Lone Woman Mountain Ranch is a rare, large-acreage Hill Country property comprising 675+/- acres of unrestricted land in Hays County with no zoning and no ETJ restrictions. The ranch is uniquely positioned on Ranch Road 12 and is adjacent to more than 6,000 acres of conservation land, including the Storm Ranch, creating a level of long-term privacy and geographic protection that is increasingly difficult to find in Central Texas. With commanding elevations offering 360-degree views, exceptional water features, and direct frontage along Ranch Road 12, the Lone Woman Ranch represents an opportunity to own a legacy property in one of the Hill Country’s most sought-after corridors.

Location
19631 RR 12, Driftwood, TX 78676 Ideally situated in central Hays County along the highly desirable Ranch Road 12 corridor, Lone Woman Ranch lies approximately 6.5 miles north of the Wimberley Square and 8 miles south of the Highway 290 intersection in Dripping Springs. The property has 200 feet of frontage on RR 12, providing excellent accessibility while remaining visually and acoustically buffered by topography and vegetation. The ranch encompasses the entirety of Lone Woman Mountain, with the highest point reaching approximately 1,400 feet which is believed to be the eighth-highest peak in Hays County. From this vantage point, the property offers sweeping, unobstructed 360-degree views across the Texas Hill Country, stretching for miles in every direction. Approximate distances:
  • Wimberley – 6.5 miles (direct via RR 12)
  • Dripping Springs – 8 miles (direct via RR 12)
  • San Marcos – 20 miles (via RR 12 or FM 150)
  • Kyle – 16.5 miles (via FM 150)
  • Austin – 30 miles
  • San Antonio – 65 miles
  • Houston – 190 miles
Improvements
Two residences are located near the ranch entrance, each with its own well, septic system, and electric meter. The original stone ranch house-featuring wood and plaster walls and the original wood floors-has been remodeled in recent years with an updated kitchen, bathrooms, and a new HVAC system. It has been comfortably occupied by long-term guests and would serve well as a caretaker or guest residence. The second home, built by a prior owner, offers solid bones and great renovation potential. This residence carries a notable piece of Texas music history, having hosted frequent visits from George Strait and George Jones, with the Ace in the Hole Band reportedly using it as a practice space. An extensive network of improved caliche ranch roads provides easy access throughout the property, including roads to both mountain peaks. 

Topography, Rangeland & Habitat

Lone Woman Mountain Ranch features dramatic elevation changes, stunning and diverse draw systems, and highly usable land across its 675+/- acres. The peak of Lone Woman Mountain rises to approximately 1,400 feet, delivering some of the most impressive long-range views in the region, including a view of downtown Austin. Adjacent to the main summit is a second high point at approximately 1,360 feet, offering a broader, more gradual plateau of roughly five acres – particularly well suited for future development or estate-scale improvements. Beyond the hilltops, the ranch unfolds into wooded canyons, limestone creek bottoms, productive pastureland, and mature oak stands. Seasonal creeks and natural drainages weave their way through the property, creating amazing scenery, wildlife corridors, and ideal habitat diversity. Recent selective clearing and land maintenance has enhanced accessibility and long-range views while preserving the natural character of the land.
Water
The property includes an impressive 4-acre stocked and well-maintained pond, and a smaller 1-acre pond. Runoff from the primary pond flows through heavily wooded lowlands, where seasonal limestone waterfalls add to the ranch’s scenic appeal. Multiple wet-weather creeks and natural springs further contribute to the property’s ecosystem, supporting both wildlife and showcasing the long-term land stewardship.

Wildlife

The ranch is under wildlife exemption providing low property taxes, and supports a healthy native population of whitetail deer, turkey, dove, and other Hill Country species. Approximately 50% of the property perimeter is high-fenced, with much of the remaining boundary already cleared in preparation for completion.
