254 Possum Haw Holly Trl.
About this property
One Home Site. Fourteen Private Acres You'll Never Have to Share. At 14 acres, this is the largest tract in RiverTree - and the privacy here isn't just a feature of the land, it's written into the rules that govern it. Open pasture rolls toward long views of Saddle Mountain, framed by native mesquite that draws real wildlife: axis and whitetail deer, Rio Grande turkey, and jackrabbits are regular visitors. HOA restrictions prohibit subdividing this lot or any of the lots around it, which means the seclusion and open views you have today are the seclusion and views you'll have for as long as you own it. The land itself tells a story of careful stewardship. What was once overgrazed pasture prone to mesquite takeover has been actively restored over the past two years through consistent mowing and mesquite management, returning the property to native grasses. The result is an estate-sized lot that feels park-like and open, not overgrown - and one that draws real wildlife into its fold. A nice building site near the cul-de-sac is outside the property's mapped flood hazard area, offering straightforward access and an easy path to building your home, leaving huge unobstructed views out your back door. The remaining acreage is wooded with mature, drought-hardy mesquite along a dry creek drainage on the northern boundary - the creek runs only during heavy rainfall, staying within its banks as designed - where a flood-control dike, anchored by mature mesquite roots, has held firm through recent regional flood events, including the 2025 Kerrville flood and the 2026 Uvalde-area flood. The shaded mesquite corridor along the dry creekbed feels like its own private trail system, crossed by game trails and bordered by a dike you can walk. Add a gated entrance, paved roads, one of the best HOA river parks in the Hill Country, and walking distance to the Frio River - with no short-term rentals to bring a revolving door of strangers next door - and this is a rare combination: a private, wildlife-rich retreat with guaranteed long-term seclusion.

About the Area
254 Possum Haw Holly Trl. is located in Leakey, Texas, in Real County. Real County is one of the most remote and scenic counties in the Texas Hill Country, a sparsely populated limestone plateau where the Frio River headwaters carve crystal-clear canyons through cedar and oak-covered hills. Leakey, the county seat, is a small community that serves as a gateway to some of the most spectacular river recreation in Texas.
The Frio River and its tributaries, including the Nueces River, originate in Real County, creating spring-fed canyons with exceptional water clarity. The terrain is rugged Edwards Plateau limestone with steep canyon walls, cedar brakes, and the occasional exposed granite formation. Lost Maples State Natural Area in neighboring Bandera County is accessible from Real County.
Leakey had an estimated population of 605 as of 2023. The 78873 zip code has a median household income of $44,688, and a median age of 57.5. The average household size is 2.36 people.
Hunting leases, river tourism, ranching, and a small but growing vacation rental economy centered on the Frio River draw visitors and buyers to Real County. The county attracts buyers seeking remote river canyon properties and large hunting ranches at prices reflecting the limited development infrastructure.
