5 Texas Trophy Estates, Ranches, and Lake LBJ Waterfront Living

Surrounded by 1.3 secluded acres in Terrell Hills’ most coveted enclave, this landmark estate is offered for the first time in three decades, balancing privacy with a quietly prestigious presence. A canopy of centuries-old oaks sets the tone on arrival, while inside, soaring ceilings and a thoughtfully composed floor plan support both intimate daily living and grand-scale entertaining. The home includes six bedrooms and nine bathrooms (7 full, 2 half), anchored by a sprawling north wing with five bedrooms, dual marble baths for the primary suite, a fitness suite, and private terrace access. A secluded south wing creates a comfortable retreat for guests or staff. Formal spaces lead to an inviting rhythm of gathering rooms, including a grand family room and a game room with a custom bar. Outside, an expansive stone terrace wraps a sparkling pool for long, unhurried afternoons.

Surrounded by a broad sweep of Burleson County countryside along FM 2000, this well-rounded ranch brings together improved coastal pastures, dense mature hardwood timber, and working infrastructure designed for everyday ranch life. Multiple water sources shape the landscape, including a large pond edged by mature oaks and a livestock watering tank set within open grazing pastures—well suited to cattle or horses. Practical improvements include an open-front metal hay barn currently storing round bales, wood rail fencing, established interior roads, and additional outbuildings. The home is set among mature trees and includes a covered carport and gravel drive, offering a quiet arrival and a sense of privacy. Long-range views stretch across the surrounding countryside, with convenient access to Caldwell and the Bryan/College Station area via Hwy 21, within Caldwell ISD.

Along the water’s edge on Lake LBJ in Kingsland, 360 Campa Pajama spans two waterfront lots with approximately 140 feet of shoreline and sweeping southwest-facing views across the lake’s main body. Inside, soaring ceilings and expansive windows keep the light and horizon close at hand, while a spacious island kitchen with a butler’s pantry sets an easy rhythm for everyday meals and larger gatherings. Flexible guest accommodations include a study with a Murphy bed, offering a quiet retreat that adapts with your needs. Outdoor living takes center stage with covered patios, an outdoor kitchen, and a fireplace, all oriented to the lakeside setting. A two-stall boat dock, sprawling lakeside lawn, gated entry, and detached storage building complete a waterfront composition designed for unhurried days that naturally stretch into evening.

Set on canyon land seven miles north of Turkey, Texas, this expansive tract is shaped by hilly terrain, creek beds, and seasonal creeks that carve natural corridors through the property. Two water wells support water troughs placed adjacent to the wells, while good perimeter fences and an entrance gate reached by an approximately one-mile road easement from the highway add practical structure to the landscape. Purpose-built for time outdoors, blinds and feeders are already in place—spread out across the acreage to help maximize hunting opportunities—with a current verbal grazing lease in effect; the tenant can stay or leave with notice and also maintains the feeders, troughs, and blinds. The land is noted for whitetail and mule deer, turkey, hogs, and varmints, with room to run off-road vehicles. Amarillo and Lubbock are about 1.5 hours away, with Dallas–Fort Worth roughly four hours.

Set on FM 390 W along the “La Bahia Trail” near Burton, this Washington County ranch unfolds across open, rolling terrain dotted with ancient live oaks. At its center, a fully renovated ranch house offers three bedrooms, two and a half baths, and a loft, quietly positioned within a grove of oaks. A separate 1,000-square-foot guest house sits nearby—ideal for hosting or as a manager’s residence—while a 40×60 storage barn supports equipment and livestock needs, with overhang sides that could serve as horse stalls. Two additional barns provide flexible space, including one currently used for hay storage and another older structure for storage or livestock. Working cow pens are close to the barn area, and three ponds—one spring-fed and constant level—add to the property’s steady, rural rhythm.
