Key Facts
Description
Set just one block off Fredericksburg’s iconic Main Street, 104 E. Austin Street offers a rare combination of historic significance, prime walkability, and proven income performance. Originally constructed in the 1770s, this authentic log cabin was carefully decommissioned and relocated from Pennsylvania to Fredericksburg in the 1980s, where it was meticulously reassembled and preserved. Today, it stands as one of the area’s most distinctive and successful short-term rental properties. Situated on a 0.11± acre lot, the property includes the main historic cabin along with a separate guest house, creating flexible accommodations that appeal strongly to overnight guests seeking an immersive Fredericksburg experience. Rich architectural details—exposed log construction, handcrafted finishes, and period character—are thoughtfully complemented by modern comforts, private outdoor spaces, and a fenced courtyard that enhances privacy and guest appeal. This property is a top-performing STR, generating an average annual gross booking revenue of $210,000, with consistent demand driven by its unbeatable location, historic charm, and proximity to Fredericksburg’s dining, shopping, events, and wine scene. Its walk-to-everything setting provides a competitive advantage that few properties can replicate. Haussegen Platz offers an enduring Hill Country investment. With established revenue, a premier location, and an irreplaceable story, this property presents a rare opportunity to own a piece of early American history. Benefit from Texas's strong short-term rental market, whether as an income-producing asset or a commercial hospitality offering.
