Discover an exceptional opportunity to own a unique piece of Texas land in Somervell County, perfectly positioned directly across from the iconic Fossil Rim Lodge. This scenic property offers a rare combination of privacy, accessibility, and natural beauty. A seasonal creek meanders through the acreage, attracting native wildlife and enhancing the property’s peaceful ambiance. The land currently benefits from a wildlife exemption, providing potential tax advantages while preserving the natural character of the landscape. County water service is already in place through the Somervell County Water District, sourced from the Wheeler Branch Reservoir, eliminating the need for a well and adding to the ease of development. Gently rolling topography, clusters of native hardwoods, and open spaces make it an ideal setting for a private residence, weekend retreat, or recreational haven. The location offers convenient access to Glen Rose while still feeling like a secluded escape. Nearby attractions include Fossil Rim Wildlife Center, where exotic animals roam in natural habitats, Dinosaur Valley State Park with its iconic fossilized tracks and scenic trails, and historic downtown Glen Rose, home to charming shops, local dining, and the beautiful Paluxy River. The area is rich in history, outdoor recreation, and small-town hospitality, making it one of Texas’ hidden gems. Building restrictions will apply to preserve the integrity and aesthetic of the land, ensuring long-term value and harmony with the surrounding natural environment. This is a rare offering in a coveted location. Schedule your private, UTV-guided tour today and explore everything this extraordinary property has to offer. Stand beside the creek, breathe in the Hill Country air, and envision your future here—surrounded by wildlife, water, and possibility.
