Land for Sale in Mason, Texas

Red Lane Ranch is an excellent opportunity for cattle grazing, recreational hunting, and country living in a desirable Hill Country location. The property is well-watered with four water wells drawing from the Hickory Underground Water Aquifer. Two of the wells were formerly used for irrigation. The strongest irrigation well was drilled in 1972, tested in 1987, and produced 800 gallons per minute at a depth of 648 feet, according to the recorded well log. The second irrigation well is approximately 400 feet deep, though no pump test is on record. The ranch offers easy access with frontage on Red Lane County Road, located just south of Highway 29. Improvements include a well-maintained ranch home built in 1991, offering 2,277 square feet of living space per Mason County Appraisal District. The home features three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a rocked fireplace with insert, and covered front and back porches. Recent updates include "a standing-seam metal roof and central heating and air conditioning system", both installed in 2024.. Additional improvements include an older lumber barn and two sets of corrals suitable for livestock operations. The land is gently rolling with several elevated areas, providing scenic views and good drainage. Soils are primarily deep sandy loam with areas of shallow limestone on the higher hills. Vegetation is dense and diverse, consisting of post oaks, live oaks, mesquite, cedar, white brush (bee brush), and wild persimmon, offering excellent wildlife habitat. A wet-weather creek meanders through the ranch, and a small pond maintained by a well provides additional water. Agricultural features include an approximately 55-acre former peanut field, now grown up with mesquite and a strong stand of Wilman Love Grass, as well as an approximately 26-acre field planted in coastal bermudagrass near the ranch headquarters. Wildlife is abundant, with healthy populations of whitetail deer, turkey, and feral hogs, making the ranch ideal for recreational hunting. All fencing is low fence (non-high-game), and the property is surrounded by large neighboring ranches, enhancing privacy and wildlife movement.
