Lone Man Ranchette is a 12± acre ag-exempt property for sale on the sought-after Wimberley/Driftwood border in Hays County, Texas — offering a rare combination of Texas Hill Country lifestyle, privacy, and total building freedom. With no HOA and no building restrictions, this land is ready for whatever you have in mind: a horse property, a hunting and recreational retreat, a weekend cabin, or a full-time dream home. Level terrain, mature oak trees, and wet-weather creek frontage round out a property that checks every box for Hill Country living.
Perfectly positioned in Hays County at the intersection of two of the Texas Hill Country's most desirable communities, Lone Man Ranchette has frontage on Lone Man Mountain Road. The property is 7± miles from Wimberley, 11± miles from Dripping Springs, 21± miles from San Marcos, 33± miles from Austin, and 68± miles from San Antonio. What makes this location especially compelling is the density of well-known destinations nearby. The Shady Llama is just 2± miles away, Driftwood Estate Winery and Hays City Store are both within 5± miles, Blue Hole Regional Park is 7± miles out, and Vista Brewing and Salt Lick Cellars are both within 10 to 11± miles — putting some of the Hill Country's best food, wine, and outdoor experiences right at your doorstep.
Two quality outbuildings already complement the property. A custom metal shop barn measuring 30x70' offers four spacious bays and a closed storage room — well suited for a workshop, equipment storage, or a wide range of uses. The 4-stall horse pole barn is equally well-equipped, featuring individual pens, a squeeze chute, and separate piped-fence turnouts for each stall. Both structures have water and electric run to them. The property is partially fenced with low fencing and cross-fenced.
Electric: Pedernales Electric Cooperative serves the area. A water well and septic system will be needed and are not currently in place.
The 12± acres are level and blanketed in mature oak trees, making for a beautiful building site with natural shade and Hill Country character. The property includes 512± feet of wet-weather Yorks Creek — a scenic natural feature that adds both beauty and habitat value to the tract. Wildlife on the property includes whitetail deer, turkey, and dove, making this an equally appealing recreational or hunting property.
The agricultural exemption is in place, helping keep annual property taxes low. With no HOA and no building restrictions, a new owner has full discretion over how the land is used — horses, hunting, a cabin, or a custom home. Properties on the Wimberley/Driftwood border offering this combination of location, use flexibility, and existing improvements are rare. Come see this gem for yourself!
