Why April Okerholm chose Fredericksburg

Legacy Ranch was a dream come true and is an incredibly special place for our family and friends. Fredericksburg has been a sweet spot in our hearts for years and we wanted to merge the beauty of the Texas hill country with the story of some of our family members and honor those who have had a big impact on the world. Although they're beautiful year-round, the houses inspire the magic of Christmas when each house and every room is impeccably decorated the first week of December. Past guests tell us their family memories were greatly enriched when they celebrated Christmas here. The Dr. Okerholm Loghaus provides a cozy and quaint Christmas with sparkling lights and nature-inspired decor. The Sieben Salthaus incorporates its German heritage with Nutcrackers, brightly colored ornaments and more than a few Christmas trees throughout the house. The N.K. Harper Barnhouse holds a massive 14 foot star-topped tree with decorations true to Texas and the house's namesake. The columns of the barn are accented with long strands of garland and sweet Christmas decor you've likely never see before. While acquiring the property, we found a magical sweet spot that we knew would capture the incredible magic and abundant love this place holds...starting in Fall 2020, guests can be married here under the glowing shady post oaks & massive ambient chandeliers in Legacy Chapel.

What makes this house unique

We think you'll appreciate the private gated gentleman's ranch along with the Texas hill country views, wildlife and serenity. The N.K. Harper Barnhouse is the BEST Bicycle / Cyclist-friendly house for resting bike storage and your favorite cyclist friends too! For those looking to be married or renew vows, Legacy Ranch will feature Legacy Chapel beginning Fall 2020. Wedding ready Fall 2020! Legacy Chapel is a majestic steel silhouette of a country church nestled in a perfect keyhole shape grove of shady Post Oaks which are filled with the sounds of native songbirds. Designed by April Okerholm of The Savant Home in collaboration with Core Custom Metal Works in Jarrell, Texas, this one-of-a-kind Chapel is going to become the enchanting backdrop that your guests will always remember. The simplicity of this open-air steel marvel is symbolic of your iron-clad promise to love, cherish and honor your love. Whether it be at dusk or you choose an intimate night time wedding, the canopy of trees will be illuminated while three 5' tall, 5.5' wide chandeliers provide the perfect sparkle of light. Legacy Ranch Guest Houses sleeps 26 across three historic guest houses on a private gated ranch located just 8 minutes from Main Street in Fredericksburg, Texas. Legacy Chapel can host up to 100 for your wedding day while the couple enjoys their entire wedding weekend on the ranch with their closest 26 friends and family. Legacy Chapel will be complete in time for Fall 2020 Weddings. Bella Chateau, a French-Texas Hill Country style cottage, is planned for later in 2021 and will privately host the bride and groom.
