Tucked into the rolling terrain of Bandera's most scenic landscapes, this one-story artist retreat offers a rare blend of tranquility, craftsmanship, and direct access to nature. Located in the gated Hills of Bandera Ranch, just 10 miles southwest of downtown Bandera, the Cowboy Capital of the World, the property borders the Hill Country State Natural Area, granting private neighborhood access to miles of hiking, riding, and multi-use trails. It is a place designed for quiet living, creative inspiration, and restorative weekends. The home sits on 5.5 acres of native landscape with long-range vistas, artisan hardscape, and thoughtfully curated outdoor spaces. Handlaid flagstone patios cascade down waterfall stone steps. Two pergolas invite al fresco dining. A polished round stargazing bench encircles a wood-burning fire pit, perfectly positioned for dark-sky nights. Monarch butterflies and golden-cheeked warblers find sanctuary here, just as you will. A metal-fenced courtyard, drip-irrigated beds, rain chains, and a metal roof complete the exterior, supported by a new well pump and propane system (2024), carport/loafing barn, shed, and well room. Craftsmanship at every turn!
