About This Home
Secluded at Salado's western edge, this lakeside property is a hunting, fishing and ranching paradise. Overlooking the shimmering waters of Stillhouse Hollow Lake, this extraordinary 34-acre property is far more than a home, it is a rare and storied piece of Texas heritage. Built in the 1960s and overlooking what was once the Lampasas River, this land carries the legacy of the historic Chisholm Trail, where cattle drives once carved their path through the heart of the state. The rustic 2-bedroom, 1-bath residence, used as a weekend getaway and cattle ranch, offers a quiet, unassuming retreat, allowing the land itself to take center stage. From its vantage point, the property captures sweeping views of the lake, now a premier fishing destination, while preserving the sense of seclusion and privacy that makes it feel worlds away. What makes this offering truly exceptional is its provenance. This acreage sits on what was once the original road descending to the river along the Chisholm Trail, placing you in direct connection with one of the most iconic chapters of Texas history. Opportunities to own land with this level of historical significance, natural beauty, and uninterrupted acreage are exceedingly rare. The cattle still graze. The deer and turkey still play on this agricultural exempt and fenced land. The land fans out as it backs to Stillhouse Hollow Lake, affording direct access to more than 2,000 acres of public shoreline to explore. Renowned for its clear waters and fabulous fishing, the Army Corps of Engineers-managed lake is your neighbor and your imagination is your only limit. Salado's historic Main Street and golf course are minutes away. Whether you envision a private escape, a legacy ranch, or an investment in a one-of-a-kind setting, this property stands as a trophy holding, where history, landscape, and solitude converge. Own a piece of the trail. Own a piece of Texas.
