Stunning 2 home estate in the heart of the Texas Hill Country in Wimberley, TX. Located 35 miles from Downtown Austin, 10 minutes from Jacob’s Well, Blue Hole and is surrounded by local wineries, shops and restaurants. Relics Ranch is a very private 11 acre retreat perfect for families and small groups.
The two homes combined have a total of 3 king suites, 2 queen rooms, a comfy sleeper sofa and a plush air mattress with luxury bedding. The maximum number of overnight guests allowed is 14. No events, no parties, and no day guests allowed.
The log cabin Ranch House has a wrap around porch on all sides with chairs and porch swings. It has a large master suite with king bed and private bath, two queen bedrooms with a shared bathroom with a walk in stone shower. There is a crib in one of the queen rooms and a pack n' play available to use. There is a well-equipped kitchen with granite counter tops, stainless steel appliances and a massive hardwood table that seats 14.
The Lodge has two oversized King suites each with their own private baths with walk in stone showers and deep, copper soaking tubs. The great room has comfortable seating, a towering stone fireplace, copper table for 6 and a party bar. The sofa pulls out to a comfy queen bed with a plush mattress topper. The Lodge is a stunning show home made of massive hand-hewn timbers from an 1820’s barn in Gettysburg, PA.
Both homes are impeccably decorated by the homeowner, HGTV designer, Bex Hale. The homes boast an eclectic mix of rustic and modern furnishings; think Restoration Hardware meets the Wild West. Rooms are filled with interesting artifacts like the ten foot wide, 200 year old church doors from Guadalajara that make up the headboard in one of the master suites. Windows and doors were salvaged from a mid 1800’s home on the Jersey Shore, and the ceilings are adorned with reclaimed wood and antique pressed tin molding. Relics Ranch was the star of last year’s annual home tour and is an impressive example of Hill Country finery.
The homes, about 20 yards apart, are connected by a poolside party cabana and outdoor kitchen with tables and chairs, BBQ grill, fridge, ice maker and a bar. The hot tub and adjacent pool look over a stone fountain and with views of the garden. The stone patio has a wood-burning fireplace with ample seating. There is a spacious yard with lush grass shaded by large oak trees that play host to hammocks and swings. The entire yard is enclosed in a stacked stone fence. There are dozens of indoor and outdoor games for kiddos and adults alike. Also provided: a high-end air mattress, pack n' play, crib, and high chairs. The use of the hot tub is included in your stay. Heating the pool must be arranged in advance. The nightly rate covers up to 10 people. Up to 4 additional guest may stay on site for an additional charge.
The ranch is home to friendly pets. Mini donkeys, June Carter and Loretta Lynn graze freely outside the stone walls and are especially popular with kids. Barn kitties, Birdie and Black kitty, are quiet, friendly and live outside, keeping the homes free of unwanted critters. Relics Ranch is the perfect place to enjoy all the Texas Hill Country has to offer.
