35 Acres, Views & Ranch Improvements

MoonDance Ranch sits on approximately 35 acres of improved Texas Hill Country land. Electric entry gates, 1 water well, city water, two tanks and new fencing provide a private, well-maintained ranch setting, while the property's elevated location delivers exceptional long-range views.

The acreage features improved pastures and abundant native and exotic wildlife, including Axis deer, white-tailed deer, and wild turkey.

Additional improvements include:

Agricultural exemption

Multiple Electric entry gates

New fencing

Improved pastures

Three-car garage

Covered RV storage

Barn

Multiple additional outbuildings

City water

On-site water well

Tractor included with the sale

The combination of improved land, existing ranch infrastructure, water resources, wildlife, and spectacular views gives MoonDance Ranch an identity that extends well beyond its vacation-rental use.

Additional Homesite – Utilities Already Installed

The property includes an additional homesite with major infrastructure already in place:

Electric service

Water

Septic system

This provides a significant head start for a future owner interested in adding another residence, owner's home, guest house, or additional rental accommodations, subject to applicable requirements and approvals.

For an investment-minded buyer, the additional homesite provides another avenue for potential future growth while preserving the existing Hacienda and Casita.

Turnkey Vacation Rental Business

MoonDance Ranch is an established vacation rental property already configured, furnished, and equipped to accommodate large groups.

All furnishings are included in the sale, along with the tractor used to maintain the property. A new owner has the opportunity to acquire the real estate and furnished accommodations together and continue the property's existing vacation-rental use.

Sleeping up to 52 guests across two independent residences provides considerable operating flexibility. Both homes offer their own private outdoor amenities and entertainment areas, allowing groups to enjoy the entire ranch while maintaining separate living spaces.

MoonDance Ranch is particularly well suited for family reunions, multigenerational vacations, group getaways, retreats, family gatherings, Hill Country vacations, and extended stays.

The MoonDance Ranch Experience

MoonDance Ranch was built to enjoy the Texas Hill Country as much outdoors as indoors.

Each residence has its own private pool, hot tub, fire pit, BBQ pit, picnic tables, outdoor television, and surround-sound system. Guests can spend the day around the pool, grill and watch a game outside, gather around the fire in the evening, or relax in the hot tub while taking in the surrounding Hill Country. The Hacienda also features a putting green.

Beyond the entertainment areas are approximately 35 acres of improved pastures, open space, and abundant wildlife. Axis deer, white-tailed deer, and wild turkey add to the property's natural character and authentic ranch atmosphere.

And throughout it all is the view. From its position high on a hill, MoonDance Ranch looks out across the surrounding Texas Hill Country. Sunrise, sunset, wildlife, and wide-open Texas skies become part of the experience rather than simply the backdrop.
