This is a real showplace in the booming triangle between Austin, San Antonio, and Houston. Complete with a two-story ranch house with partial wrap around porch with outstanding views over the vineyard, and rolling hills leading down to the lake! Behind the house is the chapel/banquet building which is the perfect structure for a wedding or indoor get-together! There is also a gorgeous in-ground pool and pool house on the edge of the lake! This is possibly the most impressive view on the ranch, and is ideal for a party or reunion! There's a soccer field and covered outdoor kitchen with covered dining area overlooking the pool and lake. There is another beautiful pond with a rustic, woodsy cabin on it. This is the perfect getaway deep in the woods on a pond with a fishing dock right off of the front porch. Across the pond is a most impressive wooded deck walkway through the woods terminating into a jaw dropping rock and hardwood covered gazebo.

There is a 4,000 sq.ft. warehouse with apartment, separate kitchen, and two bathrooms. This warehouse was once the wine making kitchen and storage facility. The area surrounding the home, chapel, pool house, and large lake is high fenced out of the remaining acreage. It was in place to keep deer from the grapes, but now could be used to fence animals such as axis deer or farm pets. The fishing is great in both lakes with lots of largemouth bass, channel catfish, tilapia, and bluegill. Ducks find both lakes as a secluded home ideal for viewing or hunting. Hog and deer hunting are excellent along Copperas Creek being the north boundary. There are three operating water wells with corresponding plumbing, pumps and ancillary equipment.

Twin Lakes was once a working vineyard turned into an entertainment ranch. Some of the vineyard is still alive and fruiting although now it serves as more for the view and ambiance than production (its a lot of time and expense!), and for this improvement packed ranch, is now an added bonus!
