Blaze Ranch
Spring 2021 - Ongoing | Texas Hill Countrywith Marina Recio Rodriguez & Morgan Vought
How can we aid the landowners in transitioning this agricultural property into an educational campus while preserving the ranch’s character and wild lands?
Blaze Ranch is a 100-acre property in the Texas hillcountry, in an area on the outskirts of Austin that is quickly developing. As neighboring ranches are sold off to developers and converted into suburban housing tracts, the owners of Blaze Ranch are seeking to preserve their property’s wilderness status while converting the use from agricultural to educational. The ranch will be home to a non-profit school serving local day students as well as boarders from rural communities who don’t have access to world-class educational opportunities in their area. The school is set to welcome its first class in 2023.
Marina Recio Rodriguez, Morgan Vought, and I were brought on to assist the landowners in envisioning the future of the ranch, providing design direction and land management strategies to help them steward this beautiful property.
