908 N Crockett St, Fredericksburg, TX 78624

PECAN GROVE RETREAT - now UNDER NEW MANAGEMENT - is a rare offering in the Fredericksburg STR market — a genuine 1900s Victorian homestead on a half-acre lot with the kind of outdoor amenities that keep guests booking year after year. Walk through the classic white picket fence and the house speaks for itself: sweeping double-level balconies, original gingerbread trim, and the kind of stately presence that photographs can't fully capture. Built in the early 1900s and thoughtfully updated, Pecan Grove Retreat has been operating as a short-term rental with an active STR permit. Inside, vaulted ceilings and a river rock fireplace anchor a living room that guests call "cozy," "charming," and "larger than expected." Four king and queen bedrooms across two floors comfortably sleep eight. The full kitchen opens to a dining room that flows directly to the backyard — the real star of the property. The outdoor space is designed for groups. A private pool, six-person hot tub, covered outdoor bar and kitchen, fire pit, and mature pecan trees across a half-acre lot create the kind of Hill Country backyard that's increasingly impossible to find at this price point in-town. The detached "Wine and Whiskey Garage" — a fully equipped indoor/outdoor game room with arcade games, a 60" smart TV, disco lights, and a fog machine — is a unique amenity that no competitor in this market can match and one guests consistently rave about. At just a 3-minute drive from Marktplatz, the property sits in a quiet residential pocket close enough to enjoy everything downtown Fredericksburg has to offer, yet far enough to feel private and unhurried — something several guests have specifically called out as a selling point. The adjacent vacant city lot (0.29 acres) is available for separate purchase, offering a rare opportunity to expand, add a guest cottage, or simply preserve the open space and privacy that define this property.
