Dripping Springs Crown Jewel

Welcome to a one-of-a-kind property experience located 30 miles from downtown Austin. Perched on the top of a hill, this property overlooks canyon topography with Texas Hill Country views as far as the eye can see.

Situated on 22.6 unrestricted acres, the property can be utilized as a private residence, retreat space, wedding + event venue, wellness center & spa, boutique hotel winery, restaurant or development. With roughly 280 feet of HWY 290 frontage ready for a restaurant, winery or tasting room (or any commercial or dream endeavour).

The property is currently a vibrant retreat lodge (with casitas and venue), in what is known by Texas Monthly, as the Wedding Capital of Texas. The as-of-yet undeveloped commercial section of the property, (roughly 280 feet on scenic and winding highway 290 frontage), adds imaginative options for an investor. Located 5 miles from the charming town of Dripping Springs, 30 minutes from Austin and only a short drive to San Antonio, Johnson City, Fredericksburg and the award winning wineries of Hye, Tx.

Accessed by a scenic driveway directly off Hwy 290, the property's main lodge sits high above numerous acres and a collection of wet weather limestone springs, waterfalls and natural watering holes. The play between interior and exterior spaces is a common theme throughout the architectural design, with the use of breezeways to separate living spaces and wooden walkways over blowing grasses. A linear pool underscores the high balcones vistas from the back of the lodge and bedrooms. A cactus lined, Spanish styled sunken courtyard plays the part of natural foyer, embracing all who enter. The detached casitas, sleeping 20, are set back from the main lodge, in seclusion and harmony with the live oaks and wild flowers.

Unique amenities include a 6,000 sq ft open air flex space used for larger events, gatherings or helicopter pad. Additionally there are: a 30,000 gallon rainwater cistern with a backup well, (easily transition-able for an o-grid property), horse trails, a commercial septic, a covered outdoor catering space and a canyon and ravine, ideal for restorative exploring and hiking and further development. Parking currently accommodates 100 vehicles.

The property enjoys a wildlife exemption for tax purposes (which took 6 years to obtain).
