PROPERTY

110 ACRES

LOCATION

The property consists of 110 Acres, more or less, located in the prestigious UPPER TURTLE CREEK area of southern Kerr County about 15 miles south of Kerrville, Texas. The access is by State Highway # 16 with frontage on FM 1273.

THE LAND

This premier Exotic Game Ranch was formally a part of the historic Aime Real Ranch that was founded about 1860 by three Real brothers who migrated from Europe and had the pick of ranch land in the Kerrville area and wisely chose the Upper Turtle Creek area because of the special features of the land, i.e., excellent grass pastures and the great Live Oak, Post Oak and Spanish Oak trees plus the abundance of spring-fed water.

The terrain is basically very gentle rolling Hill Country hills & valleys with some high plateau country with views.

TREES

THE SPRING-FED CREEK

Tomas Creek, a flowing spring-fed creek, meanders through the property for about 1,000 feet and provides crystal clear water for fishing, swimming and/or water for the game/livestock. A concrete dam creates a small lake.

THE GAME

The ranch owner(s), past & present, have maintained a game management program that has produced an outstanding population of both native & exotic game.  Normally, the following types of game are found on the ranch:

NATIVE GAME:  Whitetail Deer & Wild Turkey
EXOTIC GAME:  Axis Deer – Sika Deer – Red Deer – Blackbuck Antelope & Fallow Deer

IMPROVEMENTS

The focal point of the ranch is the main residence that can be best described as a Spanish-Mediterranean Villa located on a hill overlooking a scenic valley, creek & lakes. 

The interior continues the Spanish-Mediterranean decor that features high ceiling, a spacious master suite, a large fully equipped kitchen that opens onto the deck & pool area with views of the valley/lake area.  Other rooms include a large family room and a separate media room.

The design of the villa compound provides for comfortable indoor & outdoor living & entertainment.

Free form rock steps lead from the Villa down to the lake area with a pavilion nestled on the bank of one of the lake.
