A $7M Texas Glamping Resort Could Be Yours for Just $10
A Texas couple is raffling off The Yurtopian, a 46-acre property in Dripping Springs with 10 luxury yurts and more
For the price of a fast-food lunch, one person could walk away with a sprawling 46-acre luxury glamping resort in the Texas Hill Country, or take home $1 million in cash instead.
The Yurtopian Hill Country Resort in Dripping Springs, owned and operated by Ann-Tyler and Brian Konradi, is being offered through an unusual sweepstakes hosted on the UK-based Raffall platform. Tickets start at $10, with bulk discounts available. The property, estimated at $7 million according to a recent press release, includes 10 income-producing luxury yurts, a 2,000-square-foot home and office, a spa structure, barns, and a wildlife-exempt ranch with a meandering creek.
A sweeping prize
The winner will be chosen in a live online drawing on Sept. 30, 2025, during the Glamping Show Americas in Colorado. They can opt for the resort or take the cash alternative.
But there is a catch.
First, the prize transfer is contingent on at least 848,500 tickets being sold. That figure, disclosed on Raffall’s site and in Instagram comments by the resort’s owners, reflects a calculation designed to cover their own expenses and ensure they recoup close to market value. If sales fall short, the winner still receives a payout, but only 50% of the total ticket revenue, and the property does not change hands.
Second, the winner, if they take the property, assumes the risk and responsibilities of ownership. While the Konradis tout a net operating income of $268,443 last year from the resort’s lodging operations, those earnings are not guaranteed. The prize does not include the Yurtopian brand, intellectual property, or existing bookings beyond the seller’s short-term leaseback period; after the property transfer, all ongoing management and future operations become the winner’s responsibility.
A business or a gamble?
After years of traveling the world, former international lawyer Brian Konradi and marketing executive Ann-Tyler Konradi built The Yurtopian from scratch. In 2019, they opened the original site in Wimberley, later expanding to the Dripping Springs property.
The owners say the sweepstakes is a business decision rather than pure generosity. “While it may seem surprising that someone would give away a high-value property like our resort, there’s actually a smart business motivation behind it,” they said on social media, noting that the model allows them to bypass broker commissions, closing costs and market uncertainties.
The contest is legally structured as a sweepstakes under U.S. law, and no purchase is required to enter. Participants can submit a free entry by mail, as detailed in the official rules. Entrants must be at least 18 and residents of eligible jurisdictions.
What you actually win
If everything goes as planned and the winner chooses the property, they will assume ownership of the Dripping Springs site through a formal contract and a $1 transfer. They will then lease it back to the Konradis for about a month while existing guest stays are completed and the new owner is briefed on operations.
If the property is declined, prohibited by law, or contract conditions are breached, the winner automatically receives the $1 million cash alternative.
Odds and ends
As for odds? They depend entirely on ticket sales. Each ticket represents one chance out of the total pool, all of which are treated equally.
Through Sept. 30, participants can opt to donate 10% of their ticket purchase to a special fund by entering the code “TEXASFUND” at checkout. For anyone considering a $10 chance at the Yurtopian dream, the outcome is clear: someone will walk away with a life-changing prize, though what they do with it will be up to them.
