1292 UPPER TURTLE CREEK

$1.75 M | 39 ACRES | KERRVILLE, TX

Elevated Hill Country Living.

Set high on 39 private acres, Upper Turtle Creek delivers long-range views, rare live water, and true seclusion—without being remote. Just minutes from Kerrville, this is where wide-open land, quiet surroundings, and everyday access finally come together.

Designed for Independence.

At the center of the property is a custom home with attached guest quarters, connected by a covered breezeway around a private courtyard. The layout functions as one refined compound—ideal for hosting while preserving separation and privacy.

Ownership is simplified through rainwater collection and filtration, a deep well, and on-site solar and wind power. These systems reduce dependency and support true lock-and-leave or off-grid-capable living.

Live Water. Managed Land. Real Privacy.

This 39-acre retreat includes owned-on-both-sides frontage along 400± feet of live-water Tomas Creek, improved for swimming, fishing, and kayaking. A natural spring feeds the system in non-drought years.

The land lies within a gated, game-fenced setting and benefits from wildlife management with an agricultural tax exemption. Native species and select exotics roam a landscape shaped by thoughtful stewardship—creating a property that isn’t just beautiful, but intentionally maintained for long-term value.
