More information

Land: The Turtle Creek Retreat offers the best of the Texas Hill Country, 47 acres with both sides of the deep year ‘round live water, gentle terrain, and productive soil suitable for intense cultivation. Turtle Creek is a spring fed creek, rising in central Kerr County and flows 25 miles into the Guadalupe River. The dam just beyond the property creates a deep, wide stretch of crystal-clear private water, perfect for swimming, kayaking, and fishing. Concrete stairs lead from the fire ring and entertaining area down to the creek and the concrete sidewalk that spans over 1,000 ft along the water’s edge. Across the creek, Live Oaks line the terrain, providing privacy and scenery, along with cover for the roaming game animals. The property features minimal flood plain coverage, with multiple build sites located out of the area, overlooking the water. Electricity is found near the build site, run underground. Water wells in the area are approximately 500 ft in depth and provide a generous 50+ GPM flow.

Productive soils are found on the property, with nearly 40 acres suitable for cultivation. The pasture is currently used for Coastal Hay production, typically providing multiple cuts every year. Across the creek is a well-established vineyard, a testament to the soil’s productivity. There are 2 areas that catch an abundance of rainwater runoff that could be converted into ponds for livestock.

Wildlife: Axis, Whitetail, and Blackbuck roam the Turtle Creek Retreat and surrounding properties, providing a year ‘round hunting experience. There is very low pressure on the animals allowing for minimal work to capture a trophy animal or meat to process. In addition to hunting, the creek offers an awesome bass fishing experience the whole family can enjoy.
