Welcome home to River Hills Ranch—just an hour north of Austin, where the city melts away and the outdoors takes center stage. Once part of a 1,600-acre exotic game ranch, this peaceful 15-acre retreat sits amid nearly 40 roaming species—Blackbuck, Nilgai, Oryx, Red Stag—and plenty of native Texas wildlife, from whitetail and jackrabbits to roadrunners darting along the fence line. Inside the high fence with dual gates, a welcoming 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath log cabin feels like a true lodge: cozy, practical, and perfectly placed to soak in the sunrise over coffee on the porch and sunset skies by the fire pit.
Outdoors, everything’s set up to live the good life: a 4,000± sq ft barn with cattle pens, a fully enclosed shop (half climate-controlled), two storage buildings, a high-fenced garden, and an aviary with water and nesting boxes for your hens. Weekend plans write themselves with direct community access to the clear, shimmering Lampasas River and two riverside pavilions for easy gatherings, picnics, and evenings under the Texas stars.
Best of all, this property participates in a Grazing Association that supports an Agricultural Exemption with livestock—delivering meaningful tax savings while you enjoy a more sustainable, land-steward lifestyle. River Hills Ranch offers a rare blend of nature, comfort, and purpose—ready for your next chapter in Central Texas.
We’d love to show you around—come see how peaceful, practical, and downright beautiful country living can be.
