Lonesome Dove Hill Country Ranch

Welcome to Lonesome Dove Hill Country Ranch, a 38-acre stretch of Texas Hill Country where the skies go on forever, the views are unforgettable, and the land feels like something out of a storybook. Perched above an elevation of 1,400 ft, this property offers multiple build sites, each more stunning than the last. A seasonal creek cuts through the land, forming peaceful grottos and shaded rock ledges that make it feel like your own private park. It’s quiet here—the kind of quiet that lets you hear the wind move through the trees and the wildlife going about its day. With a current wildlife exemption, you get to enjoy the beauty of nature and benefit from low property taxes. Daily sightings of whitetail deer, turkey, and other native game are part of life here—and if you enjoy hunting, the land offers the privacy and habitat to support it. You can explore the many trails on foot or by UTV—whether hiking to a favorite lookout, watching wildlife, or cruising at sunset. At the heart of the property is the Lonesome Dove cabin—a 1,520 sq ft Hill Country retreat with big porches, warm wood interiors, and thoughtful finishes that echo the spirit of the land. It’s currently a VRBO, and the cabin easily transitions into a private guest house, temporary quarters while you build, or a weekend escape. Two large metal buildings offer incredible flexibility: a 5,000 sq ft structure with six roll-up doors and concrete floors, plus an additional 1,500 sq ft building—ideal for storing UTVs, ranch equipment, launching a hobby space, or even future expansion into guest quarters or a rec barn. And while the land feels remote, you’re just minutes from the town square in Blanco and an easy drive to Dripping Springs, Johnson City, and Canyon Lake. Austin and San Antonio are both within an hour, giving you access to major airports, healthcare, and dining—without sacrificing peace and privacy. This is where you can unplug, spread out, and build something that lasts.
