Property Details

Camp House Retreat | Mason County- Tucked away in the quiet countryside of southern Mason County, Camp House Retreat is one of the most unique and storied old rock homes still standing and usable in the area. Properties like this rarely come available. Steeped in local history and character, this authentic rock camp house offers a glimpse into the early ranching heritage that helped shape Mason County. The original rock structure features a beautiful native rock fireplace and the charm only found in truly old Hill Country homes. From the back porch, you'll enjoy sweeping views across the Mason countryside and the Llano River basin, with glimpses of the river winding through the distant branches of the valley — a peaceful setting that captures the spirit of the Texas Hill Country. The retreat sits on approximately 1 acre shaded by mature oak trees, creating a private and inviting setting for relaxing weekends, hunting season, or simply stepping back in time and enjoying the land. Located about 20 minutes south of Mason, the property is accessed via paved county roads and Simonsville Road, followed by approximately 1.5 miles of private ranch road through the historic Smith Family Ranch. Camp House Retreat is offered as an approximate one-third ownership interest in the use of the original home place, creating a shared retreat concept among owners — similar to a private ranch camp or timeshare arrangement. This structure allows multiple parties to enjoy and preserve this historic property while maintaining the integrity of the ranch. For buyers who love Mason County, its history, and its land, this is a truly special opportunity to own and enjoy a piece of the past. If you appreciate rare Hill Country places with a story to tell, Camp House Retreat is well worth a look.
