Central-Hill Country Ranch for Sale in Gillespie County, Texas

The traditional Hill Country German-style Main House, originally built in the 1850s, and restored by Daniel Jenschke in 2007, is 5,300sf with 3 bedrooms and 4 baths. The expertly updated home includes a chef’s kitchen and open-concept, two-storied great room with a bar, living and dining area, naturally lit through clerestory windows, and a bank of French doors. Luxurious details include an underground wine cellar, sleeping loft above a second living area, water softener and R/O system, timber beams and limestone masonry, a screened porch with built-in grill and wood-burning pizza oven, full-size tennis/pickleball court with basketball hoop, and an attached 2-car garage. Complete with a beautiful view, the Main House is strategically situated on a bluff overlooking one of the verdant pastures and fishing ponds. The most recent remodel in 2011, by Bill Dunn Construction, focused on the screened porch addition and updating the primary bathroom.  

A guest cottage is directly adjacent to the main home and is approximately 860sf with one bedroom, one full bath, along with a living room and kitchen.  

The Primary Barn, also located near the Main House, has a concrete foundation and four (4) additional parking spaces for tractors and ranch vehicles.

The historic “Petsch House” is a charming 3,237SF 2-bedroom, 2.5-bath traditional German-style home located just west of the main headquarters.  Originally built in 1858, the house was fully restored with modern amenities in 2020. 

There are also miles of chip-seal roads allowing easy access across the ranch, along with lots of roads accessible by ATV, horse, or trail bike.

The gently rolling terrain has elevations ranging from 1520-1740FASL, with the highest point being on the east side of the ranch, offering breathtaking long-distance views.  There is approximately 13040 acres of improved pastureland, with the remainder being a mix of native grassland and wooded areas, providing the ideal mix for hunting and grazing opportunities.
