Welcome to the enchanting world of Rancho Con Rocas, a historic hacienda crafted in 1938 under the meticulous guidance of Floyd McGown. With an artist's eye steeped in Spanish folklore and heritage, Floyd fashioned his 400-acre ranch house after the charming pueblo-style Governor's Palace in San Antonio. As the Deputy Mayor of San Antonio in the 1930s, Floyd, passing by the Presidio daily, knew precisely the ambiance he sought for his Hill Country retreat-a sanctuary from urban clamor and political tumult. Here, Floyd tended to cattle, cultivated grapes, and occasionally hosted fundraisers for his friend Lyndon Baynes Johnson. His home was a venue for lively gatherings, adorned with vibrant Fiesta colors and architectural treasures rarely seen today: hand-painted concrete floor tiles, intricately carved doors, and lofty ten-foot ceilings etched in wooden plank impressions. Each limestone rock, including the four fireplaces with Kiva-inspired portals, was lovingly hand-carved and placed by skilled craftsmen. While meticulously updated, Rancho Con Rocas preserves Floyd's vision of Spanish grandeur. This unique dwelling, a haven for solitude and a muse for artists, celebrates life's passions and creativity. The 1950s brick barn, housing three horse stalls and a hayloft, doubles as a potential rustic loft bedroom. A carport, accommodating up to three vehicles, conceals a cistern transformed into a distinctive belfry. The expansive 5.2-acre grounds feature two water wells, one with a working windmill, a registered Texas cave, horse-ready fencing, and a lush array of trees providing privacy.
