About this property

Koch Ranch - Hester House

Come stay in our recently remodeled family homestead that was built in the 1880’s. It’s a relaxing getaway on a true Texas cattle ranch that has been operated by our family for well over 100 years.

We have another rental house listed as "Koch Ranch - Cabin" which is located next door. Many guests rent both houses. They are far enough apart where each house has privacy from each other, but groups are close enough to enjoy their stay together.
