1430 Gibson-Best Rd, Hye, TX 78635 - Blanco County

In the heart of Texas Wine Country near Fredericksburg, 260 Acres, Parked Out, Pond, Multiple Improvements & Off-Grid Capable. Welcome to Lonesome Valley, a spectacular 260-acre Hill Country ranch in vineyard country between Johnson City and Fredericksburg (a 20-minute drive). Conveniently located approximately one hour from San Antonio and Austin.

The ranch offers phenomenal views, mature oak trees, rolling topography, and large pasture. Lonesome Valley Ranch is off-grid capable; more information is below.

Approximately half of the ranch is parked out, and the rest has been left with excellent wildlife habitat, including whitetail deer, axis deer, turkey, dove, and hogs, making this an excellent hunting ranch.

Improvements include a 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom home with a large covered outdoor patio and kitchen and a 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom barndominium with a ten bed upstairs bunk room. Youll find a saloon, full kitchen, bath, and outdoor kitchen downstairs. Both the upstairs and downstairs have covered wraparound porches and offer spectacular views.

Between the barndominium and the home 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.

While the ranch has underground electricity and a deepwater well, it is also entirely off-grid capable, with solar, 100,000 gallons of rainwater collection, two backup generators, wood burning stoves, and 4,000 gallons of backup propane. Additionally, the property has a high-fenced garden and a one-acre pond supplemented by a well.

Overlooking the pond is a 2/1 fishing cabin with a 50-foot pier, fountain, and anchored floating deck. A smaller pond above circulates water through a man-made creek. The property also features a seasonal creek through the valley in the center of the ranch, featuring trails and incredible trees at the creek bottom.

The ranch is an excellent 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.
