Willow Bend Ranch: A Blend of History and Modern Comfort in the Texas Hill Country Nestled in the heart of the Texas Hill Country, Willow Bend Ranch is a unique property offering a blend of historic charm and modern amenities. Located on the south end of the renowned Willow City Bluebonnet Loop, this property features a meticulously restored log cabin, originally built in 1870 in South Carolina and relocated in 1999. The cabin serves as the heart of the home, showcasing hand-hewn logs and rustic elegance. The living room boasts vaulted ceilings, a wood-burning fireplace, and a loft ideal for a home office or retreat. The expansive front porch, with its 20-inch cypress plank floors, offers panoramic views of Enchanted Rock and the surrounding countryside. At sunrise and sunset, the changing colors of the landscape are truly breathtaking, and the star-filled Texas sky at night provides an unforgettable backdrop. In 2000, a traditional limestone Hill Country-style house was added, seamlessly blending with the historic cabin. The spacious kitchen features stainless steel appliances, a farmhouse sink, and a gas range. The dining area and numerous windows frame stunning views of the surrounding landscape. The master suite provides a peaceful retreat with vaulted ceilings, a large walk-in closet, and an en-suite bath with a clawfoot tub, walk-in shower, and double vanity. A private library adjacent to the master makes a perfect art studio, reading space or flex room . Upstairs, two additional bedrooms and a well-appointed guest bath offer ample space for family or guests. Willow Bend Ranch combines rustic charm with modern comforts. It features four energy-efficient A/C units, a water softener, and a Generac whole-house generator. The property is supplied by a private well, producing 3-8 gallons per minute from 260 feet deep, ensuring high-quality water. The ranch is currently under an agricultural exemption, which can be easily maintained by the new owner. The sale includes three adorable miniature donkeys-Bonita, Bella, and Rosa-who help maintain the exemption and bring joy to the property. Outside, Willow Bend Ranch spans 25 acres of scenic land, offering majestic oak trees and abundant wildlife.
