Would you buy a Texas Hill Country Ranch for $6.40?
Imagine owning 76 acres in the heart of the Texas Hill Country — for less than the cost of your morning coffee.
That’s exactly what one lucky winner will get this December. A couple near Mason, Texas, is raffling off their stunning ranch property rather than selling it through a traditional listing. The ranch includes pastures, mature trees, a seasonal creek, a well, fencing, and nearby utilities — all just 45 minutes from Fredericksburg and within a two-hour drive of Austin or San Antonio.
For $6.40 per ticket, you can enter for a chance to win the entire 76-acre property or choose a $300,000 cash prize instead.
How It Works

Ticket cost: $6.40 each

Deadline to sell tickets: 190,000 must be sold

Winner announced: December 23, 2025
-
Closing: Winner has until January 23, 2026 to finalize under a Texas Farm and Ranch Contract
A Creative Twist on Selling Land
Raffling off real estate isn’t common, but it’s not unheard of — and it’s definitely turning heads. It’s a unique way to market a property, generate buzz, and offer someone the opportunity of a lifetime.
For the sellers, it’s a chance to reach a much larger pool of potential buyers. For participants, it’s a chance to trade a cup of coffee for a dream ranch or a hefty cash payout.
Clever Strategy or Just a Novelty?
What do you think? Would you buy a ticket, or do you see this as more of a marketing gimmick?
Either way, it’s an interesting example of how creative strategies can spark interest in rural land sales.
