O-Lo-Hi Ranch: Texas Hill Country Ranch For Sale | Stunning Views, Creeks, Abundant Wildlife!

O-Lo-Hi Ranch in the Texas Hill Country offers tremendous investment potential, stunning views, creeks, abundant wildlife, a prime location, and majestic hardwoods. This turnkey +/-962-acre paradise is ready for immediate enjoyment.

Landscape
The property features large hardwood trees, including Ball Pecan, Post Oak, Cedar Elm, and Live Oak, towering over the lush landscape. The terrain offers a perfect blend of Texas Hill Country summits, hardwood tree cover, and open fields. As you drive through the ranch, you'll encounter food plots, creek crossings, and hilltop mesas.

The ranch provides spectacular views from multiple vantage points, allowing you to take in the Colorado River Valley and San Saba Peak. These viewpoints are accessible by truck or SUV, making them ideal for building a home and enjoying stunning sunsets. The surrounding large properties enhance privacy and offer unobstructed vista views.

With over 230 acres of Sunev Clay Loam and Frio Clay Loam, the ranch boasts excellent soils for cultivation and construction materials. These soils are ideal for growing feed for livestock and wildlife and facilitate surface water projects, reducing construction costs and enhancing water retention.

Strategic clearing on the property controls cedar and mesquite populations, allowing mature trees, native grasses, and wildflowers to thrive. In the spring, the landscape bursts into color with native Texas wildflowers, including Bluebonnets, Indian Blankets, and more.

Water
Water is plentiful on the ranch. A 6-inch Corix waterline runs the entire length of the property’s 3,481 feet of frontage along County Road 424/Old Lometa Highway. Additionally, there are two wells: one servicing the homestead area with a yield of over 60 GPM, and another at the back of the property requiring some maintenance.

Elliot Creek traverses the western portion of the property for over 1.3 miles, lined with large pecan trees and wildflowers, forming pools in several locations. The ranch also features multiple wet-weather ravines and five surface water tanks, none of which have ever been completely dry.

The ranch has significant potential for large-scale water improvements. With abundant clay lining material, constructing a lake and multiple ponds along Elliot Creek or the ravines would be straightforward and highly beneficial.

Improvements
The property includes a ready-to-use house with three bedrooms, two bathrooms, two living spaces, a back porch, and a carport. Near the home, you'll find a 60' x 40' metal shop and a goat shed. Recent upgrades include a new air conditioning system, hot water heater, and septic system. The homestead is supplied with water from a well and electricity from the county road. There is also a water meter near the front gate entrance.

One of the highlights of O-Lo-Hi Ranch is a drive around the property. Despite its vast size, the extensive road system makes nearly the entire ranch accessible by truck. Multiple fields are currently used as food plots, and hunting stations are strategically placed throughout.

There is a set of cattle pens by the back water well. The ranch is fenced with 7-strand barbed wire, with the western boundary being high-fenced. The property is currently Ag-exempt, though it is in a resting period with no livestock present. There are no easements on, through, or across the ranch except for utility easements. The ranch features two strategically placed entrances along the county road.

Wildlife
The diversity of the O-Lo-Hi Ranch has created a wildlife sanctuary where native Texas game flourishes. Whitetail deer, turkey, dove, and hogs are abundant, making the ranch an excellent location for wildlife observation or hunting. Additionally, landowners have spotted multiple coveys of native bobwhite quail.

Location
The O-Lo-Hi Ranch is situated in the northern Texas Hill Country, just 12 minutes from Lometa and 28 minutes from Lampasas. It is also conveniently located 1 hour and 25 minutes from Austin, 1 hour and 35 minutes from Waco, and 2 hours and 15 minutes from Fort Worth. This prime location allows for easy weekend getaways or extended stays with quick access to local amenities.

History
This ranch boasts a rich history, having changed hands only a few times since the mid-1800s. The tales of its owners exploring Elliot Creek, discovering Native American artifacts, harvesting pecans, hunting wild game, and even searching for treasure are well-documented. Treasures unearthed include coins, spurs, arrowheads, a pistol, and even a Mastodon tusk. This land has been carefully preserved, maintaining its natural beauty through the generations.

Summary
O-Lo-Hi Ranch offers an exceptional blend of hardwoods, open pastures, varied topography, wildlife habitat, and convenient access.
