It's just eight acres of land. Not much by Texas land standards. But those eight acres are breathtaking. Originally procured as a lease in 1899 by Architect William Norris Hagy of San Antonio, Texas. A few years later he purchase the land under a Spanish Land Grant. Fondly known today by locals as Hagy Camp. Located on the west prong of the Frio River approximately 12 miles from Leakey Texas, you'll find a little slice of Texas heaven. Step into nature and enjoy our private property river experience. No stress here looking for your spot on the river. This property is perfect for families or friends who enjoy outdoor activities. Fishing, swimming, paddleboarding, kayaking, are just a few of your outdoor activities to enjoy on our river. But, maybe... your one who loves the quiet of nature. Bird watching or experiencing the famous migration of the Monarch butterflies into Mexico is more your cup of tea. The river is here for you too. Our family members have celebrated many generational life events here on our river. At Hagy Heritage, we'd love to share this experience with your family. Whether you're looking for a romantic weekend getaway or a river weekend with family, our property is a perfect option. We boast private river access but, exactly does that mean? It means, with a short jaunt and down a set of stairs, you're on the river. Our modern cabin, built in 2017, sits above the river giving a panoramic view of the river not commonly seen in other VRBO's. It comfortably sleep 6-8 guests with two Master bedrooms downstairs with a queen bed each. The loft upstairs has five additional queen beds. The cabin has three full bathrooms. The master bathroom boasts a tub/shower combo, while the other two bathrooms have showers only. The kitchen is stocked with all the appliances you could need, as well as plates, cups, utensils, pots and pans, etc. We have a fully stocked coffee bar at your disposal as well. There is also a charcoal bbq grill outside, and a fire pit that is perfect for making s'mores after a day on the river. There is also a washer and dryer available for use. Step outside in to our Pavillion in the morning with your cup of coffee and enjoy the peaceful sounds of nature. If you get lucky, you just might get to see some critters making their morning commute along the river. Aoudad sheep, Axis and whitetail deer, our mated pair of Egret birds, or our shy mama fox that comes around every once in awhile are just a few of what might show themselves. If you enjoy bird watching, then you will love our property. We have everything from hummingbirds, egrets, cardinals, to summer tanagers and birds seasonally from Mexico. Please note that while we do have some harmless wildlife, there are also some wildlife that you should be wary of. In the last few years, the Black Bears have returned to their native Texas habitat. Our Real County Game Warden have tagged and cataloged these bears which are a protected species. There are also mountain lions and wild hogs so please, respect all wildlife and keep a healthy distance from them. Do not attempt to feed or interact with them. Let's keep our wildlife wild. Please Note: By law, anyone 17 or older is required to have a Texas fishing license. Guns are not permitted on the property. There is no hunting allowed, no tannerite, and no target practice. By Texas law (Health and Safety Code § 365.035), glass containers of any kind are not permitted in or on the river. Styrofoam is prohibited on the Frio River by the State of Texas, which includes, but is not limited to, coolers, cups, and food containers.
