Shepperd Ranch

Shepperd Ranch 117 Acres | Lometa, Texas | Lampasas County It is increasingly difficult to find a ranch that truly checks every box. The Shepperd Ranch is one of those rare properties that combines a beautifully updated home, highly productive agricultural improvements, exceptional water, outstanding hunting, and remarkable natural beauty into one turnkey package. Located just 2.8 miles north of US Highway 190 near Lometa, Texas, the ranch offers over 2,000 feet of paved County Road 2400 frontage with easy year-round access while maintaining the peace and privacy of a true Central Texas ranch. The Home Perched beneath towering live oak trees, the recently renovated 1,664 square foot Austin stone home captures panoramic views stretching nearly 20 miles across the surrounding countryside. Originally built in 1994, the home has been thoughtfully updated with new flooring, paint, doors, plumbing, and HVAC, creating a move-in-ready residence that blends classic Texas character with modern comfort. A pipe-fenced yard surrounds the home, providing both security and curb appeal, while the attached two-car carport offers convenient covered parking. Agricultural Improvements The Shepperd Ranch has been exceptionally developed for cattle production. A 44' x 44' metal workshop with a concrete slab provides ample storage and workspace. Covered cattle working pens allow livestock to be handled efficiently in any weather. The ranch is divided into eight fenced pastures, providing an outstanding rotational grazing system. Three improved Coastal Bermuda fields have consistently produced over seven round bales per acre on their first hay cutting. A fourth cultivated field is ready to be planted in Coastal Bermuda or winter wheat, allowing a new owner to continue expanding hay production or establish seasonal grazing. Water Water is abundant throughout the ranch. Two water wells serve the headquarters, including an enclosed well house, and a Corex water meter. A recently installed solar-powered water well in the back pasture supplies three concrete livestock troughs, providing dependable water for both cattle and wildlife without relying on utility power. One of the property's most impressive features is over 1,900 feet of Antelope Creek frontage. Beautiful limestone bluffs overlook the creek while mature pecan trees line the banks, creating one of the most scenic settings in this part of Lampasas County. A deep stock pond further enhances the ranch's water resources. Wildlife & Recreation While the ranch is exceptionally productive from an agricultural standpoint, it is equally impressive as a recreational hunting property. The combination of Antelope Creek, native cover, improved grasses, dependable water, and neighboring large ranches creates excellent habitat for whitetail deer, turkey, dove, and other native wildlife. Existing hunting blinds and feeders are available, allowing the next owner to step into a turnkey hunting setup. It is uncommon to find a ranch this size that is equally suited for ranching, hay production, hunting, and family recreation. A Rare Combination Many ranches excel in one area. Very few excel in all of them.
