Roads & Entry

The property is accessed from RR 1376 and Agarita Ln.., which is a paved private road (easement). There is a granite gravel road that leads to the house from where you enter the property at the northeast corner of the property.  There is additional access provided by a 1.58 ac permanent recorded easement of varying width from the southwest corner of the property to Luckenbach-Cain City Rd.  This easement is only lightly used.

Restrictions

The property is subject to an established set of deed restrictions which serve to maintain the integrity of the area. The full set of restrictions may be found in this packet.

Pipeline

There is a 42” natural gas pipeline which runs along the northern boundary of the property for 879’ and sits within a 50’ permanent right-of-way.  The pipeline will be operated by Permian Highway Pipeline, LLC (“PHP”) and is expected to be in service in early 2021.

On October 25, 2019 the Seller of the property was awarded $320,000 in damages by a panel of Special Commissioners in a hearing in Gillespie County.  On or about January 24, 2020, the Court entered an Order accepting deposit of the amount of the Special Commissioners’ award.

On or about November 5, 2019, Permian Highway Pipeline, LLC filed an Objection to the Special Commissioners’ award, which is an indication that PHP will appeal the award.  The $320,000 may withdrawn from the court by the owner of the property at any time, but the owner has chosen not to do so.  If PHP is successful in their appeal, there is a risk that the award could be reduced, whereby the owner of the property at that time would be required to repay the difference.  The current landowner is represented Roy R. Brandys, Esq. of Barron, Adler, Clough, & Addo, LLP and any agreement between these parties will terminate upon closing.  The Buyer will have the option to retain Mr. Brandys for representation in this ongoing matter.

Upon closing, the Seller conveys and assigns to Buyer all of the Seller’s right, title, and interest in the Condemnation Proceeding including any and all awards, judgements, and/or decrees including all compensation of any kind and nature, remainder damages, and sums on deposit with the court.
