Located in the heart of Texas Wine Country, near Fredericksburg, this 160-acre Hill Country ranch, known as Lonesome Valley, is situated between Johnson City and Fredericksburg, approximately one hour from San Antonio and Austin. A larger acreage option is available. The ranch features views, mature oak trees, rolling topography, and a large pasture. Approximately half of the ranch is parked out, while the remainder provides wildlife habitat for whitetail deer, axis deer, turkey, dove, and hogs. Improvements include a 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom home with a covered outdoor patio and kitchen, and a 3-bedroom, 4-bathroom barndominium with a ten-bed upstairs bunk room. The barndominium includes a saloon, full kitchen, bath, and outdoor kitchen downstairs, with covered wraparound porches on both levels. Between the barndominium and the home, there is a large fire pit, a basketball court, a tennis court, and two pickleball courts. An equipment barn with a small apartment completes the compound. The ranch has underground electricity and a deepwater well, and is also off-grid capable, with solar, nearly 100,000 gallons of rainwater collection, two backup generators, wood-burning stoves, and 3,000 gallons of backup propane. The property also has a high-fenced garden and a seasonal creek through the valley in the center of the ranch, featuring trails and trees at the creek bottom. The ranch is suitable as a family retreat with income potential through Airbnb rentals, corporate events, weddings, and other venues. The owner began renting it as an Airbnb last year and grossed over $30,000 in the fourth quarter of 2024.
