505 Red Corral Ranch

Hays
County
257
± Acres
For Sale
Red Corral Ranch is a remarkable legacy property where more than five decades of exceptional stewardship have created one of the finest examples of Texas Hill Country living. Conveniently located less than an hour from Southwest Austin and just minutes from Wimberley, this extraordinary 257-acre ranch offers breathtaking views, healthy native rangeland, abundant wildlife, and a collection of improvements that blend history, character, and modern comfort. The heart of the ranch is the historic Limestone Lodge, handcrafted in 1934 by German masons using limestone quarried on the property. Rich with authentic Texas character, the lodge is complemented by the historic Cookhouse with commercial kitchen, guest accommodations, chapel, swimming pool, labyrinth, and beautifully landscaped grounds overlooking the creek. A stunning hilltop primary residence captures sweeping panoramic views, while the beautifully renovated Red Barn offers exceptional space for entertaining, events, creative pursuits, or business operations. Hidden among the trees, the charming Stillpoint Cabin provides a peaceful retreat unlike any other. The land itself is equally extraordinary. Rolling native grasslands, majestic live oaks, towering pecan groves, scenic limestone outcroppings, a beautiful wet-weather creek, and dramatic elevation changes create an unforgettable landscape. Healthy populations of whitetail deer, wild turkey, and native wildlife thrive within habitat carefully managed through decades of thoughtful conservation. Red Corral Ranch is more than a beautiful property—it is a place where families gather, friendships deepen, traditions are created, and the distractions of everyday life give way to the freedom, privacy, and peace that only exceptional land can provide. Whether envisioned as a private family retreat, legacy ranch, luxury event venue, or conservation-minded investment, Red Corral Ranch represents a truly rare opportunity to own one of the Texas Hill Country's most meaningful properties. A property of this significance is not simply owned. It is entrusted to its next steward.

± Acres
For Sale
Situated along the highly desirable FM 2325 corridor just west of Wimberley, True Ranch represents a rare opportunity to acquire approximately 194.79 acres in one of the most sought-after regions of the Texas Hill Country. Ideally located between Austin and San Antonio, the property combines scale, privacy, and legacy ranch character with convenient access to regional amenities, recreation, and the highly regarded Wimberley community. Representing the historic headquarters pasture of the original True Ranch, this offering encompasses the residential and operational heart of a ranch originally assembled in January 1963 when L.H. and Rose True acquired approximately 2,350 acres, establishing one of the larger contiguous ranch holdings in the region at that time. Access is provided through a controlled entry gate, with a paved, asphalt driveway extending approximately three-quarters of a mile to the private, 10+ acre Ranch Headquarters. Nestled beneath a canopy of magnificent mature live oaks within a park-like setting, the vintage one-story, 5,081-square-foot Texas ranch home reflects the authentic character of a classic Hill Country headquarters. Sturdily built with stone and rustic cedar veneer exterior walls and metal roof, the 4 bedroom/4 1/2 bath floorplan encompasses True Ranch heritage with accent stone interior walls, multiple fireplaces, Saltillo tile flooring, beamed ceilings and Central Texas-milled mahogany paneling, a reflection of the timeless simplicity of classic Texas ranch living. Ancillary to the main improvements includes a detached cookhouse, livestock shed, equipment barn, pole barn, livestock corrals, swimming pool, and additional ranch infrastructure supporting both recreational and agricultural use. Water and wastewater are supplied by a private well and aerobic septic system. The ranch encompasses gently rolling terrain with approximately 650 feet of frontage along FM 2325 and extends nearly one mile in depth, creating an exceptional sense of privacy while providing highly usable acreage for ranching, recreation, residential enjoyment, or future planning. Native grasses and a diverse mix of mature live oaks, cedar, mesquite, persimmon, and hackberry define the landscape. Magnificent live oaks are found throughout the ranch, with numerous heritage-quality specimens contributing to the property's timeless Hill Country character. The ranch is fully fenced with a combination of low fencing and 8-foot game fencing. An agricultural valuation is in place on all but approximately two acres surrounding the headquarters, supporting favorable holding costs under continued ranch use. Located outside the Wimberley city limits and not subject to recorded subdivision restrictions, the ranch offers exceptional flexibility for agricultural operations, recreational enjoyment, residential use, or future planning opportunities. Combined with its premier location, the property is well suited for a broad range of ownership objectives. Wildlife is typical of the Central Texas Hill Country and includes Whitetail deer, Rio Grande turkey, and feral hogs, supporting recreational and hunting opportunities. A unique feature of the offering is the seller's intent to convey owned mineral interests associated with the ranch, including certain retained mineral interests from portions of the original estate. Whether envisioned as a family legacy ranch, private recreational retreat, long-term investment, or strategic land holding, True Ranch offers exceptional flexibility in one of the Texas Hill Country's most desirable growth corridors. Its combination of location, scale, established ranch infrastructure, and long-term ownership history presents a unique opportunity for buyers seeking immediate enjoyment, thoughtful stewardship, or future planning opportunities.
