61.07 ag-exempt acres on McKinney Creek make 2454 McKinney Loop one of the larger turnkey residential ranch offerings in Blanco County at this price point. In Blanco, this Blanco, Texas farm - single family residence pairs a 2020-built, 3,150-square-foot home with working land, long views, and the kind of elbow room that is getting harder to find this close to town.

At $3.60 million, or $1,141 per square foot, the numbers tell only part of the story. The real value is how the land and house work together. You get four bedrooms, four baths, one fireplace, and a layout that fits full-time living, weekend use, or multi-generational ownership. The homesite sits within a broad 61.07-acre tract with mature trees, perimeter fencing, a pond, seasonal water, barns, hay and livestock storage, a chicken coop, RV and boat storage, and a separate guest space. That mix is what buyers look for in Blanco County when they want a property that can handle recreation, hunting, livestock, and everyday comfort without feeling improvised.

Living at 2454 McKinney Loop means having privacy on the ranch while staying connected to the essentials in Blanco. McKinney Loop is one of the more recognized rural roads west of town, and access to U.S. 281 keeps downtown Blanco, the Old Blanco County Courthouse square, and Blanco State Park within an easy trip. The location also puts you in the middle of the Hill Country corridor between Austin and San Antonio, which matters for owners balancing ranch life with business, travel, or second-home use.

For families, the property is served by Blanco ISD, with Blanco campuses for elementary, middle, and high school. That district draw is a real factor in this market because buyers looking in Blanco want land, lower density, and a straightforward school path without giving up access to community events, athletics, and daily services in town.

What stands out most here is flexibility. This is not just a scenic tract with a house on it. It is a finished Hill Country holding with infrastructure already in place, a modern home built in 2020, and land substantial enough to protect both privacy and future use. In a market where smaller acreage often trades on location alone, 2454 McKinney Loop offers scale, usability, and staying power that should hold long-term appeal as Blanco continues to gain attention.
