Your Own Private Stretch of the Guadalupe Tucked behind a custom iron ranch gate on Rock Bottom Road, this extensively renovated Hill Country retreat delivers the rare combination of riverfront living, generous acreage, and a home built to gather - whether that means family weekends, corporate retreats, or a thriving short-term rental operation.

Neighboring the legendary MO Ranch and framed by an 80-foot limestone bluff rising from the North Fork of the Guadalupe River, this is the kind of property people drive the Hill Country hoping to find. The main residence is a two-story, stone-and-metal-roof home that was taken down to the studs and thoughtfully rebuilt in 2020 with modern infrastructure - new PEX plumbing, mini-split HVAC throughout, and LED lighting - while preserving the authentic Texas character that makes it special. Wood paneling in the great room wall with historic cattle ranch brands, a floor-to-ceiling limestone fireplace, live-edge bar tops, and hand-selected western furnishings give the interiors a warmth and identity that no new build can replicate. The open-concept kitchen, dining, and living area is designed for large groups. A massive quartzite-topped island anchors the kitchen, surrounded by white shaker cabinetry, subway tile backsplash, open wood shelving, and stainless appliances. The adjacent dining room seats ten comfortably at a trestle table, with additional bar seating at a stunning live-edge pecan slab counter. Beyond, the great room offers plush seating around the stone fireplace with a mounted TV with sound sound and wood mantel - the perfect spot after a day on the river. Step through 16' sliding glass doors to discover the property's true magic: a sweeping backyard that rolls gently down to your own stretch of the Guadalupe. A concrete patio with Adirondack chairs surrounds a steel fire pit, and a timber-frame pavilion houses an outdoor kitchen with multiple grills, ceiling fans, and room to host a proper Texas barbecue. Views from here take in the river bottom, the dramatic rock bluff across the water, and nothing but open sky and Hill Country canopy beyond. The home sleeps 16 as configured, with the potential to accommodate 24. The master suite features vaulted wood-plank ceilings, a king bed, sliding door access to a private deck, a leather recliner, and a spa-style bath with dual vessel sinks on a cypress wood vanity set against an interior limestone wall. A second king bedroom offers similarly refined finishes with its own patio access. The expansive upstairs bunk room - with multiple bunk beds, a full bed, a daybed, and an adjoining game room - is a dream for families or groups. The game room delivers with a pool table, foosball, shuffleboard, mounted deer, shiplap walls, and its own sitting area. A nine-person hot tub, purchased in 2021 and regularly serviced, rounds out the entertainment offerings. Additional spaces include a western-themed sitting room with Hill Country art and a horse saddle display, a secondary living area with sectional sofa, a coffee bar nook, and a charming powder room with a reclaimed cypress wood longhorn vanity and hammered copper sink. Every bathroom has been updated with tile showers, quality fixtures, and thoughtful details. The property spans multiple parcels along Rock Bottom Road with mature live oak groves, wildlife feeders, and a covered chuck wagon near the river - a nod to the ranching heritage of the area. A well with UV filtration system and 3,000-gallon storage tank ensures reliable water. A storage shed and ample parking handle the practical side of hosting. Located minutes from Hunt, Ingram, and Kerrville, you're close to wineries, outfitters, and the vibrant culture of the Hill Country - yet behind that ranch gate, you could be a hundred miles from anywhere. Whether you're seeking a legacy family compound, a turnkey vacation rental, or simply a place where the river is your backyard and the stars are your ceiling, Rock Bottom delivers.
