1684 County Road 2234, Lampasas, TX 76550

This special hideaway ranch derives its name from a perpetual spring located on the property. Having reliable water is paramount for wildlife or livestock but the real bonus here is the 10+ acre lake! Big water is hard to come by, and this ranch boasts one of the best lakes in the area. A very quiet and private ranch located about ten minutes from Lampasas, an hour from Austin and about three hours from the DFW Metroplex. Currently being held under a 1-d-1 Wildlife exemption, the native grasses have thrived due to the lack of grazing livestock. Subsequently the wildlife has flourished with Whitetail Deer, Wild Turkey and a healthy population of Bobwhite Quail. The lake is a magnet for doves and ducks throughout the fall and winter offering some excellent wing shooting. Location: 10 miles North of Lampasas, 65 miles North of Austin. Approx. 800’ of frontage on County Road 2234 with one entrance. An excellent water well producing 40 gpm. Gently rolling with excellent topography, a nice size field that slopes towards the river.

A 10-plus-acre lake is the headline at 1684 County Road 2234, but the bigger story is 281.65 acres of private Lampasas County ranch land with a perpetual spring and a 2022-built home. Set about 10 miles north of Lampasas at 1684 County Road 2234, Lampasas, TX 76550, this Farm - Single Family Residence is listed at $3.25 million, or $1,258 per square foot, with 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, and 2,583 square feet of finished living space.

Water is what separates average ranches from hard-to-find ones in this part of Central Texas. Here, the spring supports habitat year-round, the lake adds both recreation and utility, and the well is reported to produce 40 gallons per minute. That matters for livestock, wildlife, and long-term land use. The property is currently under a 1-d-1 wildlife exemption, and the lack of grazing pressure has allowed native grasses to thicken. That shows up in the wildlife profile, with Whitetail Deer, Wild Turkey, Bobwhite Quail, doves, ducks, and feral hogs all noted on the ranch.

The improvements were built for function. The two-story barndominium sits on a 5,973 square foot slab and includes roughly 2,814 square feet of shop space in addition to the living area. Large overhead doors make the shop practical for equipment, trailers, boats, or ranch vehicles. Inside, the floor plan is straightforward and efficient, with the primary bedroom on the first level and two additional bedrooms upstairs. Stained concrete, hardwood floors, custom cabinetry, and granite countertops keep the finish level in line with the price point without making the house feel fussy.

From a location standpoint, this property gives you real separation without giving up access. County Road 2234 provides about 800 feet of frontage and a single entrance, which helps with privacy and control. Lampasas is about 10 minutes away for daily needs, Austin is roughly an hour south, and the DFW Metroplex is about three hours away. School district information, campus assignments, and school ratings were not provided in the listing data, so buyers should verify those details directly.

For buyers looking at acreage in Lampasas County, the combination of big water, wildlife exemption status, modern improvements, and manageable access to Lampasas and Austin is what gives this property staying power. It is the kind of ranch that works now for recreation and weekend use while still protecting long-term value.
