About this property

Cottage on Exotic Animal Ranch -- Weekend Retreat in Texas Hill Country

  • Live inside a one-of-a-kind "Tiny Texas House," custom-commissioned by an artist in Luling, Texas. Each Tiny Texas Home is handcrafted using over 99% reclaimed vintage materials, no two are alike—each cottage is a unique piece of sustainable, energy-efficient, and non-toxic "House Art" you can live in. This means every railing, every ladder, and every intricate detail of this house was hand carved by one artist alone. It comfortably sleeps guests across two beds, featuring a main-floor full bed pullout, plus a cozy loft with a Queen bed accessible by ladder, alongside a full bathroom complete with toiletries. Out on the back porch, enjoy front-row views of our family-owned exotic animal ranch—a peaceful, live-and-let-live sanctuary our family has cherished for over 20 years. Unwind as zebra, addax, oryx, blackbuck, and Audad roam freely across the property, alongside free-ranging peacocks, chickens, longhorns, ducks goats and more. With year-round heating and air conditioning providing modern comfort inside, this tranquil retreat offers the perfect backdrop to slow down, recharge, reconnect with nature and experience the best of Driftwood and Wimberly. 45 minutes outside of Austin!
