Rio Oro Ranch is a fabulous live water property conveniently located just 10 minutes north of main street Boerne with a custom limestone ranch house that blends in seamlessly with the surrounding topography and overlooks a canvas of live oaks and native grassland sweeping down to the Cypress-lined Guadalupe River valley below.

Improvements on the Ranch
The 6,500 sf headquarters, designed by renowned architect Craig McMahon and built by Billy Johnson, both Lake Flato alumns, has a total of 6 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms and is comprised of five buildings – main lodge, master suite, guest house, carport and barn – that are connected by breezeways and a central courtyard. The owners chose local materials for the construction of the house, including limestone and red oak, and wanted the footprint of the buildings to be one with the landscape. The builder and architect designed the house to be extremely efficient, installing a geothermal heating and cooling system coupled with natural breezeways off every room that cool the house 10 degrees with natural ventilation. The floor-to-ceilings windows in each room make you feel as if you’re living seamlessly within the surrounding nature. The focal point of the interior of the house is the gorgeous great-room with Douglas Fir walls and ceilings and a double-sided fireplace with a cozy study/TV room on the backside. The outdoor area is set up perfect for entertaining with the swimming pool, alfresco dining patio, grilling area, and pizza oven. Other improvements include a nice pole barn with attached shop, livestock barn, and large covered hay barn.
