An 1846 San Antonio-area home built by the first settlers of Fredericksburg is now for sale

A home that grew up around Fredericksburg's Pape Log Cabin, an 1846 structure built communally by that Hill Country town's first 40 settlers, has hit the market for $850,000.

One Fredericksburg settler, Rev. Gottlieb Burchard Dangers, added onto the structure five years later, according to Texas Historical Commission records. Some of the walls were constructed in the Fachwerk, or half-timbered, style adopted by German pioneers. Raw wood and limestone are visible throughout the interior of the structure, including a massive limestone hearth inside the main living area.

In 1857, a second addition brought more rooms and a cellar to the residence, according to the sales listing, and a later owner completed another addition in 1996. The 1,447-square-foot property includes one bedroom, two bathrooms and modern kitchen appliances.

This home is listed by Brian Stamness with Phyllis Browning Co.
