Lonesome Dove Ranch is a distinctive 10+ acre property near New Braunfels featuring a fully renovated 1930s farmhouse originally built by a skilled craftman. The home retains its cedar construction and original shiplap character while incorporating a metal roof and more than $100,000 in tasteful upgrades. A separate guest house provides additional space for guests, an office, or other flexible uses. The ranch offers exceptional privacy with two private gates and an approximately 1,000-foot driveway. The land is suitable for grazing horses, cattle, goats, sheep, and other livestock and includes an original 1930s horse and cattle barn with water, electricity, stalls, tack room, and hay loft, along with several additional animal shelters and enclosures. Dry Comal Creek borders the property beneath mature oak trees, creating attractive areas for picnics, camping, and enjoying nature. The ranch is regularly visited by deer, foxes, coyotes, dove, turkey, and other native wildlife. Portions of the creek-front acreage are within the mapped floodplain. The Union Pacific rail line runs through the property, and the majority of the acreage is unrestricted, outside city limits, and has no HOA. Lonesome Dove Ranch combines historic character, a guest residence, livestock infrastructure, grazing acreage, creek frontage, wildlife, and privacy while remaining conveniently accessible to New Braunfels and I-35.
