Hill Country Ranchette

Spring time turns all of us equestrians into optimists.  "Oh the weather's so nice, I bet I could keep my horse at home" and all of that nonsense.  We forget about living in a scorched earth state, where the bugs and reptiles are the size of dogs.  Realtors are clever folk and start listing flower-filled properties with warm, happy animals grazing on lush grass around this time.  It looks peaceful and quiet.  And smells (in our mind) like spring without even a hint of manure.

So it's around this time of year that this 10 acre property outside of Austin, Texas in Dripping Springs start to look a lot like "home."  It has an 11 stall horse barn with wash bays, tack room, laundry room, and storage / viewing room and a 125 x 250 ft sand arena.  The property backs up to a seasonal creek and has plenty of paddocks and sheds for your ponies.  You can even live on-site in a cute little 1700 square foot farm house, with an open floor plan downstairs with the living and kitchen area.  Countryside living with Austin within an hour drive?  Sounds pretty perfect for our crew.

Now, I only need it to never get above 90 degrees, with dependable rain fall, and zero bugs and snakes ever.  And also a job that allows me to work remotely.  That's not too much to ask for, right?
