Welcome to 717 Puerto Rico Dr. In Escondido Ranch, a fitting name for this 20 +/- acre Hill Country retreat. Escondido, meaning “hidden treasure, ” perfectly captures the spirit of this property: tucked away, private, and thoughtfully prepared for its next owner. Its location on the eastern side of Wimberley offers the best of both worlds, just minutes to the Wimberley Square while also equidistant to popular restaurants like Hays City Store, Whiskey Ridge, and Mean Eyed Cat. The land has been carefully improved with both beauty and usability in mind. A newly built private road allows smooth access across the property, while an oak tree survey highlights the distribution of heritage hardwoods. Selective cedar clearing has opened up the canopy, encouraging native grasses and wildflowers to return, restoring wildlife habitat, and enhancing the property’s natural character. There are several building sites on this property that would give you that million dollar view! Water and recreation are already established. A producing well, protected by a brand-new well house provides reliability for future use. At the heart of the ranch, a pond is already on its way to becoming a thriving fishery, with forage species such as fathead minnows introduced to lay the foundation for long-term pond health and future angling enjoyment. The property also carries a wildlife exemption, providing favorable tax benefits while supporting conservation efforts. Wildlife is abundant here, and the surrounding area is home to a free-ranging population of blackbuck antelope, a rare and striking addition to the Hill Country landscape. Whether you envision a weekend escape, a recreational ranch, or a forever homestead, 717 Puerto Rico is more than just land, it’s a hidden treasure where natural beauty and thoughtful improvements come together, ready for you to make it your own.
