The hilltop command of 1900 Byrd Ranch Rd in Johnson City spans 28.53 acres of cleared Hill Country land with long-distance views that shift from sunrise on the east to dramatic sunsets on the west. Built in 2009, this 2,988-square-foot stone and stucco residence anchors what owners call La Colina Ranchita, a private retreat accessed through a gated chip-sealed drive that curves through mature oak trees on the property's private maintained road.

The main residence announces itself through a front porch and flows into entertaining spaces designed around light and landscape. The eat-in kitchen centers on a substantial island with granite countertops and backs a pantry for serious provisioning. A Wolf range-top with double ovens, built-in appliances, and floor-to-ceiling custom cabinetry reflect the thoughtful specification of a home built for both daily living and hosting. Ceiling-high beamed ceilings and wood-burning fireplaces throughout anchor the spaces with warmth. The primary bedroom occupies the main floor with a walk-in closet and connects to a master bath with double vanity. A dry bar serves the gathering rooms without disrupting the home's clean lines.

Beyond the main house, a guest cabin with full kitchen, bedroom, bath, and wrap-around porch sits positioned separately on the property, accommodating family or visitors with independence. The resort-style heated pool and spa occupy the rear grounds where both structures capture unobstructed western light.

The land itself reflects serious stewardship. Mature and medium hardwood trees, a fenced orchard, and raised garden beds with irrigation demonstrate previous owners invested in the property's productive capacity. Walking trails wind through native grasses, blackberries, and wild grapes with a spring wildflower meadow anchoring seasonal color. A 38-by-30 metal barn, workshop, and RV carport handle equipment storage and accommodation. The property is wildlife exempt and fully fenced.

Recent improvements include new roofs on the home, cabin, barn, and RV carport completed in 2025, new gutters and downspouts, a replaced whole-house water softener system, updated well house equipment, and a new AC unit with a five-year warranty. The property connects to Johnson City ISD, serving students from kindergarten through high school at Lyndon B Johnson schools.

At 669 dollars per square foot on 28.53 acres, this estate delivers the Hill Country scale that defines Blanco County living while maintaining the systems, amenities, and privacy of an established residence.
