About This Home
Cozy cabin on 25+ acres in Grape Creek Ranches in the Sandy Community. Perfect for a weekend get-away and/or hunting retreat. Wildlife includes whitetail deer, turkey, feral hogs and more. Some pleasant views of the Pedernales River valley.
The private gate at 691 Grape Creek Road opens onto a gated estate spanning 25.165 acres in Johnson City, Johnson City, where this 2017-built residence commands a secluded property that functions as a personal retreat within Blanco County. The long driveway winds through the gently sloping terrain, lined with moderate native tree coverage that screens the home from public view and creates natural privacy corridors across the land.
The grounds themselves are the primary asset here. This is manicured acreage designed for someone seeking a working retreat rather than raw wilderness. The moderate tree coverage provides structure without density, allowing open sight lines across portions of the property while maintaining canopy protection. The gentle slope of the land means water drains naturally, and the tree placement suggests intentional land stewardship. Wildlife is established here - whitetail deer, turkey, and feral hogs traverse the property seasonally, making this a legitimate hunting property for those interested in wildlife management and harvest opportunities. The landscape also captures pleasant views toward the Pedernales River valley to the south, a geographical feature that anchors this property within the Hill Country's most valued geography.
The residence itself is modest by design - 676 square feet, one bedroom and one full bath in a frame construction that fits the retreat character of the property. Built in 2017, the home includes essential amenities including electric range, microwave, laminate flooring, and a side porch that frames the outdoor experience. A private pool sits on the grounds, offering a cooling amenity during Blanco County summers. The total package prices at $780,000, or roughly $1,154 per square foot, a valuation that reflects the substantial acreage premium rather than the compact living space.
Johnson City ISD serves this address through Lyndon B Johnson schools, which operate as a single campus serving all grade levels in this small, tight-knit district. The Sandy community location places the property roughly 20 minutes north of Johnson City's downtown and retail core, positioning owners near both isolation and modest convenience. The gated entry and deep setback from Grape Creek Road ensure that privacy is structural, not negotiable. For buyers seeking a weekend compound with genuine land for hunting, wildlife observation, or simply disappearing into Hill Country solitude, this 25-acre estate offers the gateway experience without the high-end residence requirement.
