About This Home
Experience the charm and character of this stunning Hacienda-style home set on approximately 18 acres in the heart of the Texas Hill Country. Ideally positioned between Dripping Springs and Blanco, this property offers the perfect balance of privacy, convenience, and breathtaking natural beauty.
The home features 4 spacious bedrooms, 4 full bathrooms, and a dedicated office, all thoughtfully designed within 3,400 square feet of living space. Expansive outdoor living is a highlight, with over 2,000 square feet of decking—perfect for entertaining or simply enjoying the serene surroundings.
Towering, mature oak trees frame the property, creating a picturesque setting and providing shade and tranquility. From nearly every angle, you’ll take in sweeping Hill Country views that truly set this property apart.
A newly cleared access point offers direct entry off RM 165, making coming and going effortless. Despite its peaceful, private feel, the location is incredibly convenient—just 15 minutes to downtown Dripping Springs, 10 minutes to downtown Blanco, and less than an hour to both Austin and San Antonio.
Whether you're looking for a full-time residence, a weekend retreat, or a property with room to expand, this unique Hill Country estate delivers space, beauty, and accessibility in one exceptional package.
Two thousand square feet of deck overlooking 18 acres of Hill Country wilderness makes 2966 RM 165 in Dripping Springs the kind of place where weekends stop feeling like time off and start feeling like your real life. This hacienda-style home sits on genuine acreage between Dripping Springs and Blanco, which means you own enough land to disappear into it.
The property delivers what Hill Country buyers actually want: space to move. Four bedrooms and four full bathrooms across 3,400 square feet give visiting family room to spread out without feeling crowded. A dedicated office means you're not pretending to work from a bedroom corner. Built in 2020, the masonry construction handles Hill Country weather without constant maintenance. Mature oaks already shade the property, which cuts cooling costs and gives you instant landscape maturity instead of waiting a decade for trees to grow.
The real asset is what happens outside. Those 18 acres can absorb ATVs, shooting ranges, hiking trails, or whatever recreational setup appeals to you. You're not managing neighbors fifteen feet away. You're managing your own land. Kids and dogs operate differently on acreage. Adults do too. The expansive deck becomes the gathering point where you watch the Hill Country light change across the afternoon, and your guests actually want to stay because there's nowhere else they'd rather be.
Location cuts both ways here, and this property gets it right. You're 15 minutes to downtown Dripping Springs if you need coffee or a restaurant reservation. Blanco is 10 minutes away. Austin sits roughly 45 minutes south, San Antonio roughly an hour west, making either city accessible for work or weekend obligations without commuting fatigue. Johnson City ISD serves the property with schools anchored by Lyndon B Johnson across all levels. RM 165 provides direct access, so coming home doesn't mean grinding through subdivision roads.
At 1.4 million dollars, you're paying 412 dollars per square foot for developed living space on land that most Hill Country buyers never find. The home wasn't built yesterday in a spec subdivision. It was built on acreage by someone who understood that Hill Country living means actual space. That's the difference between owning a house with a lot and owning a property.
