1163 Big Bend Ln, Fredericksburg, TX 78624

Set on 12.6 ag-exempt acres in the gated community of River Bend, this is the kind of property that gets rarer with time-beautifully improved and quietly exceptional. Tucked at the end of a cul-de-sac, a private gate opens to grounds meticulously landscaped by Master Naturalists with mature post oaks scattered throughout, and a pond that is home to catfish and blue gill.

The 3,975-square-foot main residence was designed around the landscape. Large Andersen windows and doors anchor the rooms, drawing in natural light and views of the surrounding property. The primary rooms feature French doors opening to patios that wrap the home, truly bringing the outdoors in.

The layout offers 2 spacious bedrooms, w full baths, a powder bath, and an additional office or flex room. Generous living spaces, high ceilings, and a substantial stone fireplace create warmth and scale, while the kitchen and living area form the natural heart of the home.

Throughout the residence, extensive custom millwork and finely crafted cabinetry reflect the pride of ownership and attention to detail invested in the home's construction. Outdoor amenities include an additional fireplace, grilling kitchen, hot tub, outdoor shower, and attached three-bay carport.

Above the carport, a large bonus room provides ideal space for a studio, office, fitness room, or overflow accommodations. The second structure on the property includes a one-bedroom, one-bath apartment along with a 1,900-square-foot insulated workshop-offering flexibility for guests, hobbies, storage, or serious workspace.

Equally notable is the infrastructure. In 2013, the owners added a generator with dedicated propane tank. In addition, a full-house rainwater catchment system centered around a 72,000-gallon underground cistern was installed. Along with a 30-gallon per minute well, the rainwater catchment provides a secondary source of water for the property. Peaceful, private, and intelligently improved, this is a Texas Hill Country property of lasting quality.
