OVERVIEW

The Don Strange Ranch Kendall Parcel offers a unique opportunity to acquire a historic piece of the Texas Hill Country with the Kendall Casita offering 1000 sq foot, 2 bedroom and one bath home built in 2019 surrounded by live oaks and established event/venue facilities.

A truly picturesque locale, this acreage also contains established herds of axis, white tail and turkey for the outdoor enthusiasts. Owners may enjoy beautiful views of the property from the covered front porch of the Kendall Casita. There is ample room for additional casitas to be built to create a Bed and Breakfast or Short-Term Rental Community. The Kendall parcel also contains 5 stall horse barn and the Kendall Creek Pavilion event space which is approx. 4,000 square feet with a 300-person capacity. The spring-fed Zinc Creek flows through the property offering live water views and ends with a half-acre lake. The property is currently used as a wedding/ corporate retreat and entertainment venue. The history of the property dates to the mid-1800s when German Prince Carl of Solms-Braunfels came over to establish a presence on Texas land. Developed by Nicolaus Zink, a Bavarian-born civil engineer, in 1868, this ranch is an important piece of Texas history. Zink was a crucial part of the Germans success in the Hill Country by respecting Comanche territory and successfully navigating unrest, disease, and financial difficulties. He eventually became responsible for about half of the German immigrants in the Hill Country. Following the initial development of this ranch by Zink, Don Strange and his family further developed and beautifully maintained this piece of history beginning in 1952. It has since earned an exceptional reputation statewide for providing impeccable service, hosting fabulous events, concerts and providing world-class entertainment. From small, private events to large gatherings welcoming thousands, this fantastic venue is great for celebrating weddings, corporate and sports events.
