Byrd Ranch

Welcome to this stunning 28.53 acre property just 10 miles south of Johnson City and 18 miles west of Dripping Springs. Located in Byrd Ranch Estates, a gated ranch community of 25+ acre tracts accessed by an incredibly picturesque entrance over a bridge/dam on Miller Creek and nestled among hill country vineyards/distilleries.

One highlight of this property is that it shares a fence and overlooks a 3500+/- acre exotics ranch and valley, providing exceptional privacy and breathtaking views. Additionally, the fully fenced and gated property benefits from an agricultural exemption through its designation as a wildlife sanctuary.

The main house boasts a spacious 3000 square feet, featuring 3 bedrooms, 3 full bathrooms, and 2 offices, which can also be utilized as an office/fourth bedroom or a craft room. The house features large windows in the living room, dining room, master bedroom, guest bedrooms, and office/craft rooms to maximize the magnificent eastern and western views. The kitchen showcases stone accents, granite countertops, a large island, and beautiful floor-to-ceiling custom cabinetry and views. Appliances include a new (2022) Wolf kitchen range-top and double oven, a second fridge in the laundry room, and a large upright freezer in the carport utility room. The living room and foyer impress with 12-foot ceilings, and the rest of the home features 9-10 foot ceilings. The open living area includes a cedar-beamed ceiling and a stone wood-burning fireplace with a gas starter. The house features engineered high-gloss wood floors with tiled kitchen and bathroom areas. Throughout the main house, you will find custom-made knotty alder built-in cabinets, bookcases, and 8-foot knotty alder interior doors. French doors lead to the covered rear flagstone patio, which includes an outdoor kitchen featuring a Lynx 42-inch built-in BBQ grill fueled by propane gas and equipped with an Infrared ProSear Burner and Rotisserie. Additionally, a stone fire pit adds to the ambiance.

For guests or additional living space, there is a charming cedar cabin complete with a kitchen, bedroom, bathroom, and a wrap-around porch with rocking chairs and a two-seat swing chair.

Storage and workspace needs are met with a 38x30 metal barn/workshop on a concrete slab. The barn features roll-up doors and built-in shelving. An RV carport is situated next to the barn on a concrete slab, equipped with a 50 amp electric hookup and water service. A fenced-in dog kennel is located behind the barn. The 1100-foot driveway was chip-sealed in 2023, with drainage and culverts. The property features irrigated raised beds for vegetable gardens and an orchard boasting a variety of fruits, including apples, peaches, plums, pears, almonds, pomegranates, figs, grapes, and blackberries.

In 2015, a 15,000-gallon inground heated pool with a spa was installed, and it was recently upgraded in 2021. Adjacent to the pool is a rose garden and flagstone sun deck that extends from the rear patio and overlooks the eastern valley.

Nature enthusiasts will appreciate the beautiful wildflower meadow resplendent with spring and summer wildflowers and the large mature oak trees scattered throughout the property. There are walking/riding trails to enjoy the flowers and the variety of native grasses and shrubs, wild grapes, wild blackberries, Texas persimmons, agarita, blooming yuccas, Texas sumac, redbuds, and more.

This rare hill-top property offers exquisite custom design and luxury with the peace and beauty of Texas hill country indoor/outdoor living, with incredible eastern and western views that allow you to enjoy beautiful sunrises and sunsets anywhere on the property.
