Lot 2 Ranch Road 165 in Blanco sits on 5.02 acres of heavily treed Hill Country land, offering the kind of privacy that's increasingly difficult to find within reasonable distance of Austin. The property is a new construction home built on Blanco, a subdivision designed around the principle of preserving the natural landscape rather than clearing it. This means mature native oak and cedar trees of varying heights, from small understory growth to specimens exceeding 40 feet, create natural screening that makes the 3,663-square-foot residence feel isolated despite proximity to Johnson City and the Dripping Springs corridor.

The home itself is a five-bedroom, four-bath residence priced at $2 million, or $546 per square foot. The architecture reflects Hill Country practicality: metal roof for durability, frame construction, and an open floor plan that connects the great room, kitchen, and dining areas without sacrificing the ability to retreat to quieter spaces. The primary suite occupies the main level, paired with a home office that serves professionals who need defined workspace within their home. A separate guest suite with its own bathroom accommodates extended family or visitors without intrusion into the main living areas.

Interior finishes are deliberate rather than decorative. Wood and tile flooring throughout handle Hill Country humidity and foot traffic. The kitchen includes a built-in range, integrated refrigerator, and walk-in pantry. All major appliances are included, including a tankless water heater and washer-dryer. Ceiling-height entries and recessed lighting create an sense of openness without relying on open walls everywhere. The three-car side-entry garage sits discreetly, as does the private backyard, which includes a pool and multiple outdoor living areas accessible from front and rear porches.

Johnson City ISD serves this address, with Lyndon B Johnson Elementary, Middle, and High School comprising the complete district experience. The school is 15-20 minutes from the property depending on traffic patterns.

The land itself justifies the five-acre footprint. Views open through the trees, native plantings support Hill Country ecology, and the property feels removed from county road noise. Yet Blanco is minutes away, and Hill Country dining and retail are more accessible than the privacy level would suggest. This is the specific type of property that appeals to buyers seeking distance from suburbs without sacrificing reasonable access to services. The home is move-in ready or available for modifications prior to closing, allowing final selections on fixtures and finishes.
