Homesteaded in the mid1800s by German immigrants seeking freedom and the promise of a better future, Mount Solitude Ranch is still home to 3,630± acres of unbounded opportunity. Mount Solitude is adjoined by the 2,316± acre Ranch Sierra tract owned by the General Land Office, creating an oasis of elbow room in the heart of modern Texas.

Located directly in the growth path for Helotes (10 minutes away) and San Antonio (30 minutes away), the ranch is well positioned to benefit from the future expansion of Highway 211 to fast-growing Boerne (20 minutes away). Mount Solitude is just 30 minutes from both the San Antonio International Airport and Boerne Stage Airfield.

And despite its unparalleled accessibility, the ranch, which is primarily low-fenced with sections of high-fence, retains the peace and tranquility that inspired its name. Turkey, deer, wild hogs and aoudad thrive in the Hill Country habitat that includes a mix of oaks, cedar and native grasses. Four separate mountains—Jack, Unnamed and the two Twins—rise to 1,800 feet and beyond, providing exceptional views.

During wet seasons, the ranch is resplendent with shimmering surface water including a trifecta of dammed lakes built by the current owner’s father. Along with the concrete dams, he constructed concrete water crossings and other impoundments. When the water flows through the rock-bottomed creeks, it is crystal clear and inviting.

In the tradition of old Germany, the property’s buildings, several of which are hand-crafted from stone date back to themed-1800s, are situated together near the middle of Mount Solitude. A short drive along the paved road that winds through the scenic hills delivers you to the headquarters, where modern additions ensure comfort without disrupting the charm and ambiance that can be traced to pioneer Texas.

Charles H. Heimsath, his wife, Eliza von Rhode, and her uncle, Christian von Hupfeldt, staked their claim originally. Heimsath built all the stone structures and hand-carved the pillars that once graced the building known as “The Chapel.” The pillars are just waiting to be re-purposed.

Adventurous fun is readily available within Mount Solitude’s fencelines. Imagine sunwarmed days of hiking or climbing Twin Mountains. Explorers can also get to know the ranch from the rough-and-ready comfort of offroad vehicles. When the rains fall, rock-bottom creeks beckon the whole family to splash in the crystalline water. Of course, it’s also possible to just sit on a bench and enjoy looking at the expansive views are part of the property’s undeniable magic.

Mount Solitude offers the rare opportunity to own and steward a contiguous tract of quintessential Texas Hill Country close to urban amenities. As the Lone Star State continues to grow and change, so do the opportunities.

With the passage of time, this rare jewel likely will become even more valuable. In the meantime, savvy stewards of the future will allow political and economic drivers to do the work—as they enjoy life at Mount Solitude.
