Behind the gates of Escondida Ranch on over 12 private acres just seven minutes from downtown Wimberley, Rancho Solara offers a rare combination of privacy, land, and thoughtful design. Completed in 2022, the home is designed for both scale and livability. A private courtyard entry leads into a dramatic stone welcome hall and expansive great room with 19 foot ceilings and exposed Douglas fir trusses. Natural materials and intentional sightlines carry throughout, while a split wing layout creates both openness and separation. Each wing is anchored by its own primary suite, offering flexibility for guests or multigenerational living. A detached guest apartment adds additional accommodations, and five garage bays with EV charging provide ample space for vehicles and equipment. The home opens to a fully enclosed outdoor atrium spanning the entire rear elevation. Rising approximately 30 feet, this screened structure surrounds the heated saltwater pool, outdoor kitchen, and living areas, allowing for true indoor outdoor living in every season. Built with long term functionality in mind, the property includes a 52,000 gallon rainwater collection system, whole home generator, buried propane tank, and 360 degree security with motion lighting. Additional features include tankless water heaters and whole home connectivity. Beyond the atrium, rolling pastureland stretches toward the horizon, where blackbuck antelope support the agricultural exemption and reinforce the connection to the land. A rare Hill Country offering designed for privacy, flexibility, and lasting livability.
