History & Heritage of Steiner Ranch

Long before becoming one of Central Texas’s premier master-planned residential destinations, Steiner Ranch was a working cattle ranch deeply connected to Austin’s western heritage.

The T.C. “Buck” Steiner Era (1930s – 1980s)

In the 1930s, T.C. “Buck” Steiner—founder of the iconic Capitol Saddlery in Downtown Austin—purchased thousands of acres in Northwest Travis County. The land operated for decades as the Steiner family ranch, where Buck raised quarter horses and longhorn cattle while his son, Tommy Steiner, operated the internationally famous Steiner Rodeo Company.

Master-Planned Development & UT Golf Club Era

In the late 1980s, development began to convert the ranch into a residential community designed to preserve the surrounding natural canyons. In 2003, the opening of the University of Texas Golf Club cemented Steiner Ranch’s reputation as a premier luxury resort community in Northwest Austin.
