Placid Ranch | 140± Acres | Caldwell County | Lockhart, Texas
Just 15 minutes from Lockhart and 10 minutes from TX-130, Placid Ranch offers a rare turnkey Hill Country retreat combining privacy, recreation, and convenience. The 140± acre ranch is under a wildlife exemption and 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± SF main residence showcases sweeping views across the rolling landscape. Reclaimed longleaf pine flooring, travertine tile, exposed timber beams, custom cabinetry, and granite countertops create a timeless yet comfortable setting. The wraparound porch provides an ideal place to enjoy the views, ponds, and pastures. A detached three-car garage includes a finished bonus room ready for a home office, gym, studio, or guest space.
A beautifully restored 1900s farmhouse adds 1,583± SF with three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a detached two-car garage. Ideal for guests, family, a ranch manager, or a short-term rental, the farmhouse adds versatility and character.
Outside, open hay fields transition into wooded cover providing excellent habitat for whitetail deer, dove, ducks, and hogs. Three stocked ponds offer fishing opportunities while adding to the ranch’s natural beauty. Two barns provide ample space for equipment, livestock, and recreational storage.
Both residences are serviced by Goforth SUD water, with a 28,000-gallon rainwater collection system supplementing the main home. The wildlife exemption helps maintain favorable property taxes, while the conveyance of 100% of the owned mineral rights adds significant value.
With Lockhart just 15 minutes away, TX-130 10 minutes, San Marcos 27 minutes, and Austin-Bergstrom International Airport approximately 30 minutes, Placid Ranch delivers the privacy and character of a true Central Texas ranch without sacrificing accessibility.
