Camino Real Ranch

Your special occasion will have a mystical air thanks to the stunning backdrop of prairie grasses, desert succulents, and cotton candy sunsets. With our contemporary take on the desert, you'll feel as though you've been whisked away to the vast plains of West Texas or the barren landscape of Baja California, despite the fact that you're only minutes from from the heart of Austin. Camino Real Ranch is all that a boutique event should be: welcoming and sophisticated without any air of pretentiousness. It is tucked away in a convenient location between Austin, San Antonio, and Bastrop. Camino Real Ranch is steeped in agricultural tradition despite its recent founding in 2019. The farmhouse on Camino was constructed in the 1940s, when the land was being used as a pig farm. The property was purchased by Mike and Vanessa Torres, who had been neighbors on the Camino de Santiago and became good friends with the previous owners. They started Heart of Gold Farm and then bought our breathtaking greenhouse from a rose farm that was located in Smithville. They started cultivating organic vegetables to help others who were less fortunate and to provide food banks in the central Texas area. They were responsible for the property's charming appearance, having constructed the Quonset Hut and furnished the farm with traditional and genuine tipis from Oregon. They brought their gorgeous new family to this area, and it was in the Quonset Hut that their son Walker learned to walk for the very first time. His cute little hand prints may be found imbedded in the concrete of our backyard patio.
