About This Property

TWO HOMES ON ONE PROPERTY! OPPORTUNITY FOR STR OR GUEST HOUSE, MULTI-GENERATIONAL, RETREAT OR RANCH.

Welcome to your own little slice of the old Morris Ranch in the picturesque Fredericksburg and Texas Hill Country. The story behind this old ranch, now ghost town, is not only fascinating but also why this cozy retreat is so unique. The ranch was once used as thoroughbred horse ranch and to this day, the land has bluestem grass. Amelia and the other donkeys and deer here seem to approve of this offering from the land. As the town grew and services were needed, the owners of Morris Ranch built a school, hotel, post office and general store to offer services for the community. When the restrictions in gambling were created, the Morris Ranch suffered and their income from the race track caused them to sell some of the property to cotton farms. This now ghost town is a historic landmark, but the signs of it’s influence still exist.

The primary residence is a two story home with charming and decorator touches. The back porch is often referred to as the “pollinator highway”, and offers hummingbird and butterfly sightings throughout the day. This house was designed for just as much living outside as inside with a large back patio next to the garden and patio access from the bedrooms upstairs.

The second residence is a one story detached building that could be used as a guest house, office areas, or income producing as a short term rental/airbnb. Each room in the guest house has a small kitchenette area and bathroom, as well as a shared laundry area.

Not only is the property in an ideal location, with proximity to local schools, amenities and downtown…the property also offers no restrictions, covered parking that would be suitable for an RV and opportunities for tax savings with agriculture or wildlife exemptions. Enjoy the beauty and tranquility Fredericksburg has to offer from the comfort of this serene retreat.
