According to the owner, this service is not available to properties outside the City of Mason, with Red Fox Ridge Ranch being the rare exception. With up to 1000 Mbps internet service available, the ranch delivers a level of connectivity almost unheard of in a property of this kind, making it ideal for remote work, streaming, business operations, and modern full-time living without compromise. Fruit Trees + Grapes: Behind the home, a net wire fenced backyard area includes fruit trees and a productive grapevine patch, adding both charm and lifestyle appeal. Mature red grapes have produced well, while the younger white grapes are beginning to produce. It is a unique feature that enhances the experience of ranch ownership and creates a setting that feels both abundant and intentional.

With water, electricity, and fiber optic internet in place, the suite is well suited for guests, extended family, a private office, or short-term rental use. Visitors consistently comment on the comfort and quality of the accommodations, and its location just a short walk from a hunting blind makes it especially attractive for weekend stays and ranch guests. Barn: The approximately 4,000 sq. ft. insulated barn is a major asset to the property and far more than a simple utility structure. Designed with flexibility and comfort in mind, it includes a large overhang for covered parking, four RV-size overhead doors, full LED lighting, and a loft for additional storage. Whether envisioned as a workshop, equipment barn, entertaining venue, or headquarters for ranch operations, the barn offers substantial square footage and a level of finish that elevates its utility. It is warm in the winter, cool in the summer, and ready to support a wide range of uses. Water: Red Fox Ridge Ranch is exceptionally well equipped in terms of water resources. The ranch features a reported 10.5+ GPM well along with a complete rainwater collection system that includes sediment, carbon block, and UV filtration. The owners currently use two 18,800-gallon galvanized steel storage tanks for the home, providing a total storage capacity of 37,600 gallons. This setup offers both practical reliability and long-term appeal for ranch ownership in the Hill Country. Trap + Skeet Field: For those who appreciate fine recreational improvements, the ranch includes a regulation-quality skeet and trap field complete with two Lincoln commercial skeet machines and one Lincoln commercial trap machine. The skeet towers are steel construction, and the trap bunker is cinder block with a hinged steel top. It is a standout amenity and a rare feature that adds both entertainment value and uniqueness to the property. Terrain + Hunting: NEW ROAD! The ranch has been carefully managed for classic low-fence hunting and supports an excellent habitat for wildlife. The owner has reported many high-scoring whitetail deer and axis, along with turkey and hogs moving through the creek bottoms and mesquite flats. Years of brush management, established trails, and cleared lanes have made the property both functional and visually appealing. The terrain offers a gentle roll with a strong mix of cover, open ground, and mature tree canopy. In both the spring and fall, the ranch shows beautifully, with large oaks and other hardwoods scattered throughout. Surface Water: The property features three solid ponds, some of which reportedly hold water even in drier years. In addition, a portion of Comanche Creek runs through the back of the ranch, enhancing both the scenic quality and wildlife appeal of the property while adding another layer of recreational value. Taxes: Ag Evaluation. Local Area: Mason is known as the Gem of the Hill Country and is the only place in Texas where Texas Topaz can be found in nature.
