Attractive landscaping has been done to provide a fenced garden area, meditation areas, rock lined walkways, and two large patio areas, one having a metal fire-pit, for those cozy evenings to enjoy the “Dark Skies” with friends and family.

Hunting, hiking trails, fossils, artifacts, caves, incredible views for photograpy enthusiasts, star gazing and endless discoveries. Looking for a great state park and its amenities, your location puts you 10 miles from your doorstep to Garner State Park (#1 TX State Park).There are two cabins, the main having lots of large windows, a modern open kitchen, one bedroom and one bathroom. A two-sided covered wrap-around porch encourages you to “sit a spell.”

The second cabin is smaller but packs a big punch for views from its covered front porch. City water/utilities are in place plus a grandfathered well. There is a wood shed and two (2) full sized railroad containers for storage or conversion, many features can be reviewed in amenities/conveyance documents. There are no restrictions on the land so you can enjoy it as you see fit. To round out the package, you have deeded access to the Frio River about a mile away. This Realtor actually saw the hill country for the first time in late 1979 from this particular box canyon, and has been in Leakey ever since!

There are a number of legends concerning lost or abandoned mines and buried treasure in the Real County area. Some evidence indicates that a smelter once operated at the San Lorenzo Mission, and John Bell Hood, who prior to the Civil War commanded the military outpost at Camp Wood, reported signs of silver extraction (presumably by Spaniards), at the “Pepper Mine,” a shaft to the south of Meridian Mountain in the western part of the county.
