The Texas Hill Country Guadalupe River Ranch

hether you’re a family patriarch or an investor wanting to enjoy the fruits of your labor the luxurious Texas Hill Country Guadalupe River Ranch offers a wealth of opportunities. Now operated commercially as a recreational ranch for families, it has become famous in Central Texas for world-class luxury nestled in a gorgeous Hill Country setting near the town of Comfort. “I think what makes this place special is that it’s a luxurious ranch environment that blends the best of the Hill Country with the indoor/outdoor nature of a family ranch,” says owner Chris Havens. “Everything is built with a personal, intimate feel.” Among the amenities that transcend the normal family ranch is an outstanding restaurant with indoor and outdoor kitchens, open to the public in its present use a ranch resort. Culinary classes are popular, held on the terrace with Koi ponds landscaped with colorful native Texas plants. Down the hill, you can fly-fish, swim, tube and canoe on your own, almost mile long, stretch of the Guadalupe River. Guests also can swim in the ranch’s lovely landscaped pool. No Texas ranch would be complete without a horse barn. The ranch offers an equestrian center, including four barns with six stall stables, and extensive irrigated pastures with Coastal Bermuda hay. “There’s so much here, everyday can be a little different,” Havens continues. “You really have to see it to understand the possibilities.’” The heart of the ranch is a casually elegant eight-bedroom main house with other hilltop guesthouses and cottages, a two-story gaming or guesthouse, and an 1870s farmhouse containing three suites and large living spaces. All have been updated to 21st century standards. Imagine

inviting friends and family for a week, or knowing that rooms are full of paying guests. Either way, the satisfaction is enormous. With its houses, recreation, restaurants and diversified activities, the property is practically a community to itself. Yet airports in Boerne and Kerrville are minutes away, and the San Antonio International Airport is a 45-minute drive. World-class shopping at the Shops at La Cantera and golfing at numerous award-winning courses is even closer. While a new owner may choose to enjoy the ranch privately and create a gold-plated legacy, the ranch lends itself to at least two commercial possibilities other than serving as a special events or conference destination. For one, its established tempranillo and viognier grape stocks could be expanded on the vast pastureland primed for grape growing and wine making. Says Havens, “What really makes this ranch perfect as a winery are all the amazing settings designed and built around enjoying wine. Turning this ranch into the next top Texas Hill Country wine destination is definitely a possibility.” Ironically, the spectacular resort complex also would make an ideal home for a health and wellness center. Says listing broker Rick Kuper, “The central U.S. doesn’t have anything with a setting perfect for addressing the mental, emotional and physical health we strive for. I believe a secluded, high-end health center in the Texas Hill Country would draw clientele from all over the country.” This elaborate mix of architecture and rugged nature seems to have sprung from the minds of Willie Nelson, Yves St. Laurent and Robert Mondavi, with Renee Fleming’s warmth and elegance. Perhaps the next imprint will be yours. To learn more, visit www.guadaluperiverranch.net or contact Rick Kuper with Kuper Sotheby’s International Realty at 210.240.8282.

Picosa Ranch W

hen John B. Connally, three-term governor from 1963 to 1969, wanted to escape politics, it was to Picosa Ranch, 30 miles from downtown San Antonio, he and his wife, Nellie, retreated. When entertaining Presidents and other leaders, they hosted parties at the same destination. Connally was proud of his lifelong homestead, maintained through his tenure as governor, Secretary of the Navy and Secretary of the Treasury. His presence is still felt throughout the ranch, especially in his office where memorabilia have been preserved. Some 40 years later, its sale will provide a new family the opportunity to create its own legacy at Picosa Ranch. With its proximity to San Antonio, increasingly a mecca of cultural and culinary arts, and to the Eagle Ford Shale, the property is an amazing opportunity for many varied ventures. “Newcomers to Texas are fleeing high local and state taxes, cold weather, high crime and other problems,” said listing broker Rick Kuper of Kuper Sotheby’s International Realty. “The Picosa Ranch, deep in the heart of Texas, affords a golden opportunity to build a legacy for generations to come.”

Building a family legacy is all the more enjoyable knowing income from the Picosa’s extensive hunting operation can offset the ranch’s operating costs. With many luxurious trappings, hunting at Picosa Ranch is popular for corporate retreats and business transactions as well as serious social gettogethers. Among established breeds are trophy white tailed deer, upland game birds and exotic eland, oryx, addax and waterbucks. Presently hunt packages last four days and three nights and include a guide, in-field transportation, game care, bass fishing and trap shooting. Hunters see an average of 30 bucks a day, more when the rut is on. Guests may fly onto the property via a 4,400-foot lighted airstrip; or, San Antonio International Airport is no more than 45 minutes away. One of the benefits of continuing the commercial side of the ranch is its separation from the owners’ residence, many acres removed, at The South Range Lodge. This compound includes six finely appointed suites, each with handtooled leather accessories and a luxurious bathroom. The suites’ wraparound porch invites long talks or studying nature. Between the main lodge and suites is a lagoon-like sunken pool with a swim-up bar. Within the lodge, itself a stylish renovation of a cattle barn, guests gather at the pool table, massive stone fireplace and flat screen TVs or play a game outdoors. A full outdoor kitchen, called The Pit, has a fully equipped kitchen, surround sound and three large flat-screen TVs with BluRay all under a covered flagstone pavilion accommodates up to 40 tables. Meanwhile back home….the Connally’s luxurious 8,200-square-foot main house was built with grand spaces for living and entertaining. Soaring ceilings and walls of glass create a modern sensibility, accentuated by native limestone and indigenous woods. Behind the main house is a four-bedroom

guest house designed by famed architect O’Neil Ford, and a private swimming pool. Residents enjoy nearby fishing at the on-site Fish Camp, as well as skeet shooting, horseback riding, swimming, biking, tennis, hunting or camera safaris. World-class golf and shopping are less than 45 minutes away in San Antonio. For equestrians, horses thrive at a 43-stable horse barn with a full-size rodeo arena.

olf, tennis, horseback riding...these recreations can be found at many resorts and even in a handful of residential communities. But team roping?

“By far it’s the most difficult sport I’ve ever tried,” says Tom Spitsnaugle, co-founder of a website that presents training videos by world-class ropers. “With two horses, two riders and an unpredictable steer, you’ve got five brains and that means anything can happen. It happens very fast; you have to be able ride your horse and handle a rope.” As it happens, Tom Cusick, owner and developer of the 1,000-acre Estancia gated residential community, is an avid team-roping competitor

along with friend, country recording star and Estancia homesteader George Strait. This explains the presence of a world-class equestrian center and arena on the grounds where they and friends can improve their methods. The arena’s professional quality and features such as an arena balcony, perfect for capturing shots of bucking horses and steers, persuaded Spitsnaugle – a successful Dallas businessman in an earlier life – to select Estancia as one of several arenas nationwide in which to shoot training videos and action vignettes. He and a crew of champion team ropers, Jake Barnes, Clay O’Brien Cooper, Bobby Harris, Cesar de la Cruz, Charles Pogue and Bret Beach, from throughout the United States spent several days in late October and early February shooting at the facility. As you can see by viewing samples at www.totalteamroping.com, it’s

an exciting sport. The potential earnings are considerable and these cowboys expect the best in facilities and locales. Plus, they enjoy the plush, but rustic proximity of the arena’s private cantina. Since team roping is catching on nationally and worldwide – Spitsnaugle says up to 300,000 people globally are estimated to participate in the pricey sport. – Estancia’s covered equestrian center and cedar riding ring may add to the community’s luster for adventurous homebuyers. However, for most families, Estancia’s other recreational offerings more than meet their requirements. They seem to be everywhere you look: There’s the 400-acre private lake, Lake Estancia, stocked with bass and catfish, perfect for fishing and canoeing. There’s the 200 acres of greenbelt with 10 miles of tree-lined riding, biking and hiking trails, the football and soccer fields and the lakeside baseball diamond. The Lakeside Pavilion, with a 1,400 square foot patio and handcrafted stone fireplace, is a spectacular place for family picnics. Wide-open spaces are perfect for Estancia’s skeet deck, perched among trees. (Help your child to excel at it – some colleges offer scholarships in the sport!) Or, you can practice your swing on the threepar golf course in preparation for play at the adjacent Resort at Tapatio Springs, which offers golf and dining memberships. From its upper elevations, some of the highest in Kendall County, miles of rolling Hill Country terrain surround Estancia. Developer and Boerne businessman Cusick enjoyed the property with his family as part of the larger Thunder Valley Ranch he purchased in the ‘90s as a return to an

•

early family ranching tradition. In 2006 he decided to share Estancia’s lifestyle, creating a private, family-friendly, gated residential community emphasizing an active but luxurious lifestyle. San Antonio’s premier luxury real estate company, Kuper Sotheby’s International Realty, has exclusive marketing and sales rights for the development’s 29 remaining lots, and is also working with preferred builders designing custom homes for buyers. Private architects and builders are also welcome. Of the original 75 homes sites, the 29 remaining lots range from 3 to 25 acres in two phases. Recently sold is a 5,693 square foot custom home by Burdick & Christofilis, originally priced at $1,795,000. Minimum home size in Estancia is 3,000 square feet.
