Property Description
El Ranchito was designed by Mike Fischer, an award winning Santa Fe, New Mexico architect of adobe homes. The house architecture is so unique and of such quality it was used in the making of the award-winning HBO film Temple Grandin in 2010 featuring Claire Danes. It has 3 fireplaces (kivas), 5 operable sky light windows and 7 stained glass windows, multiple sets of antique doors and Latillas style ceilings harvested off of the property, with Saltillo Tile floors. The house is also built into the side of a hill, which gives the house a significant thermal mass construction for extreme energy efficiency. New Double paned insulted windows have been installed. Complete with a dependable well + 12,500 gallons rainwater cistern storage capacity, intentionally designed to diversify the water source for sustainability. The 5.78 acres are Located on the historic William B. Travis League of Land, in the epicenter of the Texas Hill Country entertainment zone.
