Chimney Hill Ranch , Kerrville, TX 78028(Kerr County)

Situated on 172 acres in Kerr County, just minutes from Kerrville, Chimney Hill Ranch presents a rare opportunity to own a slice of paradise with both sides of emerald-green, year-round Turtle Creek. The ranch is an easy drive from the historic charm of Fredericksburg, Comfort, and Boerne, or the vibrant attractions of San Antonio.

Chimney Hill Ranch's grand entry, flanked by mature sage and mountain laurel, is located on Turtle Creek Road. The ranch also fronts Highway 16, where selective brush clearing has created a natural privacy curtain. Paved roads throughout ensure all-season accessibility.

Water and Wildlife
The crown jewel of the property is its private, full access to both sides of Turtle Creek for half a mile. Fed by upstream springs, the creek is about 125 feet wide with depths ranging from 2 to 10 feet—ideal for swimming, floating, and relaxing. Two rock piers, a bulkhead, and sturdy metal canoe racks enhance the experience.

In addition, a 3-acre lake with a fountain, two equipped water wells, and a 6,000-gallon storage system supply water to the residences and other buildings. The ranch also holds pumping rights from Turtle Creek. A 15 HP, three-phase submersible pump provides irrigation, pond replenishment, and water to various parts of the property.

The ranch’s front section—about 75% of the land—is high-fenced and serves as an exotic wildlife production area with Axis deer, Fallow deer, blackbuck antelope, scimitar-horned oryx, and Grant’s zebras. The remaining land is low-fenced and home to native wildlife including white-tailed deer, ducks, Canadian geese, and fishable waters for anglers.

The low-fenced rear section lies across the creek and includes a tall, timbered hill that offers privacy to the headquarters compound. Trails suitable for hiking and ATV use crisscross the forested hillside.

Living
While Turtle Creek anchors the landscape, the heart of the property is a two-story, 7,628 sq. ft. custom home featuring four bedrooms, four bathrooms, and a three-car garage. Constructed from native limestone and stucco, the home blends seamlessly into the Hill Country landscape and offers exceptional views of the creek.

The home features longleaf pine floors reclaimed from historic San Antonio buildings, soaring ceilings, and stone arches connecting spacious rooms. Four interior fireplaces add warmth and elegance.

Custom woodwork crafted by an onsite artisan includes hand-carved cypress paneling in the formal dining room and wet bar. The hidden butler’s pantry features warming drawers, prep space, a Sonic ice machine, and ample dishware storage—cleverly tucked behind a movable wall panel.

In the chef’s kitchen, three-inch poured concrete countertops complement Viking and Sub-Zero appliances. The wet bar can be opened to the kitchen and great room or closed off for privacy. Two half-baths downstairs add to the ease of entertaining.

Upstairs, a second living room opens to a 2,000 sq. ft. Saltillo-tiled terrace with an outdoor fireplace. A tranquil courtyard, with a French fountain, can be accessed from the formal dining room or front of the house. A rocked fire pit offers another outdoor gathering space on the west side of the home.

Additional features include hand-crafted mahogany railings, antler chandeliers, imported Old-World doors, electric sunshades, and IPE wood decks.

Two master suites are located downstairs, while two guest suites are upstairs. The main master suite includes a fireplace, large sitting area, spa-style bath with imported stainless steel tub, dual vanities, walk-in shower, and spacious his-and-hers closets.

Guest & Recreational Amenities
The compound is designed for entertaining. A 1,396 sq. ft. open-concept pool house with fir beams features a heated indoor lap pool. A hot tub on the pool house deck overlooks Turtle Creek.

A 1,196 sq. ft., two-bedroom, two-bath modular guest home—with kitchen, living area, and a new metal roof (installed July 2025)—sits near a secret garden of raised beds and grapevines.
