About Champion Ranch
Champion Ranch is a premier luxury hunting ranch and resort located in Rochelle, Texas, in the heart of the Texas Hill Country. Founded in 2002 and spanning more than 8,000 acres, it offers an exclusive retreat experience centered on world-class exotic hunting, refined hospitality, and Texas tradition.
Guests can pursue more than 70 exotic species from Africa, Asia, Europe, and North America, fish an 18-acre lake stocked with trophy bass, and enjoy photo safaris, sporting clays, and a full range of resort amenities. Accommodations include the Trophy Room suites, the private five-bedroom Residence, and secluded Casitas, complemented by fine dining, a cigar lounge, spa, and pool.
The property is positioned as an unapologetically Texan, conservation-focused destination for affluent guests seeking privacy, adventure, and a true connection to the land.
Texas Outdoor Lighting’s Role
On this project, Texas Outdoor Lighting utilized Lumien landscape lighting fixtures throughout all buildings, walkways, and the entryway to the property. Work began during construction of the main Trophy Room building, allowing for extensive integration of the lighting system into the architecture.
Hundreds of core fixtures were installed along the facade of the first floor, with additional hidden fixtures positioned above the beams on the second story. The design intention was to create a thoughtful dark-sky resort atmosphere—enhancing safety and beauty for guests throughout the night while preserving the natural character of the Hill Country landscape.
This was a complex installation spanning eight months of pre-wiring, fixture installation, and careful fine-tuning to achieve the desired effect. The result is a seamless lighting solution that supports the resort’s elevated guest experience after dark.
