EXPERIENCE TRIBUTARY
Nestled in the heart of the iconic Texas Hill Country, Tributary Sporting Club is a land of unmatched beauty and adventure. Just outside the City of Lampasas, the ranch unfolds across more than 21,000 acres of rolling creek beds, river bottoms, oak groves, rugged limestone ridges, and sweeping open plains.
Where the Colorado River meets Lake Buchanan, Tributary captures the essence of the Hill Country experience. From world-class hunting and wingshooting to unforgettable wildlife encounters and chef-driven culinary experiences, every moment here is steeped in tradition, luxury, and the natural grandeur of Texas.
HISTORY
The original ranch was founded in the early 1900’s as one of the largest parcels of land in the Texas Hill Country. With a working silver mine, ongoing cattle and sheep operation, and a wealth of livestock, the ranch soon became famous for its lively activity. The ranch is abundant with relics of time’s past! Historical dwellings, equipment, mine shafts, and the original silver mine make touring the ranch a truly commemorative experience.
RANCH
Largest contiguous ranch in the Texas Hill Country, miles of Lake Buchanan and Colorado River, preserved rough and wild, holistically managed, a dream you can experience only during your stay. Over 30 wild species of healthy exotic and indigenous animals, lakes, live water streams, waterfalls, and rivers. You are personally invited to find more of yourself in the middle of nowhere.
Tributary’s South Gate is located just over an hour from downtown Austin in Burnet County, where you will be our important guest in a new era realm of soil, water, and wildlife conservation.
