Property Overview
Imagine stepping out your back door, walking down the hill, and finding a swimming hole with a limestone bottom that glows blue-green in the sun, shaded by oaks and sycamores. That’s the signature moment at Loafer’s Glory Ranch, where Bear Creek widens into this stunning natural pool before flowing on toward the San Gabriel River. Upstream, a hidden ravine adds to the magic, with water emerging from the hillside and cascading over mineral deposits and rock ledges into small waterfalls and pools.
This full outdoor experience sits just 9 minutes from downtown Liberty Hill, Texas. Downtown Austin is 35 miles away, about a 45-minute drive, making the ranch equally suited as a full-time residence or a weekend retreat for friends and family.
The land itself lies just west of the North Fork of the San Gabriel River, rising in gentle rolling terrain. A high knoll on the western side offers sweeping river valley views, while the eastern side climbs toward hilltop vistas visible from the porch of a 1920s bungalow on site. Open pastures, tree-lined draws, and scattered oaks shelter a robust population of whitetail deer, turkeys, and hogs, with varied terrain that supports natural bedding, feeding, and travel patterns. A native sunflower field in full summer bloom hints at prime dove hunting potential come fall.
The home matches the setting’s ambition. A two-story log home with a full basement was thoughtfully designed to pair craftsmanship with everyday comfort and positioned for easy access to the creek. The main level centers on an open-concept kitchen, dining, and living area anchored by a commercial-grade kitchen, along with the primary suite, laundry room, a bathroom with a jet tub and shower, and a screened porch that wraps around much of the house. Upstairs, two guest suites each have private baths and share a loft overlooking the living area below. The basement expands the possibilities further with two more guest rooms, a media room, a fitness space, a game area, a full bath, a steam shower, and a sauna. Heated floors run through every bathroom, and serious storm protection comes built in, with a Category 4-rated shelter and a separate Category 5 storm room.
Additional structures round out the offering: an unfinished 1920s bungalow, relocated from downtown Austin and still awaiting renovation, and a separate 2025 manufactured home with three bedrooms and two baths near the front of the property, with its own access from Blessing Ranch Road. That second home opens the door to staff housing, guest space, or rental income.
Water infrastructure is well established, too, with an existing well and septic system serving the main home, a second well near the barn for agricultural use, and a 2.5-inch waterline along Blessing Road providing access to city water for anyone who wants it.
