Many properties in Lake Travis and the Hill Country area are on some significant acreage.  People refer to them as ranches but very few are actually working livestock.  These days, the term “ranch” really refers to property with some acreage allowing for privacy.

One of our listings, Rancho Estacia, is a great example of a private, luxury ranch that’s not a “working ranch.”  Although it does have excellent horse facilities, this estate was built for entertaining and recreation.  Find out more about this property by clicking on the image or going here.
