Lucy Creek Ranch features rolling Hill Country terrain with mature live oak motts, cedar flats, and healthy native grasses. Open pastures are thoughtfully interwoven with hardwoods and cedar, creating an ideal balance for wildlife habitat and grazing. Elevation changes throughout the ranch provide long-range views and multiple elevated homesites, offering excellent flexibility for a family retreat, recreational ranch, or other future improvements.
Water
Lucy Creek Ranch is highlighted by over half a mile of frontage along spring-fed Lucy Creek, which flows year-round and remains reliable even during severe drought conditions. The creek features audible streamflow, deep pools, and towering limestone bluffs, creating a dramatic and highly scenic setting ideal for recreation, relaxation, and wildlife viewing.
In addition to the main creek, several wet-weather ravines cross the ranch, including one that consistently holds water from natural seep springs, evidenced by cattails and lush vegetation. A spring-fed pond along with four wet-weather stock tanks support livestock and wildlife. The ranch also includes two drilled water wells—both low-producing—with one currently supplying livestock troughs and the second requiring a new pump for operation.
Improvements
The ranch is partially low-fenced around the perimeter with existing cross fencing in place. A well-established internal road system provides convenient access throughout the property. Existing improvements include electricity, two water wells, two RV hookups, and a water line along CR 2207. The property also includes two metal RV overhangs, allowing for immediate recreational use while maintaining flexibility for future improvements or long-term development.
Wildlife
Lucy Creek Ranch supports a healthy population of native Texas wildlife, including whitetail deer, Rio Grande turkey, dove, duck, and wild hogs. The combination of live water, native grasses, and varied terrain provides exceptional habitat for both game and non-game species. For the outdoorsman, the spring-fed pond offers excellent potential for stocking or waterfowl hunting, and the property currently benefits from an agricultural exemption.
Location
Lucy Creek Ranch is uniquely positioned for accessibility while maintaining privacy and seclusion. The property features approximately 818 feet of County Road 2207 frontage along its western boundary and roughly 2,260 feet of Highway 281 frontage on its eastern boundary.
