6+ ACRES at HIGHLAND WATERS This Bandera landmark is the crown jewel of one of the most desirable areas in the Texas Hill Country. Built in the 30’s and originally known as Lovelace Castle, this limestone home features many architectural details prevalent in Bandera’s heyday of Dude Ranches and Sunday Houses.
The iconic stone “castle” has primary and secondary living quarters with a kitchen in each, plus two adjacent guest rooms. There is a detached, 4-guestroom Carriage House with 4-bay garage behind the main home. This unique property currently operates as Diamond H Ranch, a popular bed and breakfast hosting family and corporate gatherings. The owners are retiring from their hospitality enterprise to join family in another part of the state. The new owners can choose to continue the B&B or just relax and entertain family and friends.
Historic Highland Waters fronts over 2 miles of the sparkling, clear Medina River, which is accessible to Highland Waters property owners. There are numerous “put in” and “get out” places along the river in this area for kayaking and tubing one of the most beautiful, cypress-lined stretches of the Medina River.

The smaller, secondary living quarters consist of the original home and its first addition. There is a living room with rock fireplace, kitchen, two bedrooms and one bathroom in this part of the home. It is cozy and comfortable and can either be open or totally separate from the larger part of the home.
Upstairs at the Carriage House are four guestrooms with western décor and private bathrooms in each. A very generous balcony provides fresh air seating for relaxing or playing dominoes. There is 4-bay garage and workshop below the guestrooms.
Diamond H Ranch: $825,000. Reduced to $695,000. (Owners have completed their retirement home and are ready to transition.)
In addition to the 6+ ACRE parcel with the home and carriage house, there is adjacent acreage (approximately 4 acres) for sale at $150,000. The well is already drilled, and the tract fronts on the Highland Waters park with access to the Medina River.
