Winding through the highest mountains in Real and Edwards Counties, the three roads known as the Twisted Sisters are considered the most scenic drive in the Texas Hill Country. The Wapiti Springs Ranch, a 2,511-acre raw slice of Texas heaven, sits on the most pristine and visually stunning of the Sisters, paved Ranch Road 335. Bordering several other giant ranches, this conveniently located and affordably priced property is only 2 left turns from San Antonio or Houston. Although it enjoys outstanding privacy, this low-fenced gem is still just 1 hour from HEB, Walmart, a large assortment of restaurants, and the full aviation services of the Kerrville-Kerr County Airport.
