About this home
Behind the gates of Escondida Ranch, on over 12 private acres just seven minutes from downtown Wimberley, Rancho Solara presents a rare expression of Hill Country living where architecture, privacy, and the land itself are in complete alignment.
Completed in 2022, the residence was designed with both scale and livability in mind. A private courtyard entry creates a quiet, intentional arrival, opening into a dramatic stone welcome hall and expansive great room defined by 19 foot ceilings and exposed Douglas fir trusses. Natural materials, curated sightlines, and a thoughtful split wing layout establish a home that feels both expansive and grounded.
The floor plan offers a level of flexibility rarely found at this scale. Each wing is anchored by its own primary suite, creating an ideal setup for multigenerational living or extended guest stays. A detached guest apartment adds another layer of accommodation, while five garage bays including EV charging capabilities provide space for vehicles, equipment, or future lifestyle needs. With over twelve acres, the property allows for continued evolution whether for equestrian use, additional structures, or simply preserving the surrounding landscape.
At the rear of the home, a defining architectural feature sets Rancho Solara apart. A fully enclosed outdoor atrium spans the entire width of the residence, rising approximately 30 feet and creating a protected yet open environment for everyday living and entertaining. Within this space, a heated saltwater pool, outdoor kitchen, and multiple seating areas are seamlessly integrated, allowing for true indoor outdoor living without the limitations of weather or insects.
Beyond its design, the home has been thoughtfully engineered for long term resilience and self sufficient living in the Hill Country. A 52,000 gallon rainwater collection system, whole home generator, and buried propane tank provide a level of independence that is increasingly valuable, while 360 degree security with motion lighting ensures peace of mind. High performance systems including tankless water heaters, whole home connectivity, and integrated smart features enhance both comfort and functionality.
Just beyond the atrium, the land begins to unfold. Rolling pastureland stretches toward the horizon, where blackbuck antelope move freely through the property each evening. Their presence not only enriches the experience of living here, but also supports the agricultural exemption that benefits the community.
Rancho Solara is a property defined by intention designed for privacy, longevity, and a way of living that is increasingly difficult to replicate in the Texas Hill Country....
