Here's the main house — dark wood, metal, low and sleek. Seven million vibes?

Entrance gate goes full medieval ranch. That emblem though—family brand or logo?

Then the sunset flex. Okay, nature, you did most of the heavy lifting.

Here's the terrace view — iron chairs, patterned cushions, wine practically implied.

Bunk House & Saloon vibes. Feels cozy, slightly theme-park, but I’m into it.

Big gathering room. Beams for days. Glossy wood, hmm. at this price?

Back outside — stone fire pit, Adirondacks, feels ready for campfire stories.

Multi-sport court out of nowhere. Basketball? Tennis? Paging the neighborhood tournament.

Here’s the living room — leather sectional, chunky coffee table, solid movie-night energy.

Bedroom goes modern-farmhouse. Geometric duvet with a beefy dark headboard. Kinda works.

Another terrace. pale stone walls, comfy seating. Anyone know why the layout zigzags?

Calm pond moment. Mirror water, soft hills. Do we get a canoe with this?

Wood deck with picnic table. Simple, warm, honestly my favorite spot so far.

Equipment barn time — yellow insulation pop, steel ribs, very tidy. Seven million tidy?

Details

So, $7 million. For this place, Lonesome Valley Ranch, it's 260 acres smack dab in the Texas Hill Country's wine region, close to Fredericksburg. It's got a mix of open land and wooded areas, with big oak trees and rolling hills. They say about half of it is cleared for access, the rest is left natural for wildlife like deer and turkey. This place is set up for off-grid living. It has underground power, a well, solar panels, two backup generators, wood stoves, and a huge rainwater system. There's also a high-fenced garden and a one-acre pond. The main house has three bedrooms.

Then there's a barndominium with three more bedrooms, plus a big bunk room upstairs for ten people. Downstairs in the barndominium is a saloon-type area with a kitchen. Between the two main buildings, you've got a fire pit, basketball court, tennis court, and two pickleball courts. There's also an equipment barn with a small apartment and a two-bedroom fishing cabin by the pond, complete with a pier and floating dock. They even mention a man-made creek that flows through the valley. This property was listed as a short-term rental last year and made over $30,000 in the last quarter alone, so it's set up for events or just a big getaway spot. Owner financing is available.
