Secluded Hill Country sanctuary where absolute peace, privacy, and timeless beauty converge across 33+ gently rolling unrestricted acres. Tucked beneath a magnificent canopy of heritage live oaks and surrounded by lush native landscape, this remarkable property has been thoughtfully improved to create the feel of a private family compound by offering flexibility for multi-generational living, a weekend retreat, hobby ranch, or future estate with the freedom to shape the property according to your own vision. The improvements include an immaculate main residence completely renovated in 2000, a beautifully appointed guest cottage, an independent office or studio, a heated and cooled two car garage with workshop, RV carport, fenced and cross-fenced pastures encompassing more than 10 acres of productive grazing land, seasonal creek and half acre pond. The light-filled two-bedroom, two-bath main residence is thoughtfully designed to embrace its tranquil surroundings, with expansive picture windows installed in 2013 framing majestic live oaks and inviting the outdoors in. Quality craftsmanship throughout evokes the warmth and permanence of classic Hill Country homes, showcasing solid wood cased windows, custom cabinetry, and generous covered porches perfectly suited for morning coffee or quiet evenings accompanied only by birdsong and gentle Hill Country breezes. The spacious primary suite serves as a true private retreat featuring a handsome stone fireplace, comfortable sitting area, additional storage, laundry facilities, exterior access, and a gracious bath with dual vanities, roll-in shower, and oversized walk-in closet. Designed for both everyday comfort and effortless entertaining, the open-concept floorplan flows naturally from the great room through the kitchen into a secondary living area before leading to a private junior suite with full bath and access to the expansive covered patio. Privately positioned beyond its own gated entrance, the charming guest cottage offers complete independence with a welcoming wraparound porch, full kitchen, laundry, and bath, ideal for extended family, guests, or caretaker accommodations. A separate standalone office provides exceptional flexibility as a private workspace, studio, fitness room, or creative retreat. The surrounding acreage is equally impressive, offering useable topography, productive grazing pasture, livestock pens, mature hardwoods, abundant wildlife including whitetail and axis deer, and two functional wells. A wildlife exemption helps maintain exceptionally low property taxes while preserving the property's natural beauty. Perhaps the greatest luxury is the absence of use restrictions which provide a rare opportunity to enjoy the land exactly as intended or thoughtfully transform it over time. Expand the existing improvements, create an equestrian estate, establish a working ranch, hunt, cultivate gardens or vineyards, or simply preserve this peaceful retreat for generations to come, all just minutes to restaurants, wineries and shopping in Blanco and Fredericksburg.

One of the best priced ranch offerings in Blanco County. Cottonwood Creek Ranch is a scenic 140 acre Hill Country property anchored by a charming, renovated historic white farmhouse and defined by exceptional control along both sides of Cottonwood Creek. The farmhouse is thoughtfully updated while preserving its original character and serves as an inviting residence, guest house, or interim home while planning a future main residence. One of the ranch's most valuable and distinguishing features is its rare and extensive ownership along Cottonwood Creek. The property offers approximately 1,841.73 feet of frontage on both sides of the creek, along with an additional 2,340.08 feet extending to the centerline, for a total combined creek frontage of approximately 4,181 feet. This creates an unusually long and private stretch of scenic creek corridor. Towering live oak and post oak trees line the rock-bottom channel, complemented by exposed limestone and native grasses that define the classic Texas Hill Country landscape. The ranch also offers long-range views of the surrounding Hill Country, abundant wildlife habitat, and a well-balanced mix of open pasture, elevated vantage points, and wooded creek bottom. With quality improvements, excellent access, and meaningful upside, Cottonwood Creek Ranch is well suited for ranch living, recreation, or long-term investment. Cottonwood Creek Ranch is located just minutes from the charming Hill Country town of Blanco. The property benefits from paved county road frontage, offering excellent access while maintaining a private, rural setting. Blanco is uniquely positioned approximately 45 minutes to an hour from both Austin and San Antonio, yet it has retained its authentic Hill Country charm. Unlike many surrounding towns influenced by rapid growth, Blanco remains less commercialized and continues to offer a true small-town Hill Country atmosphere. The ranch features gently rolling Hill Country terrain with expansive native grass pastures and elevated areas that provide long-range vistas across the surrounding countryside. The creek corridor is heavily wooded with mature live oak and post oak trees, where limestone outcroppings and a rock-bottom channel create a visually striking and functional landscape. The topography supports grazing, wildlife habitat, and multiple potential homesites with scenic views and privacy. Improvements include a renovated historic farmhouse-style residence situated beneath mature oak trees. The home blends historic Hill Country character with modern updates and features hardwood flooring, wood-paneled walls, beadboard ceilings, and updated kitchen and living areas. Efficient mini-split HVAC systems provide year-round climate control. The farmhouse is well suited for use as a guest house or interim residence while constructing a primary home on the property, allowing immediate enjoyment of the ranch while planning future improvements. Additional improvements include a gated entrance, internal ranch roads, fencing, and water infrastructure designed to support both livestock and wildlife. The defining feature of the ranch is its extensive ownership along both sides of Cottonwood Creek. The creek is a Hill Country wet-weather creek with a well-defined limestone and rock-bottom channel. During wet periods, the creek flows and forms holding pools that enhance the property's aesthetic appeal and attract wildlife. The shaded creek corridor serves as a natural travel route for game and a focal point of the ranch. Due to its scale, rock bottom, and established channel, the creek presents potential for future water enhancement or management strategies that could improve long-term water retention and potentially create a more permanent water feature near the upper portion of the ranch. Additional water improvements include concrete water troughs and a small pond located toward the back of the property. A water well near the residence supplies domestic water
