A Hill Country Classic...
Built in the mid-1940s, this iconic roadside gem has been a visual landmark in the Texas Hill Country for more than 70 years. Located just east of Ranch Road 165 along West Highway 290, the property boasts over 150 feet of premium frontage with unbeatable visibility and constant drive-by traffic. Set on more than an acre of land, this is a rare opportunity to create a destination that stops people in their tracks.
The main building, approximately 2,000 sq ft, sits on one-third of an acre and includes a private, air-conditioned office with a half bath, a 20’x14’ covered out bay, and a spacious workshop featuring three large outbays w/roll-up gates, all visible from the road. With exposed concrete walls, vintage design elements, and soaring wood-beamed ceilings, the structure is a true blank canvas for your next business venture.
We’ve reimagined the space to be more community-forward, now offering retrofitted 20’ and 40’ shipping containers for lease. Each unit is plumbed with mini-splits, wood flooring, natural light from oversized windows, and hand sinks, perfect for small businesses, pop-ups, or second locations looking to plug into a vibrant, creative setting.
Additional amenities include:
* A powered outdoor stage ideal for live music and events
* Picnic areas, designated parking, and 5 restrooms on the adjacent .75-acre parcel
* 30,000-gallon rainwater collection tank
* Working commercial well and septic system
* 3-phase power system
* Well-maintained HVAC
* Nostalgic extras like a vintage gas pump, antique air compressor, a remote-controlled fire truck, and two 1950s-era trucks for visual flair
With zoning that supports a variety of uses and a location just 10 minutes from downtown Dripping Springs, 18 minutes to Johnson City and Blanco, and under 45 minutes to Austin, this property is tailor-made for visionaries.
