A retreat hidden in Texas Hill Country is nabbing some attention after it was listed on the real estate market for $1.5 million.
Heard of “glamping?” It’s a combination of “camping” and “glamour” to form a very appealing portmanteau for those who aren’t very keen on getting down and dirty with sleeping on a forest floor. And Moonacre Ranch, a 13-acre retreat, is made for those looking for that.
“Once part of a vast family estate dating back to the 1870s, this secluded property blends rustic charm with modern comfort,” the listing on Compass describes.
“Featured in Texas Monthly and Community Impact, Moonacre Ranch is a haven of privacy, serenity, and opportunity. As an unrestricted property, it offers limitless potential—expand with additional yurts, create a multi-home community, or establish a commercial venture. With space for horses, gardens, or a self-sustaining homestead, the possibilities are endless.”
A yurt is a dome-shaped, sturdy shelter that could be made of different materials like cloth or wood, making it more durable than a tent. And the ones on Moonacre are almost too good to be true.
“Designed for comfort and sustainability, the property features two luxurious, climate-controlled Pacific Yurts, adorned with Morocco- and India-inspired furnishings. Engineered for strength and energy efficiency, their circular design enhances space, natural light, and airflow. Expansive decks provide the perfect setting for al fresco dining and relaxation,” the listing says.
The listing is held by the Grossman Jones Group, Compass.
The ranch is in Spicewood, about a 35-mile drive northwest from Austin.
