3777 Middle Creek Rd, Blanco, TX 78606

On a picturesque Hill Country road approximately 12.5 miles West of Dripping Springs is the Mayfield Ranch. The 101.6 ac. (+/-) ranch is surrounded by very large ranches for this part of Texas, which gives it seclusion and privacy. The rolling terrain features a woodland wildlife of deer, turkey, ducks and other seasonal birds amongst the Red Oak, Madrone, and Mountain Laurel trees. The ranch grounds have been thoughtfully improved, with a dry stack rock wall entrance, a mile long paved road, and a lake. The lake’s dam was constructed with a 12-foot-wide compacted clay core, galvanized drain with an overflow, and a concrete spill way. At the heart of The Ranch is an extraordinary 5,270 sq. ft. home overlooking the lake. The timber frame and stone structure reflects the architectural heritage of the European settlers to this part of Texas. The compound consists of two structures. The main building houses the living room, dining room, powder room, kitchen, mud room, laundry room, and butler’s pantry. On the second floor there are two guest bedrooms, playroom, and shared full bath. The second structure consists of the primary bedroom and bath on the main floor, and on the second floor the theater, full bath, and office. The timber frame was logged in Ohio by the Amish and shipped to Texas Timber Frame in San Antonio for the mortis and tendon journey work and erection. There are over 3,000 mortise and tendon precise handcrafted joints in the structure. The 15-inch-thick limestone and stud walls provide a substantial insulating system. The solid cherry and maple cabinetry was all milled-on site. The long leaf pine floors were reclaimed from floor joists from an old, razed hotel in New Orleans. The living room and dining room both have authentic Count Rumford fireplaces. Whether you're captivated by the historic charm, the modern conveniences, or the stunning views, the Mayfield Ranch stands as a testament to luxurious living in the heart of the Hill Country.

At 3777 Middle Creek Road near Blanco, Texas, this 101.6-acre ranch property delivers complete energy and water independence without compromising the comfort of a 5,270-square-foot residence built to last centuries. Located 12.5 miles west of Dripping Springs in Blanco County, the property sits on rolling Hill Country terrain surrounded by large ranches that provide genuine privacy and seclusion, a rare luxury in this region.

The home's self-sufficiency systems are engineered into its foundation. A private lake with a 12-foot compacted clay core and concrete spillway provides water storage and irrigation, while the structural design - timber frame logged from Ohio and precision-mortised with over 3,000 handcrafted joints - creates a thermal envelope that works with the landscape rather than against it. The 15-inch limestone and stone walls naturally regulate temperature across the 4 bedrooms and 3 full baths. A mile-long paved private road provides secure access through mature red oak, madrone, and mountain laurel trees, with a dry stack rock wall entrance marking the property boundary.

The compound spans two connected structures. The main building contains living, dining, and kitchen spaces with a butler's pantry and mud room suited for farm operations. The second structure separates the primary suite and a dedicated office - practical for managing the land or working remotely. Count Rumford fireplaces in both living and dining rooms provide backup heating aligned with the property's independence principles. Solid cherry and maple cabinetry milled on-site, long leaf pine reclaimed from New Orleans hotel floors, and multiple living areas with cathedral ceilings create spaces that feel both historically authentic and modern.

The land itself supports the self-sufficiency model. Rolling slopes and substantial tree coverage attract deer, turkey, and seasonal waterfowl - wildlife management is straightforward on acreage this size. Students attend Blanco ISD schools including Blanco Elementary, Blanco Middle School, and Blanco High School, serving families committed to both land stewardship and education.

At $4.50 million ($854 per square foot), this property represents a rare Texas Hill Country opportunity where independence from municipal systems is built into the design, not retrofitted onto it. The combination of engineered water independence, thermal efficiency through materials and structure, private access, and established ecosystems creates a self-contained lifestyle few properties in Blanco County can match.
