Rancho Sabino Grande

Set within the rare and beautiful riparian valley of the gin-clear Sabinal river west of San Antonio, this large ranch headquarters occupies a bluff overlooking a meadow lake, the twisting cypress line of the Sabinal river and the dramatic limestone crests of the Hill Country. Interiors are finished with premium woods including cypress, pecan and oak, much of which was harvested from and milled on the ranch property. A house of solid masonry, married to the bluff, was softened with the incorporation of hand-carved antique wood dredged from the bottom of forgotten swamps and ancient stone honed from the extinct quarries of antiquity.
