Property Description
Perched atop the highest point of the ranch, this stunning Lake Flato Architects Porch House perfectly captures the essence of sustainable country living. Designed with simplicity, connection to the landscape, and modern efficiency in mind, this one-of-a-kind home is the centerpiece of this 83 acre Medina County retreat offering privacy, recreation, and off-grid independence. The Porch House consists of three distinct units connected by covered porches and walkways; each designed with purpose and style. All three units feature fossilized bamboo floors, eastern red cedar siding, Marvin windows, and their own A/C units, combining natural materials with modern comfort and exceptional craftsmanship: -The main living unit features a spacious living area with stunning views, a full kitchen, and a laundry room. -The primary suite unit offers a serene owner retreat with a full bath, walk-in closet, and outside shower. Just off the primary bedroom is a screened-in deck, perfect for relaxing and enjoying the hilltop breezes in comfort. -The third unit is a guest house, separate from the primary residence and includes two bedrooms and one bath, providing comfort and privacy for visitors. Between the primary suite and main living unit lies a cozy outdoor fireplace, the perfect place to take in the hilltop vistas and evening breezes. The western red cedar deck extends the living space outdoors, providing a warm, inviting area to enjoy the views and tranquil surroundings. Energy efficiency and self-sufficiency are at the heart of this property. The home is powered by 60 high-efficiency solar panels feeding two Tesla Powerwalls, providing reliable energy to all improvements around the home. Nearby amenities include covered parking for three vehicles, a storage shed, a hot tub with stunning views, and a 25-meter lap pool that overlooks the surrounding landscape. Just down from the main residence sit two metal barns. One includes a water well and cistern along with equipment storage, while the second barn fully insulated and air-conditioned is currently used as a private gym. Both barns are supported by 22kW Generac backup generators, ensuring continuous operation in any condition. The ranch is well-watered with two water wells, a 1/2 acre stocked tank(channel cats, hybrid bluegill, carp, and minnows), and 11 acre-feet of water rights from the Bexar-Medina-Atascosa Counties Water Control and Improvement District. Recreation abounds with a shooting range, excellent native brush cover(approximately 30% of the land), and strip-mowed areas designed to enhance quail habitat. Wildlife on the ranch includes whitetail deer, hogs, javelina, turkey, quail, and dove. The property also carries a wildlife tax exemption, adding to its appeal and efficiency. Mineral rights will convey with the sale. Every element of this property has been designed for off-grid living, blending architectural excellence with thoughtful sustainability. Whether used as a private homestead, weekend retreat, or recreational ranch, this Medina County property represents the ideal balance of modern comfort and natural beauty.
