About this property

Texas Exotic Game Ranch, Gateway to the Hill Country, Just Minutes From Downtown

Enjoy the peacefulness of an authentic Texas ranch just minutes from downtown Austin. Nestled just off of Highway 290 this easily accessible ranch house is located on 90 acres of land. The original house was operated as a winery and now is surrounded by an exotic game ranch where you can watch camels, wildebeests and a donkey from the secluded comfort of the front porch and back patio. Spend your days relaxing out in the sun by the beautiful private pool (for the use of your rental party only). If you rent for 7 nights you get the 7th night free (discount will be adjusted once the rental request has been submitted) The 2,500 sq. ft. house has 3 bedrooms that contain 2 king size beds and 2 single beds (bunk beds). The home sleeps 6 people in beds and 2 additional people via sleeper sofa located in entry. If you need additional space for more people there is a second newly renovated 1100 sq. ft. Red Barn Studio on the property that can be added to your rental for an additional fee (property ID 9457896). The Rockin' T Ranch has a large living room with multiple reclining sofas, large dining table, country chic kitchen, half bathroom & 2 full bathrooms - master has a Tub with a separate and spacious stand up shower. Enjoy the chilly nights cozied up next to one of the three wood burning fire places or the outdoor fire pit. There is WiFi access throughout the house and cable on the 3 large TVs in the 2 master bedrooms and living room. You will have all the comforts of home with the included laundry room washer and dryer. A gas grill is also on site for use. The Rockin' T Ranch is a gateway to the hill country and winery tours, as well as many local wedding venues. There is plenty of room for a helicopter to land. If you are in town for Formula One, it is only 30 minutes from the track by car.

Unique Austin Oasis
This is a wonderful property for any group/family that wants to visit Austin, but have a pool and a unique 'country' feel. Plenty of space for everyone. Kitchen was well stocked, pool was well kept, rules well laid out. Also, viewing the animals was amazing and is a truly unique experience! Our group was able to get ubers to/from downtown and the airport with about a 10-15 min wait. Not a bad ride into the Downtown/Rainey Street area. ~40 min drive to COTA and Lake Travis. We will certainly be staying here again.

Wedding
We rented the home for our family to stay at while attending our sons wedding. Our grand kids loved being able to get up and close to the animals. Our beds was very comfortable and all dishes and linens were clean. I would recommend this property to anyone!
