Just 115 miles west of Austin, tucked away in the Texas Hill Country lies the 3,290-acre gem “Hidden Valley Ranch,” newly listed for $65M. The Kerr County property, previously owned and operated by the same family for 40 years, features 3 miles of flowing water, 12 lakes and 28,000 square feet of living space.
Water features highlight the property’s unique charm as Bushwhack Creek runs through the ranch and hidden natural springs feed into water improvements. Waterfalls flow between the 12 lakes, areas deep enough for swimming and fishing.
“The multiple springs originating on the property and the infrastructure created by the lakes give the owner full control of their own water, which is practically unheard of,” said Rober Dulling of Dulling Ranch Sale at Kuper Sotheby’s International Realty in a press release. “These lakes are plum-full of water at a time when some rivers and creeks struggle to flow.”
Scenic hilltop estates, a grand mansion and charming lodges
Thoughtfully placed atop hills or overlooking lakes for optimal scenic views, several homes are sprinkled throughout the property. A 9,043 square-foot 9 bedroom and 7.5 bathroom mansion is the largest of the property’s homes. Two stories with a limestone masonry exterior, windows look out onto a gazebo, tennis court and waterfalls.
The rest of the dwellings also sport native rock exteriors to enhance the natural feel. The 5,585 square-foot, three-story lodge features a loft on the second and third floor with 6 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms. The smaller homes–a 2,595 square-foot 3 bedroom and 3 bathroom villa and two 3,000 square-foot foreman’s houses–provide more places to get cozy by the fireplace and enjoy the atmosphere. A 33,284 square-foot horse barn, 3,012 square-foot shop, small apartment and bunkhouse accompany the homes.

A private retreat built for wildlife and exploration
Twenty miles of paved roads act as a guide through the property and an added high fence adorns the perimeter. Additional improvements include 15 exclusive deer blinders and corn and protein feeders to maintain the wildlife population–deer, turkey, bass and river otters–who also call the property their home.
“In 25 years, I don’t think I have seen a property quite like this,” Dullnig said. “Its size and location provide both convenience and privacy.”
