8577 Ranch Road 2766, Johnson City, TX 78636

Spanning 572 highly improved acres and situated among thousands of acres development protected properties, the secluded 5 Seven 2 Ranch enjoys the privacy afforded by only having two large-acreage neighbors. Located near Henly between Dripping Springs and Johnson City in Blanco County, the Ranch is less than 24 miles from Bee Cave or 38 miles from Downtown Austin. With frontage on Ranch Road 2766 (Robinson Road, which feeds into Fitzhugh Road in West Austin and 9 miles East to Johnson City) and less than a quarter mile from the entrance to Pedernales Falls State Park, modern conveniences are even closer only 15 minutes to the heart of Dripping Springs.

The 5 Seven 2 Ranch features dramatic 360 degree horizon views, +2,500 feet of accessible Pedernales Riverfront, tremendous elevation changes of more than 340 feet and highly improved interior roads. Perimeter fenced and cross fenced into three pastures, the Ranch features 2 wells (powered + solar) and 3 tanks supporting livestock and game. Additionally, a modest foreman’s house is in place for a full-time ranch manager to live on premises.

Two springs percolate from rock formations found on the Ranch and are popular places to find Native American artifacts dating back thousands of years including arrow heads and working tools. Mature Cypress trees line the river while live oaks, post oaks, sycamore, and other native trees dot the pastures. The Ranch has undergone a multi-year strategic restoration to bring back native grasses, tend to majestic oak and pecan trees, and attract wildlife through the clearing of mesquite, cedar and other undesirable plant species.

The Ranch is home to registered Texas Longhorns and a breeding population of Scimitar Horned Oryx. Additionally, many free-range game call the Ranch home due to low hunting pressure including deer species such as trophy sized white tail, axis, and sika while other game include bobcat, fox, aoudad sheep, golden and bald eagles, turkey, duck and dove.

At 8577 Ranch Road 2766 in Johnson City, Blanco County, the 572-acre 5 Seven 2 Ranch operates as a fully self-sufficient homestead where independence isn't an aspiration-it's the foundation of daily life. The property's two solar-powered wells feed three elevated tanks that supply livestock and wildlife across three separately fenced pastures, eliminating dependence on municipal infrastructure across terrain that rises more than 340 feet in elevation. Two natural springs percolate from the limestone formations, providing gravity-fed water systems that have sustained the land for generations and continue to attract wildlife through established restoration practices.

The 1,456-square-foot primary residence sits on the property at $15,125 per square foot, with a second foreman's house enabling full-time ranch management on-site. The ranch's energy independence comes from a solar infrastructure that powers both wells, reducing reliance on the electrical grid while maintaining modern comfort. The property's restoration strategy-removing invasive cedar and mesquite while cultivating native grasses and mature pecan and oak trees-has transformed the pastures into a self-regulating ecosystem that supports registered Texas Longhorns, a breeding population of Scimitar Horned Oryx, and free-range game including trophy-sized white-tail, axis, and sika deer.

Located less than a quarter mile from Pedernales Falls State Park's entrance and adjacent to development-protected properties across thousands of surrounding acres, the ranch offers genuine isolation without remoteness. Pedernales Riverfront spanning more than 2,500 accessible feet creates natural boundaries while native cypress, live oak, and sycamore trees provide established canopy. Ranch Road 2766 (Robinson Road) connects directly to Fitzhugh Road leading into West Austin, placing Dripping Springs' amenities 15 minutes away and Bee Cave approximately 24 miles south. Johnson City lies 9 miles east, while Downtown Austin is 38 miles distant for those occasions when leaving becomes necessary.

The property's multi-year restoration demonstrates serious land stewardship-native grasses have returned, wildlife populations have stabilized without intensive hunting pressure, and the archaeological significance of two spring-fed areas where Native American artifacts remain visible connects the land to thousands of years of habitation. This is sustainable living where every system-water, energy, pasture management, wildlife habitat-operates independently and regeneratively. For buyers seeking complete self-sufficiency without sacrificing modern comfort or access to Hill Country culture, this ranch represents the rare convergence of ecological health, privacy, and practical independence.
