Additional 28-acre tract $1,064,000
53.62-acre compound (full offering) $4,814,000
Located in the Dripping Springs area, the property is organized as a collection of purpose-built structures designed to function as a compound rather than a single residence. Across more than 10,000 square feet, the improvements include a main residence by David Webber of Webber + Studio, four detached guest casitas, a dining hall with commercial kitchen, an event barn, and a pool pavilion with kitchen and bath.
Each structure serves a distinct role, allowing the property to operate in multiple ways. It can function as a private residence with guest accommodations or as a short-term rental, bed and breakfast, wellness retreat, or event venue. The infrastructure to support both private use and business operations is already in place.
The layout separates living, hosting, and guest spaces across the land. The main residence anchors daily living, while the casitas provide privacy for guests. The dining hall and event barn support larger gatherings with a commercial-grade kitchen and spaces designed for scale.
The 53.62-acre setting features rolling Hill Country terrain, heritage oaks, open pasture, and a 150-year-old live oak. Located within reach of Austin, the property offers accessibility without sacrificing space or flexibility.
The full 53.62-acre Mystic Sky Ranch at 5818 Ranch Road 165 in Blanco represents a rare convergence of architectural intention and land-use flexibility, priced at $5.50 million or $653 per square foot across 8,414 square feet of built structures. This is not a traditional residence but a deliberately orchestrated compound designed by David Webber of Webber + Studio, structured to serve multiple functions simultaneously: private family retreat, multi-generational hub, boutique hospitality operation, or curated event destination.
The material language throughout the property speaks to purposeful restraint. Stone and stucco construction across the main residence and four detached guest casitas creates visual cohesion while allowing each structure to maintain distinct identity. Interiors rely on honest materials - concrete, tile, and wood flooring paired with exposed beamed ceilings and vaulted spaces that enhance the Hill Country vernacular without mimicking it. Built-in gas ranges, commercial-grade ovens, and walk-in closets serve both daily living and operational requirements without decoration.
The 53.62 acres organize themselves into functional zones rather than ornamental landscaping. The main residence anchors the property, while four guest casitas provide privacy and independence. A dedicated dining hall with commercial kitchen, event barn, and pool pavilion with integrated kitchen and bath sit deliberately distributed across the property. This separation allows the compound to scale from intimate family use to hosting groups of 100 without requiring guests to navigate through private living quarters. The uncovered courtyard, covered patios, outdoor gas grills, and private pool create distinct outdoor rooms for different occasions.
The land itself carries design weight. Heritage oaks punctuate rolling pasture, and a 150-year-old live oak serves as a generational anchor. The property sits within reach of Austin technology corridors - under 45 minutes to central Austin - while maintaining genuine Hill Country separation. Within Blanco ISD, the compound sits in an area that respects land ownership and privacy.
Buyers for 5818 Ranch Road 165 typically recognize that land, architecture, and infrastructure already aligned for multiple income or use models represent a foundation most cannot recreate. Whether maintained as a private estate or operated as a retreat property, the architectural clarity and functional separation eliminate the constraints that limit most Hill Country properties to single-purpose use.
