About the Area
114 Trickling Creek Rd 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.
