Lonesome Chimney Ranch

Welcome to the 147+/- acre Lone Chimney Ranch in Pipe Creek, offering a well-balanced combination of usable land, strong wildlife habitat, and functional improvements. The property is turnkey for hunting and recreation, with a healthy population of Whitetail, along with occasional Axis and Blackbuck, as well as Turkey and Hogs. The land features a mix of open pasture and mature Oaks with other scattered hardwoods, providing both grazing potential and solid wildlife cover, and is well fenced and cross fenced into three separate pastures for effective livestock grazing. Improvements include two residences, a newer 1,800+/- sq ft barndominium and an older 1,200+/- sq ft ranch home, along with a barn, equipment storage, and working pens, supporting both recreational and light livestock use. The ranch is well watered with a water well near the house, a windmill well in the pasture, two seasonal stock tanks, and a stretch of wet weather Privilege Creek, and offers long-range Hill Country views. This is a clean, ready-to-use property with a strong balance of habitat, improvements, and usability. The Improvements: The ranch features two residences that provide a functional and flexible living setup. The 1,800+/- sq ft Barndominium offers a one-room living space with a kitchen and full bathroom. Attached is a barn area with roll-up doors, creating a practical combination of living quarters and storage or workspace. The main home is an older 1,200+/- sq ft ranch house with two bedrooms and a washer and dryer. Additional improvements are geared toward usability and ranch operations. The property includes a barn, equipment storage, and working pens. There are also RV hookups in place, providing added flexibility for guests, overflow lodging, or extended stays on the ranch. The Wildlife: The ranch supports a diverse wildlife population. Native Whitetail deer are the primary species, with a consistent presence across the property, supplemented by occasional Axis and Blackbuck that move through the area. Turkey and Hogs are also commonly found, adding to the year-round hunting opportunities, as well as other wildlife native to the Texas Hill Country. The combination of open pasture, native browse, and mature Oaks and hardwoods provide a balanced habitat with both forage and cover, allowing wildlife to utilize the property effectively throughout the seasons. The Water: The ranch is supported by two water wells that provide dependable groundwater across the property. A primary water well is located near the main home, servicing the residential improvements and water troughs, while a windmill water well is positioned out in the pasture to help distribute water to other portions of the ranch. In addition to the wells, the ranch features two seasonal stock tanks that provide supplemental surface water during wetter periods, along with a stretch of wet weather Privilege Creek that runs along the southern edge of the property. These natural water features, along with additional drainage areas, enhance the overall habitat by providing added water sources for both wildlife and livestock, while also contributing to the property's recreational appeal. Other Notes: The ranch is well fenced with quality perimeter fencing and is cross fenced into three separate pastures, allowing for efficient livestock rotation and overall land management. In addition, nearly half of the property is high fenced, providing the ability to manage and maintain a controlled wildlife program if the next owner wanted to complete the high fencing. This setup offers flexibility for a buyer looking to run a traditional low fence operation while also having the ability to take advantage of the benefits of a high fence environment, making it well suited for both recreational hunting and a more intensive wildlife management program if desired. - 5/26/2026 4:01:17 AM
