Stone House Ranch stands apart as a rare opportunity to own a piece of Hill Country history. The 32.35 acre property features a meticulously restored German home, initially constructed in 1873. The house is nestled amongst majestic live oaks, creating a peaceful atmosphere. The gently rolling terrain, mature hardwoods, and open pastures create a beautiful Hill Country setting with stunning views. Located just 15 miles northeast of Fredericksburg, Stone House Ranch offers a peaceful, private retreat while remaining within easy reach of town, wineries, and other local amenities. Historic German homes in this condition are increasingly rare, and the combination of setting, architecture, and location makes this a truly special offering. The centerpiece of the ranch is a stunning two-story 2,888' sf historic limestone home that perfectly blends old-world craftsmanship with modern comfort. Originally constructed in 1873, the three-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bath residence showcases native hand-cut limestone walls, long leaf pine floors, and beaded board ceilings accented by large-exposed beams. Portions of the interior feature beautifully exposed rock walls, highlighting the home's original construction and adding warmth and character throughout. The dining room features a beautiful rock fireplace-one of three fireplaces found in the home. The kitchen is both warm and functional, with a gas range, farm sink, and generous countertop and cabinet space. Expansive covered porches provide ideal spaces to relax and enjoy breathtaking Hill Country vistas. The yard is fully fenced and thoughtfully landscaped, offering both beauty and privacy. The home is tucked beneath mature live oaks, surrounded by lush landscaping and a fenced yard, which creates an inviting, peaceful atmosphere. With its serene location and scenic surroundings, Stone House Ranch offers an ideal opportunity for full-time living, a weekend retreat, short-term rental, or a legacy property to be enjoyed for generations. Terrain includes a nice mix of improved pasture, native rangeland, and mature hardwoods. North Grape Creek bisects the front of the property for approximately 830' and is lined with large native pecan and cedar elm trees. A 5.4 acre field has historically been utilized for hay production and could easily be repurposed for livestock, cultivation, or potentially a small vineyard or orchard. Traveling north through the property, the elevation gently rises, revealing beautiful views back to the south. The north end of the ranch features a scenic grove of post oaks, which could be an exceptional secondary homesite or quiet retreat to enjoy the Hill Country landscape. In addition to the main residence, the ranch includes a 2,900' sf two-story hay barn that provides ample storage and utility space for equipment, feed, or future ranch improvements. The ranch supports a healthy population of native wildlife, including whitetail deer, axis deer, turkey, and dove. The diversity of cover and the presence of the creek corridor create ideal conditions for both viewing and hunting. One water well provides water to the main home and barn area. North Grape Creek serves as a seasonal tributary that can temporarily flow with adequate rainfall. While not a constant water source, the creek bed and surrounding hardwoods add character and provide an inviting natural habitat for wildlife.
