DESCRIPTION
Welcome to Hays Stone Ranch, a distinguished 120-acre Hill Country retreat perfectly positioned between the sought-after towns of Dripping Springs and Wimberley. With 1,967 feet of paved frontage along Mount Sharp Road, two scenic surface tanks, and panoramic 360-degree views from its highest ridges, this unrestricted and ag-exempt property offers an exceptional balance of natural beauty, accessibility, and investment potential. Hays Stone Ranch is a rare chance to secure land in one of Central Texas’s most desirable regions.
Prime Location in Central Texas
Hays Stone Ranch benefits from a premier location with effortless access to the Hill Country’s most charming destinations. Just 11 miles southwest of Dripping Springs and 12 miles northwest of Wimberley, the ranch also places you within easy reach of Driftwood at 14 miles east and Blanco at 17 miles west. Bee Cave lies only 25 miles away, and Austin’s vibrant downtown is a convenient 34-mile drive. Ample paved frontage makes the property highly accessible for both personal use and future development opportunities.
Rolling Land and Elevated Views
Showcasing the essence of Hill Country landscapes, the ranch features undulating pastures, oak-covered ridgelines, and more than 140 feet of elevation change. Rising from 1,240 feet in the valleys to 1,380 feet at its highest point, the land offers commanding views in every direction. Mature hardwoods—Live Oaks, Cedar Elms, and stately Heritage Oaks—dot the terrain, complemented by selectively managed Cedar. The two surface tanks not only enhance the property’s charm but also provide reliable water sources for wildlife and livestock.
Historic Character and On-Site Utilities
Adding to its distinctive appeal, Hays Stone Ranch is accented by 4,450 feet of hand-stacked rock walls, a testament to the craftsmanship of early settlers. These historic features wind across the property, blending heritage with natural beauty. Electricity is already in place, offering a solid base for future homesites or recreational facilities without compromising the authenticity of the land.
Water Features and Natural Resources
While a water well has not yet been developed, the ranch includes 308 feet of a seasonal tributary leading into South Onion Creek, creating potential for future water improvements. Its two surface tanks can also be expanded or enhanced for livestock use or fishing, adding further versatility to the property.
Wildlife Habitat and Ecosystem
Hays Stone Ranch provides an excellent natural habitat with its healthy native grasses, dense brush, and dependable water sources. With low-fenced boundaries, Whitetail deer, turkey, dove, hogs, and waterfowl freely roam the land. For hunters, birdwatchers, or those who simply appreciate a thriving ecosystem, the ranch offers an authentic outdoor experience.
Agricultural Exemption in Place
Currently under an agricultural exemption, the property benefits from reduced carrying costs while maintaining opportunities for grazing, hay production, or continued recreational use.
Whether you envision a family legacy ranch, a private Hill Country retreat, or a strategic investment in one of Texas’s fastest-growing areas, Hays Stone Ranch delivers unmatched potential and enduring value.
