Escape To This Enchanting Hill Country Homestead

What if home felt a little more like a vacation? This 57+-acre property in Blanco, Texas offers 840+-feet of Crabapple Creek, mature live oaks, open pasture and a historic home dating to the 1890s. Held by the same family since the 1950s, the land has been cared for and enjoyed for generations. There’s room here to create the kind of life that’s hard to find close to a city—grow a garden, keep horses and chickens, spend afternoons in the creek, sit on the porch, explore the land and have plenty of space for family to gather. The property features deep, rich soil that has been free of chemical use for approximately 30 years, offering excellent potential for food forests, gardens, orchards and permaculture. Multiple deer-fenced areas are already in place, and abundant game provides excellent opportunities for hunting and enjoying the wildlife. The historic home and surrounding improvements give the property the feel of a working Hill Country homestead, with room for multiple generations to enjoy the property while having space of their own. And while the setting feels removed from the pace of everyday life, the location keeps you close to everything that makes the Hill Country special. Fredericksburg is approximately 25 minutes away, Johnson City about 20 minutes, and both Austin and San Antonio about 45 minutes. For those looking to trade traffic and busy schedules for more time outside and more room to breathe, this is a place where life can feel a little slower—without giving up the convenience of being close to it all. An additional 24+-acres adjoining the property is also available. MLS #2866624.
