Welcome to one of the most coveted and expansive lots in the Headwaters Section of Frio Cañon, a rare 3.059-acre sanctuary offering direct river frontage on the Frio and additional access to Bybee Creek. Surrounded by water on three sides, the lot is gently cradled by Bybee Creek at the rear, which spills into the picturesque Hermit Hole — a hidden ponding spot where the creek meets the Frio. This peaceful waterfall-fed basin not only adds a one-of-a-kind water feature but also creates soothing natural soundscapes and enchanting treetop views. With this unique blend of privacy and immersive nature, it’s easily one of the most secluded and special properties in the community.
Set within a community intentionally designed to preserve nature and nurture connection, this lot invites a home that’s both timeless and experience-driven. Two site plan concepts from a collaborating architect offer inspired pathways for building:
✧ Option 1: Blufftop Privacy with Guest Retreat
Imagine a bluffside guest house tucked into the trees, with hedged paths that nod to Nantucket charm, offering both privacy and a magical sense of arrival. Think secret garden meets Texas wilderness perfect for creating layered outdoor experiences, intimate retreats, and a home that unfolds with every step.
✧ Option 2: Riverfront Living with Front-Row Views
The second concept places the main home and guest quarters near one another, with a meandering bluff trail for hikers and bikers below. Echoing the feel of Harbor Springs, Michigan, this layout celebrates both nature and neighborliness allowing for gentle people-watching while still maintaining privacy and quiet. It's a lifestyle that blends barefoot luxury with community soul.
From fishing and floating to stargazing and stillness, Frio Cañon is more than a destination it’s a legacy. As an owner, you’ll enjoy access to 100+ acres of protected wilderness, community gathering spaces like the beloved Red House, and the kind of river life that’s increasingly rare to find.
WHERE GETTING AWAY, BRINGS YOU CLOSER TOGETHER
