Blanco County lies in the scenic Texas Hill Country, with Johnson City (the hometown of President Lyndon B. Johnson) as its county seat and Blanco as another charming hub. Established in 1858, the county retains a rustic, small-town character with strong ties to ranching, wine production, and tourism. The area is mostly rural-suburban, popular with retirees and weekenders from Austin and San Antonio (each about an hour away). Housing includes stone ranch homes, cabins, and custom Hill Country estates. Prices for existing homes typically range from $350,000 to $600,000, with acreage for building running $20,000–$40,000 per acre, especially near wine trails.
