On a picturesque Hill Country road approximately 12.5 miles West of Dripping Springs is the Mayfield Ranch. The 101.6 ac. (+/-) ranch is surrounded by very large ranches for this part of Texas, which gives it seclusion and privacy. The rolling terrain features a woodland wildlife of deer, turkey, ducks and other seasonal birds amongst the Red Oak, Madrone, and Mountain Laurel trees. The ranch grounds have been thoughtfully improved, with a dry stack rock wall entrance, a mile long paved road, and a lake. The lake's dam was constructed with a 12-foot-wide compacted clay core, galvanized drain with an overflow, and a concrete spill way. At the heart of The Ranch is an extraordinary 5,270 sq. ft. home overlooking the lake. The timber frame and stone structure reflects the architectural heritage of the European settlers to this part of Texas. The compound consists of two structures. The main building houses the living room, dining room, powder room, kitchen, mud room, laundry room, and butler's pantry. On the second floor there are two guest bedrooms, playroom, and shared full bath. The second structure consists of the primary bedroom and bath on the main floor, and on the second floor the theater, full bath, and office. The timber frame was logged in Ohio by the Amish and shipped to Texas Timber Frame in San Antonio for the mortis and tendon journey work and erection. There are over 3,000 mortise and tendon precise handcrafted joints in the structure. The 15-inch-thick limestone and stud walls provide a substantial insulating system. The solid cherry and maple cabinetry was all milled-on site. The long leaf pine floors were reclaimed from floor joists from an old, razed hotel in New Orleans. The living room and dining room both have authentic Count Rumford fireplaces. Whether you're captivated by the historic charm, the modern conveniences, or the stunning views, the Mayfield Ranch stands as a testament to luxurious living in the heart of the Hill Country.

There are properties that offer beauty… and then there are those that offer a place in history. Set on 2.6 acres in the heart of the Texas Hill Country, the original Round Mountain Stagecoach Inn is a rare and storied offering dating back to the 1870s. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, this landmark property was built as a vital stop along early travel routes, once welcoming stagecoaches, travelers, and cattlemen moving through the frontier—serving not only as an inn, but as a gathering place, post office, and hub of daily life in a rugged and rapidly growing Texas. Constructed of native stone with substantial walls built to stand the test of time, the residence offers approximately 2,974 square feet with 3 bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms, living room, dining room, and two screened-in porches. Updates to the home with it's current owner have included a new septic system, two full bathrooms, updated plumbing and electrical and ductless HVAC units. The original livery stable remains an extraordinary feature of the property and a direct connection to its past. Once used to shelter and rest horses traveling through the region, the structure reflects the rhythm of early Hill Country life. The second story of the stable—typically used as hay storage—was thought to have served as additional sleeping quarters, further reinforcing the inn’s role as a place of refuge and rest. Whether envisioned as a private residence, legacy retreat, or an intimate bed and breakfast or gathering space, the property offers a rare opportunity to steward a meaningful piece of Texas history—where its next chapter is written with care and respect for its historic designation.
