A hand-crafted Hill Country retreat on three private acres. Set beneath towering live oaks on 3 serene acres along Lone Man Creek, this Rancho Grande property offers a rare sense of privacy and tranquility. Thoughtfully reimagined from 2022 to 2023, both the main residence and detached guest house underwent extensive renovations, resulting in a refined blend of Hill Country character and handcrafted design. Interior details include new 2026 flooring throughout main house, reclaimed longleaf pine flooring, beadboard ceilings, fully plastered walls, custom lighting selections, and a sculptural plaster fireplace that creates a warm focal point within the living space. The kitchen and bathrooms feature custom Douglas fir cabinetry, custom Douglas fir exterior doors, and carefully curated tile work throughout, including a spa-inspired primary bath finished in lime plaster. Significant system upgrades include (per last owner) all-new plumbing and electrical, added insulation, a new well pump, a new HVAC system for the guest house, and an under-sink reverse osmosis system in the kitchen. Outdoor amenities continue the elevated feel with a custom cedar sauna deck equipped with a Saunum electric heater and dedicated 100-amp panel with seating for six, a custom steel and wood deck, a living rock wall entry, and a small irrigated fruit orchard. Native Texas pollinators and intentional rewilding efforts create a lush natural setting that changes beautifully throughout the year.

Perched on a bluff above the Pedernales River, with water access and 29.74 unbroken acres beneath it, the Spicewood Sanctuary at Lick Creek Ranch sits just 40 minutes west of Austin. John Covert Watson, who trained directly under Frank Lloyd Wright, designed the compound as Hill Country Modernism at its highest expression: just over 14,000 SF across the main house and guest house. The architecture announces itself as you approach: a sweeping hyperbolic parabola roof folds skyward like geometry caught mid-motion, echoed in the rotunda entry and the curving wall of glass framing the great room. Step inside and the rotunda holds a secret: a private art collection and movie screening room concealed within the architecture. Locally milled cedar, hand-laid desert masonry, and cork floors meet glass, concrete, and steel. Oversized living spaces gather around a floor-to-ceiling limestone fireplace, and a banquette beside an oversized picture window frames layered ridge lines. All five en-suite bedrooms sit on one level. The primary is a true spa retreat with soaking tub, majestic views, and adjacent salon/gym. Four flex spaces: salon/gym, mezzanine, podcast studio at the home's highest vantage, and the rotunda, plus two office nooks, elevator, and dumbwaiter to the stone balcony. Chef's kitchen with Sub-Zero and six-burner Wolf range, a separate butler's pantry with second Sub-Zero, ice maker, and concealed laundry, and a coffee nook, purpose-built for catered events. Outside, a saltwater grotto pool with hidden cave and separate spa is carved into the land, the spa entry beneath a majestic tree. Two fire features, stone well house, dog run, and acres of flat land for equestrian, vineyard, or more. The guest house greets you with a stone waterfall: full kitchen, two en-suite bedrooms, exterior half bath, covered parking for three with EV charging. Ag and wildlife exemptions possible. A place to live deeply inside architecture, land, and time.

There's a moment on the drive in when the trees open up and you catch your first glimpse of this place, a three-story lookout home rising above the oak canopy, wrapped in decks on every level. Eight private acres, direct frontage on the Blanco River, and a house designed to watch the river from every room. Inside, the great room centers on a linear fireplace beneath tall ceilings, with walls of glass that slide open to a screened porch and grill deck. The kitchen has warm shaker cabinetry, soapstone-look counters, and a gray subway tile backsplash, opening right up to a breakfast nook looking out over the yard. Climb up to the third-floor lookout and you're above the treeline, watching sunsets over the Hill Country. Walk down the stone steps cut into the bluff and you're at your own stretch of the Blanco, deep enough to swim, calm enough to fish, and shaded by mature live oak, cypress, and cedar elm. It's screened from the neighbors on nearly every side, so it feels like it's just yours. A detached 2-bedroom guest house with its own kitchen, living space, and gym sits nearby, along with a fire-pit clearing for evenings outside. This place is wired, too. The whole property runs on a Ubiquiti network, including a Dream Machine Pro, indoor and outdoor access points, and a wireless bridge connecting the main house and guest house, so you've got strong Wi-Fi all the way down to the river. The same system runs security, with four high-res cameras that record locally, so footage keeps rolling even if the internet blinks. It's all less than a year old. Forty minutes from Austin and San Marcos, but a world away. Wimberley is built around spring-fed swimming holes and live music, with the Blanco River and Cypress Creek at its center. A rare find: private river frontage, a home built to showcase it, and the right tech to make it easy to live there. Home did NOT flood in 2015.
