Hill Country masterpiece: the Colorado River Ranch

from Lone Star Outdoor News Texas Real Estate Annual 2023

Dreaming Big

The award-winning TT Ranch Group at Briggs Freeman Sotheby’s International Realty is proud to present another exceptional property: the Colorado River Ranch, a 3,304+/- acre recreational oasis in the famed Texas Hill Country’s legendary Lampasas County.

This masterpiece offers majestic views, extensive lodging options, an excellent road system, high fencing, live water, clearings, a longrange shooting tower and various barns and shops. The wildlife features hogs, dove and world-class white-tailed deer, as well as rare, exotic species, such as sable antelope, greater kudu, Grevy’s zebra and one of the few established Cape buffalo herds on a private ranch in the United States.

Just 14 miles from Lampasas, the Colorado River Ranch is a secluded retreat, yet convenient to the town’s amenities and the bustling cities of Austin (83 miles), San Antonio (135 miles) and Dallas (181 miles). As its name suggests, the ranch has nearly 2.5 miles of Colorado River frontage, all of which is easily accessible. The views of the river are remarkable, with many vantage points throughout the 300 feet of elevation change. The clear, cool river waters are ideal for tubing, canoeing, swimming and fishing. Sunsets overlooking the river are memorable, to say the least.

There also is a 10+/- acre lake with fantastic fishing, fed by a main water line that runs all the way from the river to the lake (the ranch has water rights to pump from the river when needed). Secondary water lines supply various water troughs and stock tanks strategically located throughout the property. Seven electric- and solarpowered water wells are also on the ranch.

The homes of the Colorado River Ranch offer privacy, functionality and luxury. The main lodge is a 10,000+/- square foot beauty with multiple gathering areas, a full bar, a gaming room, a commercial kitchen, three bedrooms, an oversized screened porch, a large outdoor firepit and scenic views. A smaller lodge is a stone’s throw away, with six bedrooms and six baths. A three-bedroom, two-bath home on the ranch offers a swimming pool and an outdoor living area, while two more homes are ideal for a ranch manager, ranch staff and hunting guides.

With its abundance of native game, the ranch is a wildlife enthusiast’s dream. Extensive herds of exotics offer a remarkable sight and add significant value to the ranch. American bison, axis deer, aoudad sheep, blackbuck antelope, fallow deer, gemsbok, nilgai antelope, oryx, bongo, roan, Grant’s gazelle, dama gazelle, springbok, Thomson’s gazelle, Nile lechwe antelope, Transcaspian urial sheep and nyala all call this property home.

The entire property is under high fencing and also includes cross high fencing. Numerous electric gates are located throughout. There are multiple support structures on the property, including barns, shops, equipment sheds and a processing facility with a walk-in cooler. An existing deer breeding facility could easily be converted into additional living quarters or another lodge.

The Colorado River Ranch near Lometa, in Lampasas County, Texas, is represented by the TT Ranch Group for $60,000,000.
