These amenities, to name a few, include the deep-water Homestead park on the Frio River, activities ranging from kayaking to flyfishing, and the services of a full-time property management team.

Meet the Founders of Frio Cañon, a Texas Hill Country Retreat

Posted by Abigail Dalgleish on August 04, 2011

From the earliest stages, Frio Cañon has been a labor of love. David Dalgleish, owner of Austin-based Dalgleish Construction Company, discovered the land that is now Frio Cañon in 2007 while looking for a plot of land to build vacation cottages for his family. He was looking for an easily accessible retreat where his wife and five daughters (and eventually their families) could spend holidays and vacations together. He wanted the privacy of a traditional ranch, but one without the sense of isolation that often doesn’t appeal to youngsters.

Regents Football Retreat

Posted by Abigail Dalgleish on August 19, 2010

At the beginning of this month, Regents School of Austin held their second-annual Football Retreat at Frio Cañon. The Junior Varsity and Varsity Football teams spent two days camping on the property. They enjoyed time together as a team preparing for the upcoming season and a little play time as well. In between tree swings into the Frio River, ridiculous haircuts for the Freshmen and tons of barbecue, the group also worked together to help build the stone curbs you see around the Frio Cañon property.

Bridge Dedication

Posted by Abigail Dalgleish on July 27, 2010

It is important for Frio Cañon to respect the history of Real County and particularly, to honor the area pioneers that helped form the roots of the local community.  Therefore, we are planning to dedicate the Frio Cañon Bridge in honor of local pioneer, Sabra Adeline Mear.  The bridge will be named "Granny Mear Bridge".  Sabra's son, John Mear, went to Germany and married Maria Mear, who still oversees ranching operations at the John Mear Ranch, which at one point, included the land we now call Frio Cañon.  Below, see a photo of Sabra Adline "Granny Mear" around 1910, in...
