Simms Creek Ranch is one of the most unique live water opportunities in Central Texas, highlighted by year-round spring-fed creek frontage, dramatic elevation changes, and exceptional native tree cover. The property was once part of the historic Wagon Wheel Ranch, and many Native American artifacts have been found, contributing to the long history of the property. This 155± acres property is located in Lometa, Texas. The ranch features approximately 1,500 feet of frontage on both sides of Simms Creek, one of the most reliable spring-fed creeks in Lampasas County. The property offers a blend of open pasture, rolling terrain, and hardwood-lined creek bottoms, with elevated hilltops providing long-range views of the surrounding countryside. Simms Creek Ranch is ideally suited for recreation, hunting, fishing, and long-term land stewardship, offering privacy and natural beauty.
Wildlife and Land:
Simms Creek Ranch supports a strong native wildlife population, including whitetail deer, feral pigs, Rio Grande turkey, dove, quail, ducks, coyote, bobcat, porcupine, raccoon, and a wide variety of species native to this region. The live water creek, ponds, and diverse habitat create excellent year-round wildlife usage and strong hunting potential.
The ranch has a diverse array of tree species, including mature live oak, red oak, cedar elm, Ashe juniper, Texas ash, and flameleaf sumac, providing outstanding shade, cover, and scenic character throughout the property. The land features a desirable mix of upland prairie, bottomland thickets, and elevation changes that enhance both usability and visual appeal.
Water:
Water is a standout feature of Simms Creek Ranch. The property includes approximately 1,500 feet of frontage on both sides of Simms Creek, a spring-fed stream that flows reliably year-round. An additional natural spring feeds directly into the creek. In addition, the ranch includes three stock tanks that further enhance water distribution and wildlife habitat across the property.
Location:
The ranch is approximately 1 hour and 25 minutes from Austin, 1 hour and 30 minutes from Waco, and roughly 2.5 hours from DFW, offering convenient access while maintaining the privacy and seclusion expected from a Central Texas ranch.
Broker Comment:
Simms Creek Ranch represents one of the finest live water ranch offerings currently available in Central Texas. Properties with dependable year-round spring-fed water, significant elevation, and expansive views are becoming increasingly rare in this price range. This tract was widely regarded as one of the most desirable portions of the historic Wagon Wheel Ranch, and the next owner will have the opportunity to steward a truly special piece of Texas land with exceptional natural beauty, history, and investment potential.
