About this property

Unrivaled long-range Hill Country views define this exceptional 170+ acre legacy ranch, offering breathtaking 360-degree panoramic vistas from one of the highest elevations in Hays County. Located just 7 miles west of Dripping Springs along Hwy 290, this rare property—held in the same family for over 100 years—presents a remarkable opportunity for a private estate, recreational retreat, or future development. The land unfolds with a beautiful contrast of terrain—level, buildable acreage at the front shaded by mature oaks, giving way to dramatic canyon landscapes with limestone shelves, grottos, and striking natural features. The setting is both scenic and private, with abundant native wildlife supported by a wildlife management plan that provides an agricultural tax exemption. Water features include natural springs, a stock tank, and a wet-weather creek forming the headwaters of Sycamore Creek. The property is fully fenced, with high fencing along the western boundary, and an established internal road system provides easy access throughout. Additional highlights include over 300 feet of Hwy 290 frontage, multiple access points via paved easements and Old Red Ranch Road, and two platted lots (~12 acres) within the Vista Grande Subdivision. Improvements include a 2,566 SF ranch home with 4 bedrooms and 3 baths, featuring updated flooring, fixtures, appliances, paint, HVAC, and a metal roof. Built with 2x6 exterior walls, the home offers durability and efficiency. Additional improvements include an attached 2-car garage and a second 2-car garage complete with a private office and half bath—perfect for a home business, studio, or flexible use space—along with a large porte-cochere, motorized louvered patio cover, outdoor fire pit, metal storage building, well house with reverse osmosis system, Starlink internet, and security system. A truly one-of-a-kind Hill Country offering in one of Central Texas’ most sought-after areas… and yes, the views are just that good.
