The Estate & Narrative

Poised above the Blanco River Valley, this twelve-acre holding captures the essence of refined Texas Hill Country living. Thoughtfully designed and executed in dry-stacked, fossil-bearing Sisterdale limestone, the residence is oriented to catch the prevailing Gulf breezes while preserving the dark night skies for which the Wimberley Valley is known.

Centering the compound is an expansive single-story footprint where authentic timber framing meets unadorned contemporary massing. Massive hand-hewn structural trusses span the great room, framing unobstructed southwestern vistas of ancient live oaks that have anchored this topography for over two centuries.

Beyond the architectural envelope, the grounds function as a self-sustaining retreat. Benefiting from a 1-D-1 Wildlife Management tax valuation, the parcel supports native songbird habitat, seasonal wildflower meadows, and gated privacy within the Blanco River watershed. Water security is anchored by a deep Trinity Aquifer private well with a holding tank and multi-stage filtration. Wimberley itself is minutes away: the shops and restaurants of the town square, swimming at Blue Hole and Jacob’s Well, and the Cypress Creek corridor, with Dripping Springs and Austin an easy drive beyond.

Architectural Monograph

The Estate & Narrative

Poised above the Blanco River Valley on twelve ag-exempt acres, this 2021 residence pairs regional vernacular craftsmanship with quiet contemporary lines. The masonry is dry-stacked, fossil-bearing Sisterdale limestone, which lends natural thermal mass against the Texas sun, and hand-hewn Douglas fir trusses span the great room beneath fourteen-foot ceilings.

The single-story plan opens through floor-to-ceiling glass to a 45-foot negative-edge pool, a screened cedar pavilion with summer kitchen, and southwestern views across live oaks that have anchored this ground for two centuries. Within the dark-sky Wimberley Valley, nightfall brings clear, unfiltered constellations over the horizon.

The grounds carry a 1-D-1 Wildlife Management valuation, and water security is anchored by a deep Trinity Aquifer private well producing 25 GPM with a 2,500-gallon holding tank and multi-stage filtration. Wimberley’s town square, Blue Hole and Jacob’s Well are minutes away, with Dripping Springs and Austin an easy drive beyond.
