Description

In the heart of Texas Wine Country near Fredericksburg, 260 Acres, Parked Out, Pond, Multiple Improvements & Off-Grid Capable. Welcome to Lonesome Valley, a stunning 260-acre Hill Country ranch in the heart of Texas wine country. Ideally located just 9 miles west of Johnson City on Hwy 290 and only 1.5 miles from the gate via Rocky Creek Road, this private estate offers a mile-long paved drive to the main improvements. The ranch features breathtaking views, mature oak trees, rolling hills, large open pastures, and wooded areas for wildlife habitat. Wildlife includes whitetail deer, axis, turkey, dove, and hogs—making it a hunter’s paradise. Approximately half of the ranch is cleared while the other half remains natural. Improvements include a 3-bed, 3-bath main home with a large covered outdoor kitchen-living area offering incredible views. A spacious barndominium includes a 3-bed, 3-bath upstairs with a 10-bed bunk room, and downstairs features a full kitchen, bath, saloon, and living area—all with wraparound porches. Amenities include a large fire pit, basketball, tennis, and two pickleball courts. There’s also an equipment barn with a small apartment. A 2 bedroom, 1 bath fishing cabin overlooks a 1-acre pond with a pier, fountain, floating dock, and man-made creek. The ranch also includes a seasonal creek, extensive trails, and a high-fenced garden. Off-grid capable, the ranch is powered by solar, 100,000-gallon rainwater collection, deep well, backup generators, wood stoves, and 4,000 gallons of propane. Underground electricity is in place. Lonesome Valley is a turnkey family retreat with income potential from Airbnb, weddings, and corporate events. In Q4 of 2024 alone, Airbnb rentals brought in over $30,000. Offered fully furnished, with a replacement value over $10M. *Financing available *Owner-Agent
