Acres of Land

At the time of Lyndon Johnson's death in 1973, the LBJ Ranch comprised approximately 2,800 acres (1,133 hectares). The heart of ranch—the portion that President and Mrs. Johnson donated to the National Park Service and the part visitors experience today—totaled around 600 acres (243 hectares). The remaining 2,000+ acres (~800+ hectares) remained in the Johnson family, theirs to use, lease, sell or add to over the years. Today's visitors travel right along the property line between the national park and Johnson family property as they drive LBJ Ranch Tour route.
