behind the gates of escondida ranch, on over 12 private acres just seven minutes from downtown wimberley, rancho solara introduces a rare interpretation of hill country living—where architecture, privacy, and nature exist in perfect balance.
completed in 2022, the residence was thoughtfully designed with both scale and livability in mind. a private courtyard entry sets the tone, leading into a dramatic stone welcome hall and expansive great room defined by 19-foot ceilings and exposed douglas fir trusses. natural materials, intentional sightlines, and a split-wing layout create a home that feels both grand and grounded.
each wing is anchored by its own primary suite, offering flexibility for guests or multigenerational living. a detached guest apartment provides additional accommodations, while five garage bays ensure ample space for vehicles, equipment, or future lifestyle needs. with over twelve acres, the property offers the freedom to continue expanding—whether for equestrian use, additional structures, or simply preserving open land.
what truly distinguishes rancho solara is the fully enclosed outdoor atrium—an architectural feature rarely seen in texas. spanning the entire rear of the home and rising approximately 30 feet, this screened structure protects the pool, outdoor kitchen, and living areas while preserving the openness and serenity of the surrounding landscape. it allows for true indoor-outdoor living, free from the limitations of weather or insects.
beyond the atrium, rolling pastureland stretches toward the horizon, where blackbuck antelope move through the property each evening. their presence not only enhances the experience of living here but also supports the agricultural exemption that benefits the entire community.
rancho solara is a property defined by intention—designed for privacy, longevity, and a lifestyle that is increasingly difficult to find in the texas hill country.
