The S.W. Cave Ranch

Description Simpson Ranches & Land, LLC proudly presents this 170± acre Mason County ranch, located just southwest of Cave Ranch (95± acres) and neighboring tracts coming soon in this same scenic area of Mason County. Each property is separated by county roads yet shares the classic Hill Country character that defines this region, rolling granite outcroppings, native grasses, and the timeless beauty of wide Texas skies. This ranch offers both functionality and natural appeal, with usable acreage, water features, and convenient access from Lange Polk Road. Whether you’re looking for a recreational retreat, a working livestock property, or a future homesite surrounded by Hill Country scenery, this ranch provides the versatility and setting to make it your own. Location The property is accessed via Lange Polk Road and Black Jack Road, just 15 minutes north of Mason, Texas, in a quiet stretch of the Texas Hill Country rich in ranching heritage and history. The area’s roots trace back to early German settlement in the mid-1800s, with a landscape shaped by the Llano Uplift’s granite formations and generations of ranch families who have worked the land ever since. Improvements The ranch includes an older set of cattle pens and existing fencing, allowing for continued livestock use. With multiple potential building sites, the property offers flexibility for new improvements or expansion tailored to the next owner’s goals. Water The ranch features two ponds, both of which hold water well, and two seasonal drainages; Spice Creek, a wet-weather creek, and an unnamed tributary that also traverses the property. Both contribute to excellent drainage and habitat. There is no existing water well on the property, though there is an active well across the county road. The seller has agreed to provide a short-term water share agreement to supply the existing livestock troughs currently in place. According to data from the Texas Water Development Board, neighboring wells range from 40–80 feet deep and produce 10–20 gallons per minute. Terrain & Habitat The land offers slightly rolling terrain with approximately 30 feet of elevation change, providing both usability and visual interest across the ranch. The soil is productive, with granite outcrops, native grasses, and a healthy mix of live oak, post oak, mesquite, and hackberry trees. The south boundary is high-fenced and adjoins the Mason Mountain Wildlife Management Area, a 5,500-acre state-managed reserve known for its natural beauty and public hunting access by permit. The remainder of the ranch is low fenced. Wildlife The ranch supports a variety of native wildlife, including whitetail deer, turkey, dove, and hogs, all drawn to the property’s brush cover, and water sources. With natural drainage, reliable ponds, and nearby managed land, this area offers excellent wildlife habitat and hunting potential. Additional Offerings This property is one of four neighboring tracts, each separated by county roads but part of the same sought-after area of northern Mason County. Buyers have the opportunity to purchase individual tracts or combine multiple parcels for a larger ownership footprint, with each property offering its own mix of scenery and functionality. Summary This 170± acre ranch in Mason County captures everything that defines Hill Country land, rolling terrain, native habitat, water features, and location.
