For more information: www.ranchosolarawimberley.com Behind the gates of Escondida Ranch, on over 12 private acres just seven minutes from downtown Wimberley, Rancho Solara presents a rare expression of Hill Country living where architecture, privacy, and the land itself are in complete alignment. Completed in 2022, the residence was designed with both scale and livability in mind. A private courtyard entry creates a quiet, intentional arrival, opening into a dramatic stone welcome hall and expansive great room defined by 19 foot ceilings and exposed Douglas fir trusses. Natural materials, curated sightlines, and a thoughtful split wing layout establish a home that feels both expansive and grounded. The floor plan offers a level of flexibility rarely found at this scale. Each wing is anchored by its own primary suite, creating an ideal setup for multigenerational living or extended guest stays. Thoughtfully designed for long term livability, the home features wide 36 inch doorways throughout nearly the entire residence and wheelchair friendly circulation, allowing for comfortable single level living without compromising design. A detached guest apartment adds another layer of accommodation, while five garage bays, including EV charging capabilities, provide space for vehicles, equipment, or future lifestyle needs. With over twelve acres, the property offers the freedom to evolve, whether for equestrian use, additional structures, or simply preserving the surrounding landscape. At the rear of the home, a defining architectural feature sets Rancho Solara apart. A fully enclosed outdoor atrium spans the entire width of the residence, rising approximately 30 feet and creating a protected yet open environment for everyday living and entertaining. Within this space, a heated saltwater pool, outdoor kitchen, and multiple seating areas are seamlessly integrated, allowing for true indoor outdoor living without the limitations of weather or insects. Beyond its architecture, the home has been thoughtfully engineered for long term resilience and self sufficient living in the Hill Country. A 52,000 gallon rainwater collection system, whole home generator, buried propane tank, and five 500 gallon propane tanks provide a level of independence that is increasingly valuable. A comprehensive 360 degree security system with motion activated lighting offers added peace of mind, while tankless water heaters, whole home connectivity, and integrated smart home features enhance both comfort and functionality. Just beyond the atrium, the land begins to unfold. Rolling pastureland stretches toward the horizon, where blackbuck antelope move freely through the property each evening. Their presence not only enriches the experience of living here but also supports the agricultural exemption that benefits the community. Rancho Solara is a property defined by intention, designed for privacy, longevity, and a way of living that is increasingly difficult to replicate in the Texas Hill Country.

Certain homes are built. Others are remembered. The Dittlinger Estate is not simply a residence—it is a cornerstone of New Braunfels history. A Landmark of Legacy Positioned on 1.6 acres within the revered Sophienburg Hill Historic District, this 1910 landmark was commissioned by Hippolyt Dittlinger, widely known as the “Father of Industry” in New Braunfels, and designed by James Wahrenberger, Texas’ first professionally trained architect. A stately two-story brick façade, framed by symmetrical columned porches and ornate detailing, reflects a level of craftsmanship rarely seen today. Dramatic central bay windows, deep overhanging eaves, and classical proportions speak to a time when homes were designed not just for living, but for legacy. Grand and Livable Interiors The residence unfolds across 4,591 square feet, offering spacious, elegant, and functional rooms. Longleaf yellow pine framing, milled on-site, was prized for its strength and durability and remains a defining feature of the home. A full basement adds to the property’s uniqueness, providing rare Texas square footage below grade. A Complete Estate Beyond the main residence, the property includes: Historic Carriage House and Garage – Preserving the original charm of early 20th-century design. “Professor’s House” Guest Residence – Fully equipped with kitchenette, full bath, and front porch. Wash House with Upper Open-Air Porch – A nod to functional estate living. Grounds as a Private Park The estate feels less like a typical lot and more like a private park. Mature pecan trees, some planted to commemorate family milestones, form a sweeping canopy of shade. A thoughtfully integrated pool and spa offer modern luxury while honoring the property’s historical integrity. A Cultural Heartbeat Situated directly across from the Sophienburg Museum and within walking distance of downtown, the estate is a golf-cart ride from Landa Park, the Comal River, and Gruene. Its history is intertwined with the city’s story, maintained by stewards who understood its importance—including descendants of the original family and a former mayor of New Braunfels who carefully restored the home. Inheriting a Story This is not a home you simply purchase. It is one you inherit, with the responsibility and privilege of carrying its story forward. Certain homes are built. Others are remembered.
