Private Resort w/ Pool & Spa, Theater Room, Outdoor Kitchen & Game Spaces
Big Red Chicken Estate is a place where gatherings become unforgettable. Set on five peaceful acres in Wimberley, this expansive two-story retreat blends Hill Country charm with luxurious amenities, creating the perfect backdrop for milestone celebrations, family getaways, and memory-making weekends with your favorite people. With seven bedrooms, six bathrooms, and a full roster of indoor and outdoor features, the home offers room for everyone to spread out, reconnect, and simply enjoy life in one of Texas’ most beloved destinations.
Inside, the main living area sets a stunning tone with cathedral ceilings, dramatic rustic beams, and a towering stone fireplace. Plush leather sofas invite you to settle in for movie night or a cozy morning with coffee in hand. The adjacent kitchen is a chef’s playground, featuring an L-shaped island with bar seating for seven, a second prep island, a gas range, double ovens, a full-size refrigerator, and a thoughtfully stocked butler’s pantry complete with additional appliances, sinks, and a second full refrigerator. Meals can be shared around the elegant six-seat dining table or the charming breakfast table overlooking the backyard and pool.
Entertainment is built into every corner. A dedicated media room offers a true theater experience with a massive projection screen, Apple TV, reclining leather seating for eight, and an additional streaming TV for flexibility. The entry-level flex space is perfect for board games or puzzles, with a stocked game closet ready for hours of fun. Kids and the young-at-heart will adore the indoor slide next to the staircase, making every walk between floors feel like an adventure.
Sleeping spaces are spread throughout the home for comfort and privacy. The primary suite on the ground floor is a serene escape with a king bed, a private TV, back patio access, and a spa-style bathroom featuring a soaking tub, dual vanities, and a large custom shower with opposing shower heads. A nearby bedroom with a twin bed and a crib is ideal for families traveling with little ones. Another ground-floor king suite features its own bathroom and TV, giving guests multiple luxurious options.
Upstairs, you’ll find four additional bedrooms—each with its own charm and amenities. A bunk room with a twin bed and twin-over-twin bunk offers a fun kids’ zone with its own bathroom. Another bedroom features two full beds, a whimsical chair swing, and a private bath. Two more queen rooms round out the upper level, one with a Jack-and-Jill bathroom and the other boasting deck access with outdoor lounge seating, dining space for six, and a spiral staircase leading directly to the pool area. Additional sleeping space is available on the upstairs landing with a twin-over-full bunk and a foosball table for late-night friendly competition.
Step outside, and the estate transforms into a private resort. The fenced backyard is anchored by a large pool with in-water stools, a built-in spa, and plenty of loungers and umbrellas. The outdoor kitchen is ready for al fresco feasts with bar seating, a propane grill, sink, outdoor TV, and additional dining for six. Beyond the pool you’ll find tree swings, a tree house, cafe lights, a picnic area, an outdoor shower, and a fire ring (available when burn bans are not in effect). Every corner invites you to lounge, laugh, and soak up the Hill Country air.
Guests also enjoy access to the neighborhood playground, tennis courts, basketball courts, and lake—perfect for keeping the group entertained throughout your stay. The home sits in a quiet, family-friendly neighborhood known for stargazing and wildlife spotting, with frequent visits from deer, foxes, and native birds. Wimberley Square, Market Days, Blue Hole Regional Park, and local wineries and breweries are all just minutes away.

We had a wonderful stay — the home was spotless and had plenty of beds for our large group. The roomy layout gave everyone a little privacy; yet, kept us all together under one roof so we could make the most of our limited time. The backyard was a hit, perfect for entertaining both kids and adults so we didn’t need to go anywhere to have fun. A truly enjoyable family getaway location. Will definitely stay here again.
On our first 2d the pool was 104 degrees and really uncomfortable. The manager was unaware that the pool could be heated so there was some back and forth but eventually she spoke with the owner and turned down the heat. We were finally able to use it after some days of heavy rain. FYI- there are 2 full refrigerators and a freezer but NO ice so bring your own. Wish we would have known that. The outside grill was greasy and not cleaned so it was definitely a fire hazard and our food got charred. some of the electronics like oven, room and pool remote would have been nice with instructions. With all that said, it was a beautiful property and we had a great time. They seemed to be very easy to contact and they were understanding. Xoxo. Would definitely do this again
