5 Texas Hill Country Retreats from Wimberley to Westlake Austin

Set on 5 ag-exempt acres in the exclusive River Mountain Ranch Community, this custom Texas Hill Country retreat pairs high-end design with self-sufficient living. The main residence is joined by private guest casitas and a rare collection of outdoor amenities: an ozone pool, hot tub, sauna, outdoor shower, fenced garden with hydroponic beds, plus a barn, greenhouse, and potting shed. Inside, hand-scraped oak floors, limestone arches, a fireplace, sunroom, wet bar with wine fridge, office, and home gym create a polished yet easy rhythm for daily life. The chef’s kitchen and scullery/butler’s pantry—complete with induction cooktop, dual ovens, French-door fridge, and an expansive walk-in pantry—are built for effortless hosting. Solar panels, rainwater tanks, an irrigation well, and a whole-house generator support a quieter, more intentional pace, with private Blanco River access and dark-sky nights.

Along the water’s edge in the prestigious gated Belvedere community, this meticulously maintained one-story estate unfolds across a 1.29-acre corner lot with a grand double-door entry and lighted rotunda. A spacious open plan centers on the living room, where high ceilings, wood beams, and a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace frame large Fleetwood slider doors that glide out to a resort-style back patio overlooking the inviting pool and lush grounds. Entertaining is effortless with an outdoor bar, chef’s kitchen, and custom built-in cabinetry, plus an oversized island and top-of-the-line appliances. Off the formal dining room, an expansive butler’s pantry supports larger gatherings. The primary suite offers a spa-like bath with a jetted soaking tub, walk-in shower, dual vanities, and double closets, while remaining bedrooms feature en suite baths and walk-in closets. A game/media room with bar and half bath completes the experience, with community amenities—clubhouse, lazy-river pool, sport court, playscape, fishing pond, and an 80-acre nature preserve—setting the tone for everyday escape.

Set on 12 acres in the Texas Hill Country near Marble Falls, this retreat pairs panoramic views with an award-winning, income-producing mature vineyard.

A split-bedroom layout includes a spacious primary suite with cathedral ceiling and spa-inspired bath, plus two ensuite guest rooms and a fourth bedroom adjacent to a full hall bath. Outdoors, a beach-entry pool and spa, 30-foot living area with grill, refrigerator, fireplace, and retractable shades overlook the vines, joined by a firepit and a 30×50 barn with an efficiency apartment.

Set in the Texas Hill Country, this exceptional slice of rural real estate balances natural beauty with thoughtfully designed ranch amenities. The setting feels intentionally composed yet true to the land, offering the kind of everyday calm that comes from wide-open surroundings and a close connection to the outdoors. Its unrestricted status adds uncommon flexibility, while the location—positioned between Burnet and Bertram—keeps you within easy reach of both communities without sacrificing a sense of retreat. Here, the appeal is as much about what the property is as what it allows: space to shape your own routines, room for work and recreation, and a landscape that invites slow mornings and long evenings outside. It’s a Hill Country holding designed for living with purpose and breathing a little deeper.
