Riverfront Ranch Retreat by Fred

Summary:
Welcome to the Bear Creek Crossing, a private, picturesque 235-acre estate with a 4 bedroom, 4 bath custom rock home (2 king beds, 3 queen beds) sitting above the banks of Bear Creek and overlooking a valley of lush rolling pastures and miles of trails through walnut, cherry and live oak stands. There is nothing better than relaxing with friends and family on the expansive back porch while watching the sunset over the waters of the crystal clear spring-fed lake.

The Space:
Bear Creek Crossing is the perfect place to enjoy the best of both worlds. Gorgeous, relaxing country mornings sipping coffee, watching deer and the occasional exotic play in the meadows across the creek, and your oasis following winery tours and shopping in historic Fredericksburg.


This home has been designed for hosting multi-family, couples, and friends getaways with its open space living concept and expansive dining and kitchen areas. From having a family dinner or playing horseshoes or pool there is so much to do at our home with your loved ones.


If you are bringing your children, they will never be bored and might sleep for days. While exploring the property, tell them to keep their eyes open for wild sheep, Axis, deer, and blackbucks but also be on the lookout for ancient fossils and fossilized dinosaur footprints. Also, feel free to let the kids catch (and release) fish.

This beautiful Texas home comes with a spacious kitchen with brand new appliances, dining space, and living area, making it the best place for you and your loved ones to enjoy a family game night or big cookouts!
