Welcome to Cricket Hill Ranch, a 15 acre retreat located just West of Dripping Springs. The ranch is not only a primary residence, but has also functioned as an award-winning wedding venue, now a successful short term rental property. The owners designed the main residence to function as both a venue and comfortable space to live in. The primary suite wing with adjoining ensuite guest room can be closed off from the rest of the home, allowing private spaces to remain just that; private. Upstairs, you'll find two ensuite guest rooms which were previously used as a bridal suite and a groomsmen suite. The generous kitchen is perfect for accommodating large parties, caterers, etcetera, and can be closed off from the great room. There is additional access from an exterior door, which makes it very easy to hide the "behind the scenes" goings on. Airy and bright, the great room functions as living space, dining space and event space. With its grand floor to ceiling stone fireplace, 2 Juliet balconies, beamed ceilings & custom wall of windows, the great room is a fantastic multi-purpose space. A home office, laundry room, & guest bath finish out the main floor's interior space. Step outside to one of several patio spaces where you'll find an outdoor bar, two half bathrooms, & intimate spaces as well as gathering areas. The second story terrace offers stunning panoramic views of the Texas Hill Country and amazing sunsets. The rustic-inspired barn, dance floor/stage, & fire pit round out the Western side of the property. Behind the house is the gated and fenced resort-style swimming pool & 2 tiny homes with full living amenities, plus the 3 car garage with upstairs bunk room. Excellent location close to Austin & San Antonio. Local dining, shopping & entertainment are all within a short drive. Local parks, including Pedernales Falls State Park & Hamilton Pool Preserve, surround the ranch. Dripping Springs schools!
