New approx. 1800 sq ft home on property under the canopy of large live oak trees overlooking a grassy meadow next to the creek with sycamores and native tree cover. NO RESTRICTIONS! A short distant from the intersection of Hwy 281 and Hwy 290 W. Excellent Hwy access - a good amount of Hwy frontage.
30.84 unrestricted acres with strong US 281 frontage this close to the Hwy 281 and Hwy 290 W intersection is getting hard to find, and 8170 N US Hwy 281 Hwy puts that scale in a highly usable Blanco County location. In Blanco, this Blanco, TX 78606 farm - single family residence is set up for buyers who want land, access, water features, and multiple paths for future use.
At a list price of $2.50M, the land basis is roughly $81,000 per acre, which gives useful context for a tract with highway exposure, a seasonal creek, mature tree cover, and existing improvements already in place. The property includes an older 1880s homestead, a barn, additional buildings, and a newer home of about 1,800 square feet positioned under large live oak trees overlooking a grassy meadow near the creek. Sycamores and native trees add shade and privacy along the back side of the tract, which matters in this part of the Hill Country where usable outdoor space and water features drive long-term appeal.
What stands out about living at 8170 N US Hwy 281 Hwy is the balance between rural setting and practical connectivity. You have quick access to both US Highway 281 and Highway 290 W, which makes day-to-day travel simpler whether you are heading into Blanco, Johnson City, Dripping Springs, or toward Austin and San Antonio. Blanco State Park, the Blanco River, and the historic Blanco town square are all part of the local rhythm here, and the route south on 281 gives you a direct line through one of the most traveled north-south corridors in the region. For buyers thinking beyond a pure homestead play, the frontage and no-restrictions profile open the door for venue, agricultural, residential, or subdivision conversations, subject to county requirements and due diligence.
The current listing does not publish bedroom count, bathroom count, total interior square footage beyond the approximate 1,800-square-foot newer home, year built, school district, school names, or school ratings, so price per square foot cannot be calculated from the available data. Days on market sit at 1,064, which tells you this is a specialized property rather than a standard house hunt. That is exactly why the right buyer may see real upside here. Large acreage with creek frontage, legacy structures, mature live oaks, and direct highway access is a combination that can hold lifestyle value now and development relevance over time.
