About this property

This charming farmhouse is located on a 364 acre working cattle ranch in the rolling hills of Central Texas. The house is surrounded by hundred year old oak trees, and is 100 yards away from a 7 acre lake teeming with fish. Deer are everywhere. Stroll through paths in the woods, fish, relax on the front porch, sit around a camp fire and look at the stars, enjoy communing with nature.

Visit the barn with the owner and meet our horses, 3 goats named Luke and Francis and our newest arrival Baby Panic, and a precocious mini-donkey named Penny.

Old Oaks Ranch is 15 miles from Brenham, home to Blue Bell Ice Cream and lots of great antique shops; 12 miles from Washington-On-The-Brazos, the birthplace of Texas; and 4 miles from historic Independence and the Antique Rose Emporium.

We are 40 minutes from Kyle Field (Gig 'Em) and 45 minutes from Round Top,

Great Weekend Getawayl

Cute and small house on a ranch. Lucy was such a wonderful host. Super responsive and she also allowed us to come meet her horses, goats and dogs. This is a ranch where the cattle roam freely and we woke up each morning with cattle walking about 50 feet away and we loved it. It was peaceful and quiet with only the sound of animals. About 25 minutes from Brenham and about 45 minutes from College Station. We will look to book again when in the area.

Just what we needed!

Two longtime friends and I Spent two nights and three days at the Old Oaks Ranch 15 miles from Brenham, Texas. The house was a great choice so that each of us could have a bedroom, to ourselves, and it was spotless and furnished with everything we needed. The best part for us was just to sit out under the beautiful old live oak trees and watch the herd of cows there with their new baby calves. Lucy, our hostess, was very easy to get in touch with, and we enjoyed her introducing us to the miniature donkey, goats, and horses. We would love to go back again and spend more days there.

About the host

Hosted by Lucy Gibbs

My grandparents bought Old Oaks in 1956. We think it was one of the original Stephen F. Austin land grants. The original owners died out and the place was fallow for 10 years. I was 10 years old when we bought the place - I grew up here, my children grew up here, and now my grandchildren are enjoying it.
