Most properties are found. But every once in a while, a property finds you.

Welcome to Mystic Sky Ranch--a soul-stirring 26.6-acre ranch in the Texas Hill Country, where land stretches wide, history runs deep, and beauty feels sacred. Rooted in legacy and designed for a life well lived, this rare convergence of nature, architecture, and soul was once part of the historic Peyton Colony. Rolling hills, heritage oaks, and curated structures come together to offer something truly extraordinary.


In total, the ranch offers 10,000+ sq ft of living and gathering space: a 3,000-sf main residence by David Webber of Webber + Studio, four guest casitas, a 3,200-sf dining hall with commercial kitchen (could be turned into an additional residence as part of a Family Compound), 1,800-sf event barn, and pool pavilion with kitchen and bath. Each space is distinct yet unified in design--an intentional blend of utility, soul, and Hill Country character. The property also features a 60,000-gallon rain-water collection system.

The stone-and-glass main residence rises from the hillside, blending indoors and out. A glass-wrapped kitchen anchors warm, intimate living spaces, while outdoor dining areas, a wood-fired pizza oven, and twinkle-lit trees create magic. Guest casitas tucked into the trees invite rest, while a sauna, sunlit pool, bocce courts, and hammocks encourage leisure.

Connection is the heartbeat of the ranch, with gathering spaces that host weddings, retreats, and celebrations. A 150-year-old oak, lavender fields, winding trails, and wildlife exemption underscore its natural beauty. Located in a Dark Sky community just 35 minutes from downtown Austin, Mystic Sky Ranch offers rare seclusion within reach.

Currently home to a successful retreat and event venue, it presents not only a private sanctuary but also a thriving business opportunity--an inspiring legacy of beauty, connection, and possibility.
