Ranch 33-Peaceful 20 ac Ranch w/Spool, Firepit

Summary:

Welcome to Ranch 33, an elegant boutique retreat nestled in the serene countryside just outside Blanco, Texas. Thoughtfully designed and newly built, this ranch-style estate blends refined modern amenities with timeless Hill Country charm. Set on 20 private acres, it offers an exclusive escape where evenings are spent stargazing beneath vast Texas skies, mornings bring peaceful wildlife sightings, and every moment is designed for unforgettable gatherings with family and friends.



The Space:

Ranch 33 is a one-of-a-kind Hill Country retreat where elevated design meets sweeping Texas landscapes. Thoughtfully crafted across two distinctive buildings—The Bunkhouse and The Playhouse—connected by the dramatic Skywalk, this boutique estate offers unparalleled westward views over rolling oak-covered hills and grasslands. It’s the perfect backdrop for savoring quiet mornings with coffee and evenings painted with unforgettable Hill Country sunsets.



Inside the Bunkhouse, you’ll find versatile accommodations designed for both comfort and style. The lower level features a spacious bunk area with two queen beds and three built-in singles above, while the cozy loft offers an additional queen bed. A fully equipped chef’s kitchen and a large spa-inspired bathroom complete this welcoming space.



Stroll across the Skywalk to the expansive Playhouse, a stunning open-concept haven with plush lounge seating, a dining area for shared meals, and a 70-inch TV with surround sound—perfect for indulgent movie nights indoors.



Step outside to experience the true magic of Ranch 33. Two elevated decks showcase panoramic 180-degree Hill Country views, while the sprawling flagstone patio offers multiple areas for relaxation and entertaining: a shaded lounge with outdoor furniture, picnic dining, a Weber grill, wood-burning firepit, and a large spool (heated pool) for refreshing swims by day. For added indulgence, unwind in the optional hot tub under the stars, heated to 104° for a truly luxurious evening soak.



Beyond the patio, endless acres invite exploration. Enjoy mountain biking trails, a five-hole disc golf course, horseshoes, and cornhole, or simply wander the serene countryside. Just minutes away, the charming town of Blanco awaits with antique shops, breweries, restaurants, and Blanco State Park for swimming and fishing.



Whether you’re seeking a serene couple’s escape, a luxury family getaway, or a memorable gathering with friends, Ranch 33 delivers the perfect blend of modern comfort, natural beauty, and boutique-style charm in every season.
