In addition to the extensive system of water wells, storage tanks, and freshwater troughs, the property offers numerous surface ponds and runoff catches scattered throughout. Offering great fishing, a picturesque 2± acre bass pond has a fish feeder, is stocked with baitfish and largemouth bass, permitted grass carp and algae is treated annually.

Roads and Fences

Encompassed within about 14 miles of exterior high fencing, the Lazy CK Ranch is also cross-fenced into seven separate high-fenced pastures.

The Lazy CK isn’t just a ranch; it’s a lifestyle—a celebration of Texas hospitality, rugged charm, and the boundless beauty of the Hill Country.
