SerenityStar Ranch

Smithville, Texas

Just minutes from our central location in downtown Smithville, SerenityStar has 10 acres in the process of being developed into a beautiful healing ranch. Currently, three buildings are on the land. They serve as residences for those in our Men’s, Women's & Family programs.

​

Our next vision for the ranch property is that of a 10,000 square foot community building. This would house our dining hall, a resource/computer room, library and an arts & crafts room as well as give us much-needed space for our ever-expanding schedule of meetings and classes which are open to the public as well as our resident community.

​

WHAT WE HAVE NOW ON THE LAND:

The Men's Residence includes a living room, three bathrooms, full kitchen and an 1,800 sq. foot open dorm that comfortably accommodates 23 beds. Live-in staff "House Dads" have a separate bedroom.

 

The Women's Residence comfortably houses 13 women in 2500 sq. ft. with two bathrooms, a full kitchen & living area.

​

The Family Residence serves to accommodate 5 families (including children) in 3500 sq. ft.
