeper and richer than many Hill Country properties. A winery could take root here or the property could remain an enviable family estate or perhaps become a commercial hospitality venue. Its potential is only limited by the new owners imagination.
The three-bedroom/two-bath house encompasses about 1,700 square feet. The existing house could provide a comfortable interim living space for anyone wanting to build their home on their dream property. Then it could serve as a guest house or perhaps an Air Bnb or rental.
The ranch has two water wells. One is active.
With its ideal location, unsurpassed privacy and abundant elbow room, Johnson Ranch is home to endless possibilitiesand opportunities that beyond the imagination.
