Dream Ranch - Horsepower Ranch
 
     
668 Majestic Acres in "The Other Texas Hill Country"
 
 
Are you searching for an authentic horse lover's ranch, but you don't want all the work a typical large estate demands? On the market for the first time, Horsepower Ranch is a showcase 668-acre property (per tax rolls) staffed with an affordable, do-it-all, ranch manager to handle animal care and property maintenance. All you need to do is enjoy.
 
 
Referred to as "The Other Hill Country" by those in the know, Horsepower Ranch's location boasts the best climate in Texas, as well as gorgeous topography to give you rolling hills, abundant oaks, serene pastures, rugged escarpments, a fishing lake, scenic riding trails and more, all within a two-hour drive of the music business and cosmopolitan night life of Austin and less than three hours from Dallas/Ft Worth.
 
This property includes everything you could ever want in a ranch. The majestic new 100-foot-wide natural-rock entryway with large electric gate welcomes you home. With quality, style, comfort and privacy as its theme, the impressive owner's compound includes a fully remodeled "luxury ranch" main home and separate guest suite (approx. 3700 SF total.) Designed with an artistic use of slate, natural rock and alder wood, the open-floor-plan abode features a large master suite with views, luxurious bathrooms, and attention to detail throughout. For entertaining, the home offers a full Viking gourmet kitchen, a view-gazing great room with wood burning fireplace and custom built bar, plus a great Texas-style deck with views.
 
 

Easily accessed via paved county roads on two sides, this well designed property boasts a long list of amenities that includes a second home (3+2+loft), a cowboy bunkhouse (great for kids), huge covered riding arena, two large Morton barns, walker, high-sided round pen, numerous paddocks and watering holes, a car collector's dream 25-car climate-controlled RV garage (possible home theater/ultimate game room) and much more.

 
 
Some animals, ranch equipment, and furnishings are available under separate contract, giving you an easy turn-key ranching operation and agricultural tax exemption. Abundant deer and fowl not hunted for the past 10 years makes this an excellent sportsman's ranch.
 

The nearby private jet airport, country club and beautiful, un-crowded, Lake Brownwood add to the area's charm. Brownwood is centrally located, and is only 3-hours away by private jet from LA or NY.

 
 
Horsepower Ranch delivers a quality lifestyle for everyone in the family, and has quickly made a name for itself as a premier ranch property in Central Texas. You will not find another like it.
 

All this, for only $6990/acre. Plus, there's no state income tax!

 

Attention real estate professionals: 3.5% commission paid to buyer's broker.

Comment: Excellent article! Great photos and descriptive info. on the ranch website too. I've been looking for a ranch in the Kerrville area, but I’m going to have to go see this one for sure. I’m a car enthusiast and love the name “Horsepower Ranch.” Very clever! I also enjoy your Equestrian Network magazine. Please bring us more dream ranch articles. Thanks.
