Texas Hill Country is a spectacular region of twenty–five counties and 51 cities and towns in central Texas northwest of San Antonio and west of Austin, covering an area larger than West Virginia. Known for its clear streams, ancient oak and cedar trees, Hill Country offers breathtaking beauty with a relaxed country atmosphere. The area has recently become the center of Texas’ wine country and exceptional vineyards and wineries now dot the rolling landscape.
The region welcomes over 5 million visitors annually who seek the unparalleled diversity of wildlife and the reputation for friendly folks who greet you with a heartfelt "Howdy, y’all!" Featuring outdoor recreation such as boating, fishing, hiking and golf with historic ranches and towns such as New Braunfels and San Marcos, this cherished part of Texas will not disappoint.
This picturesque region is growing at a rate twice that of the rest of the state of Texas. Private communities featuring golf courses, lakes and riverfront property can be found in nearly every town. Once a land of ranchers, there is a tradition of horses dating back over a hundred years and private ranch land can be found throughout Hill Country. Some of the well known areas of the Hill Country include Bandera, the cowboy capital of the world; Boerne, with its antiques, arts and crafts; Fredericksburg, renowned for its German heritage; Lake Marble Falls, a popular water recreation destination; and Gruene with Texas’ oldest dance hall, the famous Gruene Hall.
Rivers are a major part of the Hill Country landscape and some of the most popular are the San Marcos River, whose cool waters emanate from mammoth springs within the town of San Marcos, the Guadalupe River, loved by tubers for exciting rapids and sparkling clear water, and the Comal, the shortest river in the world and the one of the largest springs in Texas with 8 million gallons of crystal clear water flowing out every hour.
The entire region is blessed with magnificent lake, riverfront and equestrian real estate as well as some of the nation’s finest retirement property. Allow US Private Communities to be your guide to all that magnificent Texas Hill Country has to offer.
