Republic Commercial & Republic Ranches are pleased to have the opportunity to present RR12 Retreat, an exceptional property located in Hays County just minutes south of Dripping Springs. The defining feature of the ranch is its impressive 12-acre lake reaching depths of up to 24 feet, complete with a two-story boat dock and ramp, which has maintained usable water levels through prolonged drought. Additional ponds and water features bring the total surface water coverage to ±19 acres when full, remarkable for a tract of this size in the Hill Country.
Beyond its recreational appeal, the lake creates a true legacy-quality ownership experience, offering boating, fishing, swimming, and an unparalleled setting for entertaining family and guests.

With comfortable improvements in place, RR12 Retreat provides a unique opportunity to enjoy an exceptional weekend getaway today while preserving flexibility for a future estate, family compound, or luxury ranch vision.
