Bandera County
Cedar Mesa Ranch – Nestled in the hills of Tarpley, Texas
1401 Cedar Mesa Rd Tarpley, TX 78883
Description
Located just 4 miles from Tarpley in the heart of scenic Bandera County, Cedar Mesa Ranch spans 112.64 beautifully contoured acres with over 360 feet of elevation change and expansive Hill Country views. A seasonal creek running through the center of the property, along with a scenic pond, adds a peaceful water feature that blends utility and beauty. The land has been carefully managed with extensive cedar clearing, promoting healthy oak cover, improved grass growth, and a cleared food plot ready for wildlife planting. The ranch is gated with keypad access and features a mix of open space and cross-fenced pastures—ideal for horses or livestock.
The custom-built main home sits on a high point, capturing panoramic views across the ranch and overlooking a resort-style pool with a waterfall feature, extensive patio space, a screened-in porch, and a fire pit. Inside the 1,916 sq ft home, you'll find 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a recently remodeled kitchen with granite countertops, vaulted ceilings, and a large stone fireplace. A wraparound porch enhances the hilltop setting, and an enclosed animal habitat is attached to protect small pets from predators. A recently installed 24kW Generac backup generator serves both the main home and the luxury apartment, providing added peace of mind.
Just steps from the seasonal creek sits a 1-bedroom, 1-bath guest house with a wraparound porch—perfect for guests or quiet escapes. Additional accommodations include a 768 sq ft “man-cave” luxury apartment with a full kitchen, spacious living room, and a second-story covered patio that offers some of the best sunset views on the property. A covered breezeway provides convenient parking attached to the main home. Nearby, you'll find a three-sided covered garage, a tractor barn, and a horse barn complete with two stalls and a tack room.
Cedar Mesa Ranch is a turnkey Hill Country retreat with strong recreational appeal. Hunting is well-established with feeders and blinds already in place, and the area is known for its healthy native game population, along with occasional exotics. With two water wells, excellent access, and quality improvements throughout, this property is perfectly suited for full-time living, weekend getaways, or a family ranch within easy reach of San Antonio.
