About this house rental

Full kitchen and dining room, king size beds, fire pit, Prochnow Vineyard and venue next door, very rural location, hike our 135 acres to Titanic point, 4 miles to Enchanted Rock, 2 miles to Contigo Wedding venue, ATV friendly, and 20 minutes to Fredericksburg.

Originally built in 1900, this incredible home is made of white limestone quarried from the nearby hillside by German stone masons. Two lime kilns used to make lime for the mortar are found near the house. Just renovated (2017), this property features new additions that create a lovely balance between its original characteristics and its modern upgrades. It is situated on 145 acres providing a hiking opportunity for guests.

“Das Enchanted Rock Haus” is situated on a grassy Crabapple valley with incredible views of the valley and nearby ranches.

The recent addition has cathedral ceilings featuring a living room with an entertainment area, limestone gas fireplace with a hand-finished mesquite mantel, and upstairs loft. This is the perfect space to gather with loved ones.

In the original home, you'll find a gourmet kitchen, formal dining room, living room, and 5 spacious bedrooms. You'll love the exposed limestone walls and 120 year old long leaf pine floors throughout.

A game room with a Foosball table location in the basement with seating for observers to enjoy the contests.

Each bedroom features a king bed, making it easy for you to relax and unwind in your own private space. Get ready for bed in one of the 4 en-suite bathrooms as you draw yourself a warm bubble bath or take a steamy hot shower! On the first floor, a shared bathroom doubles as a powder room and provides a private walk-in shower for the 5th bedroom. 2 of the rooms have beautiful tile tubs and 3 have large walk-in showers.

In the evening watch from the 2nd story deck as 20-30 whitetail deer forage each evening and listen for the wild turkeys calling to each other. View two llamas and free range chickens that compete with the deer for corn. Wild turkeys and armadillos are often sighted as well.

Guests will spend much of their time around the house (about 1 acre) and will have access to the 135 acres behind the house. They can hike through the valley and follow the pasture road to the mountain top point for a beautiful view of the valley. It is opportunity to see deer, cattle, wild turkeys, armadillos, road runners, and even native lizards. If the guests have 4-wheel drive pickup or SUV with 9 inches or better of clearance, they can drive the hiking trail. The road to the top of the mesa requires 4-wheel drive. A map and instructions are provided upon arrival.

Visit the town of Fredericksburg, just 12 miles away, and get to know the local culture through museums and historical sites. Each weekend there is some type of festival (car shows, crafts, and many others). In August, the Gillespie County Fair is held each summer and hosts a variety of events, including horse racing, bull riding, and much more! Known for its peaches, try a wide variety of peach infused foods, such as jams, ciders, ice cream, and more!

Take a chauffeured tour bus on US 290 to 17 award winning vineyards and wineries, before enjoying 44 wine tasting rooms throughout Fredericksburg, which is best known for their wineries and peaches.

This place is amazing. Exactly as pictured and beautiful location. The rooms were so comfortable. Stayed there with my extended family as we were celebrating my son's engagement. The ensuite bedrooms were so spacious and comfortable as was the one on the main floor. The large living room was great for a gathering place for the 12 of us staying there. Deer were running around in the front of the house as we drove in. We were not able to use the firepit while we were there so we may have to come back enjoy that. Mark stopped by to make sure everything was good and gave us his number to contact him if we had any issues. We had none. A gem of place and highly recommend it.

This house is so beautiful and the setting is private, surrounded by live oaks, wildflowers, lush green woods, deer, rabbits, and we even saw a road runner!The house is meticulous and so well maintained. It’s on a road where many cattle farms are so you are always seeing cattle and steer grazing. We all loved being there. I highly recommend this home.
