This fabulous ranch house was designed by Ryan Street & Associates as a family hunting camp for weekend getaways, located in Texas along the southwestern border of Mexico. A couple of hours south of San Antonio, the property consists of seventeen-thousand-acres of mainly raw land.
Nestled amidst the dense brush and rolling hills of Texas’s “Big Deer Country, this home is an outdoorsman’s paradise. The project team devised two metal structures on the property for two families, the brothers behind the Yeti brand. The intent was to meld the buildings into their surroundings while weathering the harsh natural elements — all while being impressive and unassuming.

Corrugated metal siding and unfinished steel dominate the exterior palette while the interiors offer a vibrant contrast to the austerity of the structures themselves. Each of the homes features a long central hallway that is flanked by five bedrooms and ends with an open concept living, dining, and kitchen area facing a bank of windows.
The amalgam of furniture, art, and rugs reflects the confluence of cultures that have historically inhabited the region, from Spanish settlers to Native American tribes like the Lipan Apache to the cattle barons of Texas and Mexico.
What We Love: This Texas ranch house offers two families the opportunity to enjoy spending time outdoors in a rugged paradise. Although this home features stylish furnishings, the concrete flooring allows for durability and low-maintenance from indoor-outdoor living. An abundance of texture and pops of color add cozy warmth to this incredible retreat.
