Transition Ranch

The Experience

Between the southwestern edge of the rolling hills and live oak savannahs of the Hill Country and the mesquite and cactus-covered South Texas Plains lies a vibrant ecosystem filled with Golden-cheeked Warblers, Black-capped Vireos, and multiple varieties of orioles, hummingbirds, butterflies, and charismatic mammals. Explore almost 2,000 acres on some of the rarest and most gentle horses in the US, Peruvian Pasos, take advantage of world-class bird and wildlife photography blinds or relax by the pool. Meals are prepared with ingredients from the ranch and cooked in both contemporary and traditional styles.

The Accommodations

The accommodations are designed to sleep nine comfortably and provide private access to a pool and hot tub. One casita, Casita Azul, has a king bed, a twin bed, and two loft beds. Casita Marron has two twin beds and a loft bed. The tack room offers additional capacity for one and all guests have access to the main house for their host-prepared meals.

The Conservation Ethic

What sets Transition Ranch apart is its respect for history and dedication to the future of land management and natural resource stewardship. Raised terra preta mounds, noticeable for their lush and brilliant flora, are scattered and intentionally protected throughout the property. These sites hold the remains of ancient indigenous cooking areas and sequester carbon for thousands of years rather than releasing it into the atmosphere and boost plant productivity through their ability to retain nutrients and moisture. Located throughout the property are new water and food sources for wildlife, wetlands and photography blinds, open prairies, a variety of trails and most importantly, space to enjoy and appreciate this wild Texas treasure.
