This 81.2 acre Hill Country property in Blanco offers a rare combination of deep, fertile soil, mature live oaks, rolling hills, open pasture and approximately 840 feet of Crabapple Creek, including your own private swimming hole. Held by the same family since the 1950s, the property includes a historic home dating to the 1890s, along with barns and other improvements that give it the feel of a true Hill Country homestead.
