About this property

4 BR w/ Pool, Views, Farm & Ranch Stay- Flower Farm, Goats, Pigs, Disc Golf!

Escape to High Hope Ranch, a peaceful 1,000-acre sanctuary at the top of the Texas Hill Country in Glen Rose. Whether you’re here to unwind in nature or enjoy unique ranch experiences, there’s something for everyone.

Explore over 20 miles of hiking and horseback riding trails, visit with friendly goats and pigs, and take in the wide-open views and quiet charm of this working ranch. During your stay, you can also:

Play a round on our brand-new 9-hole disc golf course, Warbler Trails, designed to wind through the scenic landscape. Don’t have discs? No problem — we have them available at the Farm Store.

Stroll through our seasonal You Pick 'Em Flower Garden, bursting with colorful blooms all summer long. Guests are welcome to cut their own fresh bouquet to enjoy during their stay or take home.

Visit the Farm Store (by appointment) for handmade ranch goods, including tallow skincare, preserves, teas, and more.

Whether you prefer peaceful mornings on the porch, trail adventures, or hands-on ranch fun, High Hope Ranch offers a truly one-of-a-kind Texas getaway.

Mwalimu is the main house of two dwellings connected by a covered walkway. Mwalimu has a king bedroom with en suite bathroom and a bedroom with two full-size beds and a bathroom.
The connected dwelling, High Hope's 'Sanctuary', has two queen bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a hotel-style kitchenette. Great open space for meetings and larger groups to gather.

Wildlife Natural Habitat

Mwalimu, High Hope's Villa with Pool was so peaceful and relaxing. The layout of the main house and sanctuary was perfect for our girl's trip. Everyone slept so well. We had so much fun, swimming, checking out the books and fun artifacts. AND my big white dog loved exploring the ranch!

About the host

Drink in the exceptional stargazing, miles of hiking trails, and scenic views of the ranch. You can feel the tension of daily life melt away as the quiet tranquility of the land works her magic.

If you're looking for more of a family-oriented experience, we've got that covered too! We offer opportunities to meet and feed our farm animals, garden tours, and a Farm Store for you to peruse our homemade goods! From the fossilized dinosaur prints in the Paluxy Riverbed at Dinosaur Valley State Park to the drive through safari experience of Fossil Rim, High Hope is your perfect launch point to experience all our area has to offer!

Why they chose this property

M'walimu is a stunning stay complete with a pool overlooking the last edge of the Texas Hill Country into the Great Plains, two separate houses, 4 total bedroom and 4 full baths. This house is ideal for family reunions, retreats, and large groups.

The history of this house is intertwined with Fossil Rim- the home of the original owner of Fossil Rim, it is rich with history and wonder!

What makes this property unique

Mwalimu holds significant meaning as it is where the former owner of Fossil Rim resided for many years. Every piece of artwork in this house is a collection of from the previous owner's years living abroad in Japan.
