About Hunt, Texas
Thirteen miles west of Kerrville, Hunt proper lies at the juncture of the north and south forks of the Guadalupe River. It is considered to be a jewel of the Texas Hill Country and, with an elevation of 2000 to 2500 feet, is famous for its mild summer weather. It attracts abundant wildlife, so is a favorite area for hunters, and also boasts a concentration of children’s summer camps. Hunt’s population is small and is spread out over an extensive area covered by large ranches and other properties, as well as the summer camps, along both forks of the river. The quaint community itself includes a post office, an old country store, a small business complex of various services, several churches, and a lovely upscale restaurant on the river. Hunt has been called the “Aspen of Texas,” and is considered to be one of the most beautiful vacation spots in the state with its incredible array of well protected natural resources.
