Rancho De Vida Entire Property
Located in: Johnson City, TX


Rancho De Vida – Entire Property is a private Hill Country retreat set on 68 sweeping acres just outside Johnson City, Texas. Designed for gatherings that matter—family reunions, wellness retreats, milestone celebrations, and group getaways—this expansive ranch blends authentic farmhouse character with resort-style amenities, generous outdoor space, and room to truly spread out. With two distinct living structures, a full-size swimming pool, and a dedicated pickleball setup, this is a property built for both connection and play.
The estate includes a beautifully restored main farmhouse and a striking modern bunkhouse, offering flexibility and comfort for larger groups while maintaining privacy and flow. The main farmhouse is rich with warmth and timeless charm. Downstairs, the primary bedroom features a queen bed with plush linens and easy access to a memorable full bathroom showcasing a modern vanity, original high-tank pull-chain toilet, and a classic clawfoot tub with a handheld shower. Upstairs, two additional bedrooms provide inviting sleeping spaces—one with a queen and full bed beneath a pitched ceiling, and another with a queen bed, natural wood-paneled walls, and dramatic floor-to-ceiling windows. A farmhouse-style half bath upstairs adds convenience without sacrificing character.
The farmhouse kitchen is built for shared meals and easy entertaining, featuring a commercial-grade electric range, full-size appliances, farmhouse sink, and counter seating for four. The adjacent dining room centers around a large farmhouse table that seats eight comfortably, perfect for long dinners and late-night conversations. Just off the entry, the sunroom adds flexible space with a twin bed and abundant natural light. The living room invites guests to settle in with a plush sofa, oversized chair, streaming TV, and thoughtfully curated décor that reflects the relaxed rhythm of ranch life.
A short walk away, the modern bunkhouse adds a dramatic and functional complement to the farmhouse. Floor-to-ceiling windows frame views of the pool and rolling countryside, while a massive sectional sofa and large streaming TV make this an ideal group hangout. A coffee bar with Keurig and mini fridge keeps mornings easy. The bunkhouse bathroom is exceptionally well-designed, offering two full private bath suites within one space—each with its own walk-in shower and toilet—separated by a central double vanity so multiple guests can get ready at once with complete privacy. The bunk room itself is available for an additional charge and can sleep up to nine guests, making it ideal for larger groups who want extra capacity without crowding the main house.
The outdoor amenities truly set Rancho De Vida apart. Guests enjoy exclusive access to a full-size private swimming pool measuring 32 feet wide, offering ample space for swimming, floating, and group enjoyment. The pool features a tanning ledge and a raised deck with loungers, creating a resort-like setting in the heart of the Hill Country.
Pickleball lovers will appreciate the oversized Quonset hut, outfitted with café lighting and a dedicated pickleball court complete with equipment. Whether hosting friendly matches, casual rallies, or group tournaments, this space provides a fun, weather-flexible activity hub that’s perfect for all ages and skill levels. The Quonset hut can also be used for approved events and group activities.
Additional outdoor highlights include a large dining table for twelve under a majestic oak tree strung with café lights, a sunset seating area at the highest point of the property with Adirondack chairs and benches, a custom fire pit, and a private outdoor shower enclosed by a rock wall for an unforgettable al fresco experience.
Surrounded by open skies and native landscape, Rancho De Vida is ideal for stargazing and wildlife viewing, with frequent sightings of deer, foxes, and birds. Despite its peaceful, private setting, the property is conveniently located near wineries, historic attractions, and downtown Johnson City.
Whether you’re planning an active group getaway filled with pickleball matches and pool days or a restorative retreat grounded in nature and connection, Rancho De Vida offers a Hill Country experience that feels expansive, intentional, and unforgettable.
