About this property
The ultimate Hill Country discovery: an elevated, wooded homesite showcasing long-range vistas that overlook nearly 100+/- acres of protected open space within an extraordinary, gated ranch community where privacy reigns supreme.

Lot 14 offers the rare combination of low-maintenance, wildlife-exempt land with the feel and benefit of expansive ranch ownership. Towhead Creek meanders through the community, accessible to owners and their guests by foot or horseback, while stocked ponds and 22+/- miles of private trails inspire daily connection to the land. An onsite concierge and resort-caliber amenities—including swimming, tennis, a putting green, fishing, hunting, and an equestrian center with an 8-stall barn—elevate the experience. A herd of longhorns grazes peacefully across the rolling acreage, and horses enjoy generous turnouts in large pastures. Located approximately one hour from both Austin and San Antonio, this Hill Country haven stands alone—blending seclusion, natural beauty, and refined recreational luxury to create a rare canvas for a legacy homestead.
