Bandera County - Bandera, TX
Major Price Improvement! Was $16,000 per acre, now $13,950 per acre. Sitting on the headwaters of Myrtle Creek in a ruggedly beautiful box canyon in Bandera County BW Ranch offers live water and some of the most magnificent views in the country. The 1899.83-acre ranch, which fronts FM 2828, is just 12 miles from Bandera, 17 miles from Kerrville (and its airport with two runways up to 6,000 feet), and 42 miles to San Antonio.
Land, Wildlife and Water
In Texas, it is rare for a ranch to include an expansive stunning viewshed as a primary asset. The BW Ranch showcases 24 peaks, expansive valleys and views that stretch to Bandera, Kerrville and Medina.
The ever-changing landscape is enhanced by diverse vegetation. Cypress trees surround the main lake. Pecan trees shade the valley. Live oaks and Spanish oaks dot the native grasslands. A lone bull mesquite shades the pavilion. Cedar has been aggressively cleared and prescribed burns have been used to clear and reinvigorate the land. As a result, desirable native Hill Country browse provides a nutritious buffet for wildlife.
Whitetails that benefit from enhanced genetics, Rio Grande turkeys, dove and bobwhite quail are native to the ranch. A herd of bison, numbering upwards of 50, graze the flats and hillsides. Auodad sheep along with blackbuck antelope, axis, fallow and sika deer also call the ranch home. Other wild denizens include coyotes, bobcats, mountain lions and a host of other non-game species and songbirds.
Two Longhorns also roam the ranch. Ones horns measured 13.5 feet the last time a tape was put to them. Those numbers place him in world-record territory.
Year-round Myrtle Creek brings life-giving crystalline water to the property. It feeds nine dammed ponds, making water for wildlife easily accessible throughout the ranch.
An 8-acre spring-fed lake, stocked with largemouth bass enhanced by Florida bass genetics, blue cats, blue gills and sun perch is arguably the recreational focal point. Anglers have landed some bass that tipped the scales at more than 14 pounds. A boat house, with a bathroom, a fish cleaning station and a pontoon boat, ensures that family and friends can make the most of the clear, inviting water.
The ranch boasts second spring-fed lake, which is smaller. It, too, is stocked with desirable fish for additional angling fun.
Living
The three-bedroom/two-bath ranch house reflects its setting. Native limestone defines the exterior and interior flourishes including the impressive fireplace. Built with an eye to simple, comfortable elegance, the bright airy home combines soaring ceilings, shiplap, warm wood accents, Saltillo tiles and oversized windows. In the sunroom, which overlooks a pond surrounded by a bounty of native vegetation, the line between outside and inside is seemingly invisible.
In addition, the homes open floor plan includes a well-appointed kitchen, living room and trophy room. It's aesthetic and design invite gathering.
Building sites, with exceptional views, abound. The possibilities for creating a livable masterpiece built to the new owner's taste and specifications are limitless.
A nearby open-air pavilion, reminiscent of old-time Hill Country dance halls, takes the party outside. The pavilion, which follows the architectural theme of the main house, includes a full kitchen and large fireplace.
The comfortable three-bedroom/two-bathroom caretaker's quarters with a full kitchen and large porches, front and back, is situated nearby. Currently, it is used for employee housing, but could host overflow guests.
Infrastructure
More than 25 miles of improved roads stretch to the highest peaks and most far flung corners providing complete, easy access.
The main barn (approximately 40 x 60), which is constructed from metal and insulated, features four horse stalls, an office with a shower, a tack room and a tool room. Twelve-foot-tall doors on both ends keep equipment access simple.
An equipment barn (approximately 20 x 45) with a game cleaning station that includes winches, running water and a walk-in cooler rounds out the infrastructure.
The Opportunity

Bandera County - 3584 Privilege Creek Road, Pipe Creek, TX
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.
