440 Chimney Valley Rd, Blanco, TX 78606

Escape the city and reconnect with nature on this beautiful property where abundant wildlife roams and peaceful sunrises and sunsets create a truly relaxing setting. Enjoy evenings by the river under a sky full of stars or cool off in the summer with approximately 600 feet of the Blanco River flowing through the center of the land, offering both scenic views and the soothing sound of moving water. The property features a diverse mix of trees, including mature hardwoods such as pecan, soapberry, walnut, sycamore, and false willow, along with newly planted oaks and cypress from a thoughtful two-year land restoration project. With access to a private 5-acre park next door, the land feels even more expansive, and multiple ideal building sites are easily accessible with an electricity easement already in place. The property is fenced on three sides and includes a new 16-foot gate installed in November 2020, along with a roughly 600-foot all-weather driveway made of road base and concrete completed in January 2021 for reliable year round access. Located in the heart of the Texas Hill Country, just 8 minutes from Blanco State Park and about 45 minutes from both San Antonio and Austin, this property offers light restrictions, county-maintained paved road access, and an exceptional blend of privacy, natural beauty, and convenience.

The iron gates at 440 Chimney Valley Road open onto 20.5 acres of Hill Country land where the Blanco River itself becomes your private waterfront. This is raw Texas Hill Country property with serious bones: approximately 600 feet of river frontage flowing through the center of the tract, mature pecan, walnut, and sycamore trees older than most Hill Country ranches, plus a thoughtful two-year restoration that added native oaks and cypress throughout.

The driveway tells you everything about the property's maturity. A 600-foot all-weather drive of road base and concrete was completed in January 2021, engineered for reliable access year-round. The gated entry itself is new, a 16-foot iron gate installed in November 2020 that marks this as genuinely private land. The property is fenced on three sides, establishing clear boundaries without the oppressive feel of excessive barriers.

The grounds themselves are what separate this from raw acreage. The mixed tree canopy ranges from towering hardwoods exceeding 40 feet to moderate growth that frames views without creating walls. The rolling slope means multiple ideal building sites already exist with varied exposures and views. An electricity easement is already in place, removing a major hurdle for future development. The River Ridge Ranch subdivision location in Blanco County places you at the exact intersection of accessibility and isolation: eight minutes from Blanco State Park, yet with light restrictions that won't suddenly change your experience.

The river adds both tangible and intangible value. You get scenic views and the acoustic benefit of moving water, but also wildlife movement corridors. The adjacent 5-acre private park deepens the sense of expanded space without losing the privacy Hill Country buyers seek. County-maintained paved road access means you're not dependent on private road associations or unreliable surfaces.

This is land for someone who understands Hill Country value: water frontage, mature trees, multiple development options, and a location close enough to San Antonio and Austin for commuting viability without actually being in either city's expansion path. The $1.20M price reflects land with infrastructure already solved and a restoration story already written. You're buying a manicured country estate framework, not a blank slate requiring years of land work.
