271 SMOKEHOUSE RD

Where history, craftsmanship, and refined Hill Country living converge, this extraordinary 2.7-acre Fredericksburg homestead offers a rare opportunity just approximately 2 miles from Historic Main Street and 2 miles from Gillespie County Airport (T82). Behind a private gated entrance, a remarkable 4,120 SF Pioneer limestone residence stands as the centerpiece of this beautifully appointed legacy property. Built with the character and craftsmanship of a bygone era, the 4-bedroom, 3-bath residence features two generous living areas, exceptional limestone construction, distinctive architectural details, and a thoughtful blend of historic character with modern luxury. The chef's kitchen showcases high-end appliances and custom cabinetry while overlooking an exceptional resort-style setting complete with swimming pool, spa, al fresco dining, inviting porches, and fire pit-creating an effortless environment for entertaining or quiet Hill Country evenings. Historic details throughout the grounds add a sense of authenticity and provenance, including an impressive hand-dug limestone-walled well and a vintage Aeromotor windmill. A separate high-production well and 9,600-gallon storage tank provide additional water capacity and peace of mind. The property's versatile improvements extend well beyond the main residence. A detached, climate-controlled studio offers flexible space for work, creative pursuits, or guests, while the multifunctional barn features loft storage, a secure gun room, and an insulated overhead door-well suited for woodworking, automobile restoration, a home gym, workshop, or other specialized uses. Beyond the manicured grounds, a fully fenced pasture provides room for livestock, wildlife, gardening, and 4-H projects. Raised irrigated garden beds add to the property's exceptional lifestyle appeal, while the acreage and mature landscape create a private country setting rarely found this close to Fredericksburg's historic core.
