History: Set in the heart of the Texas Hill Country, Lometa traces its roots ...
History: Set in the heart of the Texas Hill Country, Lometa traces its roots back to the late 1800s, when the Gulf, Colorado & Santa Fe Railway extended west from Lampasas and established the small ranching town in 1885. The area quickly became known as a vital trade and shipping hub for livestock, wool, and cedar, surrounded by productive ranch land and rolling terrain. This parcel was once part of the historic Wagon Wheel Ranch — a notable operation recognized for its high-quality horse breeding and cattle program throughout much of the 20th century. The land reflects the authentic ranching heritage that defines this region, offering a rare opportunity to own a piece of Hill Country history with investment potential.
Land: Situated in the heart of Lampasas County, this 86-acre ranch offers a blend of usability, scenic beauty, and investment potential. The land is primarily flat with gentle rolling terrain, providing exceptional grazing opportunities for cattle or other livestock. A wet-weather creek meanders through the property, adding natural character and seasonal water features that enhance both ranching and recreational appeal. Electricity is on-site, and a community water line runs along FM 581—making this ranch well-suited for development, continued agricultural use, or long-term investment. Whether you’re looking to expand your cattle operation, establish a private ranch getaway, or secure a quality land asset in a growing region of Central Texas, this Lometa property checks the box.
Wildlife: These 86 acres offers native Texas wildlife, with open pasture, native grasses and light tree cover along the wet weather creek. Whitetail deer, dove and occasional hogs roam the property. The rolling terrain provides multiple vantage points for blinds or future food plots, while the balance of cover and grazing area support a healthy wildlife population year-round. The property is under Ag Exemption and acts as a great cattle property.
