Placid Ranch | 140± Acres | Caldwell County | Lockhart, Texas
Just 15 minutes from Lockhart and only 10 minutes from TX-130, Placid Ranch is a rare opportunity to own a turnkey Hill Country retreat where privacy, recreation, and convenience come together. Encompassing 140± acres under a wildlife exemption, the property features two residences, three stocked ponds, productive hay fields, mature hardwoods, and 100% of the owned mineral rights.
Perched atop one of the ranch's highest points, the 3,519± square-foot main residence captures sweeping views across the rolling landscape. Thoughtfully designed with reclaimed longleaf pine flooring, travertine tile, and exposed timber beams, the home blends timeless craftsmanship with modern comfort. The spacious kitchen showcases custom cabinetry, granite countertops, and ample space for entertaining, while the wraparound porch provides the perfect setting to enjoy sunrises, sunsets, and the peaceful views of the ponds and pastures below. A detached three-car garage includes a finished bonus room ideal for a home office, studio, gym, or additional guest accommodations once finished out.
Complementing the main residence is a beautifully restored 1900s farmhouse offering 1,583± square feet with three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and its own detached two-car garage. Whether used as a guest house, family residence, short-term rental, or ranch manager's quarters, it adds both charm and versatility.
The ranch is equally impressive outdoors. Open hay pastures transition into wooded cover that provides excellent habitat for Whitetail deer, dove, ducks, and hogs. Three stocked ponds create exceptional fishing opportunities while enhancing both the beauty and functionality of the property. Two barns provide ample room for equipment, livestock, or recreational storage.
Both homes are serviced by Goforth SUD water, while a 28,000-gallon rainwater collection system supplements the main residence. The wildlife exemption helps maintain favorable property taxes, and the conveyance of 100% of the owned mineral rights makes this offering especially unique.
Conveniently located just 15 minutes from Lockhart, 10 minutes from TX-130, 27 minutes from San Marcos, and approximately 30 minutes from Austin-Bergstrom International Airport, Placid Ranch offers the ideal balance of secluded ranch living with quick access to Central Texas amenities.
