Description

It is rare to find a ranch in this part of Lampasas County that feels this complete. This approximately 150 acre property sits in the heart of proven ranch country, minutes from Lampasas and within an easy drive of both Austin and Waco. The entrance off Highway 183 winds through native grasses, mature oaks, and pockets of cedar before revealing the ranch house and shop placed naturally within the landscape. The current owners cared for the land with intention. They were outdoors-people who understood how to manage a ranch without disturbing its integrity, and it shows in the quality of the habitat. Wildlife is abundant, with whitetail deer, turkey, dove, and a strong native bird population. Native American artifacts have also been found here, a reminder of the land’s long history. The home sits on a hill with views across the creek valley and much of the ranch. It has the warmth of a classic log style home with a traditional two story layout, vaulted living room, and wood interiors that create a timeless ranch feel. The second story porch looks out over the land, and the semi wrap around porch offers a quiet place to enjoy morning coffee or an evening drink. The home includes three bedrooms, two and a half bathrooms, and plenty of storage. The shop is tucked behind trees to keep the landscape undisturbed. It features covered parking, an extended overhang for dry storage, two roll up doors with a true pull through layout, and a lofted storage area. The land is the highlight. Elevation changes are noticeable the moment you drive the interior roads. Hardwoods, meadows, creeks, and ponds create a diverse setting that feels larger than the acreage. A signature high point offers a full 360 degree view toward Lampasas and captures the best of this region. This is a turnkey ranch cared for with pride and ready for someone who wants a classic Texas retreat close to major cities.
