Enchanted Rock Overlook Ranch

Enchanted Rock Overlook Ranch | 200 Acres
743 Welgehausen Road | Fredericksburg, Gillespie County, Texas

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.
