Welcome to Rancho No Tengo
About 15 years ago, Musician and Artist Joe “King” Carrasco hand-built an adobe compound near Lake Buchanan. It’s called Rancho No Tengo – literal translation: “I have no ranch” which gives you an idea of the simplicity and rough country fun of this whimsical artistic retreat. The Rancho No Tengo compound is made up of several buildings connected by patios and breezeways, all created by Joe and his Mexican artisan friends from earth, wood, found objects and second hand materials.
Joe spends most of his time living and performing in Puerto Vallarta these days, so he is offering the Rancho No Tengo spaces as affordable short term rentals to writers, painters, musicians, or other artists/artisans/activists/environmentally conscious individuals who need to get away from it all and do their work or rest in a beautiful hill country location full of wildlife, brilliant sunsets and cool mornings, two minutes from the western shore of Lake Buchanan in Central Texas.
Guest Testimonials
“Rancho No Tengo is a wonderful retreat from my busy life. Within minutes of arriving I feel my body relax as I kick back in the center courtyard and listen to the birds sing." Kim
"I first brought my brothers and father for his 77th birthday to RNT for a fishing trip on Lake Buchanan. It was a blast and we fell in love with the place. I took many pictures to show my wife, and she was excited to take her first visit to RNT a month later. It was just a real pleasure to go somewhere that was so comfortable, funky and fun, and to just do NOTHING...it has been a perfect get-away for us. Thanks again for sharing."
