La Joya Ranch is a beautiful 1,111± acre Hill Country ranch located in northwestern Medina County, just 17± miles north of D’Hanis off County Road 111. This turnkey ranch offers exceptional views, strong water infrastructure, quality improvements, hunting, recreation, and agricultural use.
Seco Creek cuts through the entire ranch, creating scenic creek bottoms, large bluffs, cave features, and long-range Hill Country views. The owner has built a scenic road through the creek bottom, allowing easy access while offering incredible views up toward the bluffs.
Improvements
The front 107± acres along County Road 111 are low fenced, not under the conservation easement, and contain the headquarters. This area has scattered mature oaks and coastal grass that the current owner utilizes for hay production.

The custom lodge was thoughtfully built for hosting and is approximately 1,730± square feet with 2 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms. A standout feature is the outdoor room with a built-in bar, big screen TV, and custom-built with outdoor fabric walls that raise with a push of a button, opening the space to remarkable views and outdoor living. The remaining 1,004± acres are high fenced, with 6-foot water gaps.
Water
Water on La Joya Ranch has been well planned and distributed. The headquarters are served by an Edwards well with a sprinkler system. A second Edwards well is piped to thousands of feet of buried black poly pipe that supplies water throughout the ranch. There is also a solar-powered well that supplies a water trough.
Seco Creek is a wet-weather creek, though portions appear to hold water during normal conditions.
Wildlife & Hunting
La Joya Ranch offers excellent Hill Country hunting and wildlife. Native game includes whitetail deer, dove, turkey, and hogs, and the owner has introduced axis deer. Other wildlife and predators in the area include raccoons, ringtail cats, bobcats, foxes, and coyotes.
The area is also known for Native American campground activity, adding historical character to the ranch.
Vegetation & Terrain
The ranch has a strong mix of live oak, mesquite, persimmon, cedar elm, hackberry, and native brush. The headquarters feature mature oaks and improved coastal grass, while the back portion offers rugged creek-bottom country, bluffs, caves, and excellent wildlife habitat.
Conservation Easement
Approximately 1,004± acres of the high-fenced portion are under a conservation easement designed to protect the Edwards Aquifer recharge zone and preserve the ranch’s natural character. The easement limits future development but allows continued agricultural use, hunting, and recreational enjoyment.
The front 107± acres, which includes the headquarters, are excluded from the conservation easement.
