5862 Ranch Road 965 , Llano, TX 78643(Llano County)

Located directly across the road from Enchanted Rock State Natural Area, this ranch enjoys front-row views of and evening sunsets over the famed pink granite dome - one of Texas' most recognizable geological landmarks. This setting provides both peaceful seclusion and unparalleled access to the park's 1,644 acres of public parkland (soon to be 5,388 acres), where visitors can enjoy hiking, rock climbing, birding, stargazing, picnicking, camping, and nature exploration. Perfectly positioned 20 miles north of the booming town of Fredericksburg and 21 miles south of Llano, the ranch is within easy reach of wine country and small-town charm, and about 90 miles from both Austin and San Antonio. Access is easy and impressive thanks to an asphalt driveway leading from the paved county road up to the main improvements.

Land & Wildlife:

The property's landscape is a thoughtful blend of open pastures, wooded creek bottom, and usable acreage, offering variety, privacy, and functionality. The property benefits greatly from an Agricultural Tax Valuation maintained by a few cows which could be converted to Wildlife Management. Roughly 20 acres of mature hardwoods flank 685 feet of Keener Branch Creek, a seasonal waterway shaded by large pecan and live oak trees. A scenic highlight and peaceful retreat is the 0.25-acre tank, built with a poly liner and equipped with a fishing dock. Approximately 16 acres, including the improved area, are high-fenced, with the balance low-fenced, allowing whitetail deer, axis, dove, ducks, and Rio Grande turkey to roam freely across the ranch. A portion of the front pasture is equipped with numerous irrigation lines, offering a future owner the opportunity to plant a vineyard, start a fruit tree orchard, or simply leave the area open for grazing or recreation. The eastern portion of the property, rich with hardwoods and granite outcroppings, offers a blank Hill Country canvas for additional homesites, trails, or wildlife improvements.

Main Residence:

Completed in 2020, the ~4,000 sqft 3 bedroom, 3.5 bath residence was designed by Nadeau Architecture and built by Bill Dunn, blending timeless architecture with clean, modern lines and premium finishes throughout. The home features two large bedrooms with ensuite baths downstairs, a spacious den, office, and a formal seating/living area with built in surround sound throughout. Upstairs, a comfortable guest suite with its own ensuite bath provides privacy and flexibility. The chefs kitchen is both functional and elegant, anchored by a Wolf gas cooktop, Sub-Zero refrigerator/freezer, and Cove dishwasher. Custom cabinetry, quartz countertops, and a large center island make it ideal for entertaining or everyday living. The open design connects seamlessly to the main living areas, allowing natural light and Hill Country views to fill the space while maintaining a warm, refined feel. The primary suite is a showpiece, featuring a fireplace, exquisite bath, and large windows that invite in views of landscape. Every space is detailed with top-of-the-line fixtures and finishes including a Kohler Stargaze freestanding air bath. Off the back of the home is a large fully screened in back porch that abuts what would be an excellent area for the addition of a pool. The residence is connected via a covered walkway to a two car garage with more storage space, and is supported by two active water wells plus a third well drilled but not yet completed.

Equestrian & Multi-Use Facility:

Originally designed as a premium equestrian complex, this property now offers exceptional versatility for a variety of future uses. With its massive clear-span design, the covered arena could easily be converted into a large workshop, event venue, expanded living quarters, or a mixture of any of these uses. The seller has provided architectural renderings of what some of these alternative uses for the arena could look like.

The professional grade covered arena sits at 12,300 sqft and includes six opulent 12x12 stalls with waterers and cameras, indoor tack-up bays, a wash bay, and a temperature-controlled tack room. In the second story of the facility sits a guest suite with a full kitchen, full bath, and laundry closet that could be perfect for a live in foreman. A spectator lounge and a large observation deck overlook the covered arena. Additional bonus features include 40 linear LED lights, audio system, commercial sized fans, and previously housed Pinnacle footing. There is also a large outdoor arena with excellent drainage. The footing from both the covered and outdoor arenas has been scraped, cleaned, sorted by layer into tote bags, and stored out of the elements. A new owner may choose to reuse the existing footing from both arenas, replace it with another material depending on discipline, sell it off with/without the aid of the seller, or repurpose the entire structure. A robust rainwater collection system that draws off the expansive arena roof ensures an abundant, sustainable water supply.

Enchanted Rock Ranch combines luxury, versatility, and location in one of the Hill Country's most coveted settings. With its proximity to Enchanted Rock, turnkey infrastructure, and unmatched scenery, the property offers endless potential - whether envisioned as a private residence, recreational retreat, equestrian estate/business, or event destination.
