The extraordinary estate artfully unites history, function, and tranquil beauty.
History of Sisterdale Farm
Baron Ottmar Von Behr settled here in 1847 and gave Sisterdale, Texas, her name. Von Behr hosted several distinguished visitors, including Frederick Law Olmstead, an American landscape architect, journalist, social critic, and public administrator. Olmstead was recognized as one of the designers of Central Park in New York City. He actually wrote about this Sisterdale Ranch, or Texas Latin Settlement as he called it, in his book, "A Journey Through Texas."
Farming in the Hill Country
Sisterdale Farms is a highly productive 310+ acre low-fenced, live water ranch. A working farm since 1870, the property currently features an 85-acre hay field that produces between 200-550 round bales a year and a boar goat herd of up to 250 goats. In the past, the owners raised chickens and sold farm fresh eggs at the local farmers market. The portable egg mobile—housing up to 150 chickens—still lives on the property.
Fun For All Ages
Whether it’s hunting in the treehouse blind, floating down the cypress-lined Guadalupe River, or hosting parties and events at the main house or on the Old German Farm, this property allows for fun for all ages.
