Rainbow Ranch
About Rainbow Ranch subdivision:
Rainbow Ranch is ideally situated between Wimberley and Driftwood. Many of the lots are filled with large oaks and feature great hill country views.
Rainbow Ranch is a mid-sized subdivision located some nine miles north and east of Wimberley off Lone Man Mountain Road. What you need to know is that the roads are caliche. They are often rough which means a lot of things. It is dusty but it also brings privacy as there are not a lot of lookers driving around on these roads. I have had people tell me that they live there for privacy.
About Rainbow Ranch Real Estate:
Slightly higher home sold prices in Rainbow Ranch for 2025, but really too small a sample to make any real evaluations.
Real estate prices remain steady in Rainbow Ranch during 2024 with three homes sold and home size ranging from 4,000 sq ft. to 1,000 sq. ft. The average size of the parcels was close to 10 acres.
Real estate sales in Rainbow Ranch subdivsion during 2023 saw lower overall prices but keep in mind that the average size of the homes were also signifcantly lower. The important stat here, in my opinion is that average price per square foot was fairly even when compared to 2022.
There were four homes sold in the Rainbow Ranch subdivision in 2022 with home sale prices increasing by 16.7% on much smaller acreage size.
There were only two homes sold in the Rainbow Ranch subdivision during 2021 so we will not put a lot of value when comparing to sales in 2020. There is no doubt, however, that prices were higher and much higher when looking at price per square foot.
2020 saw a pickup to five homes sold which were much larger homes selling for less per sq. ft and therefore less in average home price. With only one home sold in 2019, I have combined sales from 2019 and 2018. Rainbow Ranch subdivision saw a large price increase when compared to the previous two years (2016-2017).

Family Compound For Sale:
10 Acres of woods and pasture stretch east from the main homestead, perfect for a horse or two, even a favored burro. Small out buildings in pasture, with storage near parking area. Spectrum high speed internet, too!
The main home has 3 bedrooms and 2 baths up, living and kitchen—with multiple food prep areas—down. Primary bedroom incorporates a large dressing area in the bedroom, with a smaller, actual, bathroom inset. Views from all upstairs bedrooms, too! Good-sized second bedroom just past second full bath, with second and third bedrooms taking up width of south side of home, each with corner windows to bring in light from two directions. Third bedroom as big as many primaries.
A large, shaded deck connects the main home to the barndominium. The left apartment—Nonny’s—is one-story, has a full kitchen and bathroom at the back, with beautiful wood ceiling and laminate flooring (repeated in the East Apartment), and full tiled shower (also repeated in East Apartment).
The middle utility and storage area removes the washer/dryer noise from the house, while the upstairs guest quarters were added for a family member to live in comfort for as long as they wanted, and they lived here for years.
The East Apartment, like Nonny’s, is a full apartment, with the added loft to leave more space for living/office down, by moving sleeping up.
Truly a unique property in an area of unique properties. The above-ground pool (added during COVID, professionally maintained) for those warmer days, the shady deck for coffee mornings and cocktail evenings. Set up perfectly for extended families--family and friends with their separate living spaces--with plenty of meeting in the middle living. And a lot of wooded and pasture land for the critters we love to love. This is big enough, wide enough, welcoming enough, to be home for a few or a few more.
