Granite River Retreat
11643 W Ranch Road 152, Llano, TX 78643
15.9± Acres
Granite River Retreat is the kind of Llano River property that rarely comes available. With nearly 500 feet of Llano River frontage, deep pools framed by ancient granite, and a beautiful limestone home set just above the water, this is a true Hill Country river retreat with the feel, improvements, and natural character buyers spend years trying to find. The main home offers approximately 3,011 square feet with 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, complemented by a detached studio for overflow guests, a two-car garage, a 30' x 40' barn, and a substantial 30,000-gallon rainwater collection system. Positioned between Llano and Castell on one of the most desirable stretches of the river, Granite River Retreat is equally suited for full-time living or as a legacy weekend property.
Improvements
Built in 1999, the main home is a classic limestone Hill Country residence with approximately 3,011 square feet, 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and a massive masonry fireplace. Large river-facing windows and inviting outdoor living areas take full advantage of the setting, giving the home a strong connection to the water and the surrounding landscape. A detached studio provides ideal overflow space for guests, while the two-car garage and 30' x 40' barn add practical utility for storage, equipment, or workshop use. The 30,000-gallon rainwater collection system is a meaningful asset that adds to the long-term functionality of the property.
Llano River
Nearly 500 feet of Llano River frontage define the property. This stretch of the river is marked by deep, clear pools flowing between exposed granite shelves and outcroppings that have shaped the character of the Llano for centuries. Fishing, kayaking, swimming, or simply sitting along the bank and enjoying the water are all part of daily life here. It is classic Llano River frontage in a setting that feels private, usable, and timeless.
Land
The land is classic Llano Uplift terrain, gently rolling from the improvements down through massive live oaks and native cover to the river. Thoughtfully set up for the enjoyment of wildlife, the property supports an impressive diversity of flora and fauna for a tract of this size, with healthy underbrush, fields of wildflowers, and excellent habitat throughout. Bird life is exceptional, and the native landscape also supports the typical fur-bearing mammals found in this part of the Hill Country. Granite, water, mature oaks, and strong habitat come together here in a way that feels both natural and increasingly rare.
Tax
Currently under wildlife valuation. 2025 taxes approx $4,112.

With nearly 500 feet of river, a beautiful limestone home, guest space, useful outbuildings, and 15.9± acres of healthy, wildlife-rich land between Llano and Castell, this is the kind of property that works just as well as a full-time residence as it does a legacy weekend retreat.
