Experience refined Hill Country living in this exceptional riverfront retreat, ideally situated within an exclusive gated community less than five minutes from the heart of Wimberley. Designed to embrace its picturesque surroundings, the residence offers a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor living, highlighted by an infinity-edge pool overlooking the river-an extraordinary setting for relaxing and entertaining. Graceful archways, soaring ceilings and custom millwork lend timeless architectural character throughout, while four fireplaces-including two gas fireplaces indoors and two wood-burning fireplaces outdoors-create an inviting atmosphere in every season. Expansive decks overlook the serene natural landscape, offering generous spaces to gather, unwind and enjoy the beauty of riverfront living. Above the garage, private guest quarters feature two bedrooms, two baths, a comfortable living area and a kitchenette, providing a welcoming retreat for family and guests. Just beyond the back steps lies a private stretch of crystal-clear riverfront, complete with an inviting swimming hole and access to nearly a mile of pristine shoreline. A shared easement among the riverfront owners allows residents to walk, explore and enjoy the water's edge in a way few properties can offer. Unlike many river communities, where shared access places you within view of neighboring homes and patios, the surrounding residences are thoughtfully positioned well above and away from the water-creating the remarkable feeling of having your own secluded river park, with no public access. Further enhanced by a second private gate and stone wall, the property offers exceptional privacy and security while remaining just minutes from Wimberley's charming shops, restaurants and galleries. Tranquil, secluded and beautifully appointed, this remarkable retreat captures the very best of elevated Hill Country living without sacrificing comfort, convenience or accessibility.

Description: Located less than 10 minutes from San Marcos, Rocky Creek ranch showcases gently rolling terrain, multiple stocked ponds, a wet-weather creek, and mature hardwoods that frame the creek bottoms. The land offers an attractive blend of open pasture and scenic elevation with several prime building sites, all easily accessed by paved road frontage to the south along with county road frontage to the east. With dependable water features, excellent wildlife habitat, and a highly sought-after location along the I-35 corridor, this ranch is ideal for development, a weekend retreat, livestock operation, or long-term investment in one of Central Texas’ fastest-growing regions. Improvements: Improvements include an older ranch house set on a hillside with sweeping views across the property, offering a charming vantage point for future renovation or new construction. The home is serviced by city water, a valuable benefit for residential use. Near the house are several scenic old barns that add character and history to the property while providing practical storage space and potential for restored use. Together, these improvements offer a solid foundation for expanding, updating, or reimagining the ranch to suit a variety of visions. Water: The ranch offers strong natural water features, with city water supplying the home and four well-established stock ponds located throughout the property. One of the ponds is particularly impressive, holding water even through the harshest droughts. A seasonal creek also meanders across the northwest side of ranch, holding during wet periods and adding both scenic value and reliable habitat for wildlife. Vegetation and Terrain: The ranch features gently rolling terrain with a mix of open hills and a shaded low bottom lined with mature hardwoods. Scenic rises provide long views across the property, while the bottoms offer rich soils and a diverse canopy of live oak, hackberry and elm trees. The high areas of the ranch consist predominantly of native South Texas vegetation including mesquite, white brush, persimmon, etc. along with native grasses such as little bluestem, silver bluestem and KR bluestem to name a few. This blend of hardwood cover, open grassland, and rolling topography creates both attractive scenery and excellent habitat for wildlife. Wildlife: The ranch supports a strong population of native wildlife, particularly whitetail deer, which are abundant throughout the property. Rio Grande turkey are frequently seen, and feral hogs come and go. The open fields and ponds draw large numbers of doves, making the property well-suited for seasonal hunting. In addition, typical South Texas varmints such as coyotes, raccoons, bobcats, and foxes inhabit the area, contributing to a diverse and healthy wildlife ecosystem.
