High-Style Hill Country Compound
186± Acres of Ranch Elegance, Designed for Living Beautifully and Boldly
Welcome to a rare blend of bold Texas beauty and elevated design where modern luxury meets wide-open freedom across 186± pristine acres in the sought-after Dripping Springs countryside. Just 25 miles from downtown Austin, this ranch is more than a home; it’s a legacy in the making.
Enter through custom iron gates and follow the tree-lined driveway, flanked by majestic Heritage oak trees and wide-open pastures, seeded with winter rye and nourished by three private wells. The landscape unfolds into a one-of-a-kind private compound complete with four distinct residences, a spring-fed creek system, and stunning water features, including a tranquil one-acre pond that cascades into a five-acre lake, both stocked with largemouth bass.
At the heart of the estate is the main compound, set across 60± acres of high-fenced pasture. This area hosts five refined structures, including a four-bedroom, four-and-a-half-bathroom main residence featuring three living areas, wide-plank hardwood and stone floors, and soaring reclaimed antique timbers that infuse the space with warmth and soul. A saltwater pool, nestled beside serene lounging areas, offers a resort-like escape under the Texas sky.
The master suite house is a retreat of its own, with a spa-inspired bathroom that opens into a private courtyard ideal for quiet mornings or evenings under the stars. Nearby, a guest cottage features its own chef’s kitchen, screened-in porch with a cozy fireplace, and flexible studio-style living space.
Thoughtful design and craftsmanship are woven throughout: Presidio steel doors, Leuder stone sinks with Rohl fixtures, and Sub-Zero and Wolf appliances complement a kitchen made for both everyday use and elevated entertaining. Six wood and gas fireplaces are thoughtfully placed throughout the residences, adding ambience to every room.
But this is more than a luxurious residence, this is a working ranch built with intention and story. The barn, built by the late Dale Dobbs, a protégé of legendary builder Braxton Dixon, was crafted from reclaimed 19th-century timbers from a Wisconsin barn. Inside, you'll find custom horse stalls, a feed room, tack room, hay loft, office, and ten working cattle pens, blending traditional craftsmanship with modern functionality. A full-sized riding arena offers an ideal setting for training or leisure.
This estate is equipped for peace of mind and convenience, with 16 security cameras, remote-controlled access gates, and multiple heavy equipment barns tucked into the northern pastures.
