luxury real estate for sale Blanco, United States

Perched high in the scenic hills above Kendalia, this 96.76± acre Hill Country ranch offers a rare blend of natural beauty, lasting privacy, and refined improvements. With sweeping long-range views, thoughtfully preserved native habitat, and a well-appointed residence nestled into the hillside, this property represents the very best of the Texas Hill Country. Steeped in the region’s rich heritage, the land reflects the legacy of early settlers who once retreated to these hills for hunting, picnicking, and the simple pleasure of the views. Today, the property continues to be carefully stewarded to preserve its character, ensuring its scenic beauty and ecological value endure for generations to come. Improvements: At the heart of the property lies a 1,750± square foot residence that balances modern comfort with classic Hill Country style. The home features an open concept living space filled with natural light, a chef’s kitchen with concrete countertops and stainless appliances, and three bedrooms, including a bunkroom ideal for family or guests. Glass doors open onto a spacious covered porch, perfect for dining, lounging, or enjoying the cool evening breeze. Outdoor amenities include an indoor/outdoor fire pit, expansive IPE deck/patio for entertaining and taking in the endless views. The home is thoughtfully designed for efficiency and low maintenance. Covered sheds as well as RV hook ups expand the capacity of the home for guests and storage. Location: Located just outside Kendalia in Kendall County, this area has long been known for its scenic ridgelines, strong sense of community, and proximity to key Hill Country destinations. An hour outside of San Antonio or Austin makes it a quick commute for an escape from the city. Run into the town of Blanco for meals, supplies, and entertainment, just minutes away from the property. Land: The property spans 96.76± rolling acres, transitioning from an improved homesite into wild oak-juniper woodlands, native grasslands, and rugged limestone hills. Approximately 91 acres are protected by a conservation easement that permanently preserves the natural habitat, wildlife corridors, and scenic viewsheds from future development. A designated building envelope is included. The land provides critical habitat for the golden-cheeked warbler, as well as numerous other native species. Selective brush management is permitted to enhance ecological health and support native diversity. Originally protected by conservation-minded owners who recognized the ecological significance of the land, this estate now stands as a lasting testament to their vision — a place where the natural world is not just preserved, but thoughtfully experienced. Water: From the patio the home looks northwest across the Little Blanco River Valley. From the hilltop, panoramic views stretch southward over the Guadalupe River Valley and its many feeder creeks. These contrasting vistas offer a rare perspective on two of the Hill Country’s most iconic watersheds. The improvements are serviced by a water well. Terrain/Topography: The land’s dramatic elevation is defined by all four flanks of a prominent hilltop, culminating in a broad meadow near the summit — one of the highest points in Kendall County. This unique geological formation is the exposed crest of an ancient reef, the lowest member of the Edwards Limestone, giving the ranch its exceptional views and distinct character. Recreation/Hunting: At its core, this property offers the rare, recreational, and intrinsic value that only untouched Hill Country land can provide. Generations have experienced the richness of this habitat — and many more will. Blinds and feeders are positioned throughout the property for hunting, while an established trail network invites exploration on foot. Whether for wildlife watching, hiking, or quiet moments under the canopy, this is a property meant to be experienced slowly and deeply.
