   The Historic Lindsay Ranch

460 Lindsay Ranch Rd. Mason, Tx.76856

The Lindsay Ranch is one of only three places in Texas where you can hunt for topaz. We have two guest houses and two primitive camp sites

NOTICE: Due to the Coronavirus, the Lindsay Ranch will be closed to all guests until May.

Let's all do our part. Stay safe. 

Most people who come to the Ranch are just like you. They don't know anything about rock hunting.

That's OK. It's not hard. We have a display of rocks and minerals, we give you a map and loan you tools. You keep what you find. 

What are you waiting for?

 Prices for everything are listed below.

This black arrowhead and pink rock were found March 28, 2020 in Comanche Creek. If you know what the pink rock is, please let us know. Both sides were "dimpled" and the middle smooth. 



This large crystal was found on the surface of a newly plowed area. How old might it be?

Remember that this is rattlesnake country. Keep your eyes and ears open when you are out and about.

Both guest houses are equipped with the latest Mitsubishi Air Conditioning system, installed by Lindsay Electric, Mason, TX.     

The Cabin and Manor are fully furnished with sheets, towels, pots and pans, refrigerator, microwave, cook top, toaster oven and Dish TV.   

Our new beverage bar has both a regular and a single serve coffee maker with an assortment of teas and coffee K-Cups.

There is a Dollar General and a Lowe's Market in Mason. Since the selections may be limited, if there is something you can't live without, bring it with you. 

If you can't stand the sight of a mouse, a spider or perhaps a scorpion, stay somewhere else.

A Release of Claims and Waiver of Liability is required.

  HOW TO CHOOSE WHERE YOU WANT TO STAY?

The Cabin on Comanche Creek is closer to Mason and to Highway 87/377. You can drive to the Cabin and to Comanche Creek in a regular car.  

Mason Mountain Manor is more remote and secluded. It is 2 1/2 miles from the highway in the middle of our 700 acre back pasture. The Manor is the place to stay if you REALLY want to get away.

A pick-up or vehicle with more ground clearance is recommended if you stay at the Manor.

Scroll down for photos and more information.
