Curly H Ranch - Blanco County, Blanco, TX
The Curly H Ranch, an exceptional recreational retreat, is situated within the highly sought-after triangle formed by Blanco, Dripping Springs, and Wimberley. It presents a blend of immediate enjoyment and significant long-term investment potential in a rapidly expanding region of the Hill Country. A commanding 6-acre lake fed by Hagerman Creek, a direct tributary of Onion Creek, is one of the showcase features of the property. In addition to the surface water development, the ranch boasts a diversity in habitat, from wide-open pastures to thick hardwood creek bottoms, with elevations shifting between 1,440 and 1,600 feet.
Key Attributes

Surrounded by emerging high-quality residential development, the property is bordered to the north by the Las Colinas subdivision (20–50 acre lots) and to the west by The Divide (5–10 acre lots). The southern boundary adjoins another developing ranchette-style project, and a 400-acre tract north of Las Colinas is also being transformed into a new large-lot community, further highlighting the accelerating demand in this corridor.
Beyond the nearby Field of Dreams complex at Ranch Road 165 and Creek Road just six minutes away, the surrounding region offers hundreds of wineries, distilleries, boutique hotels, popular wedding venues, state parks, rivers, lakes, and countless recreational attractions within a 30-minute radius. This concentration of amenities makes the area one of the most dynamic and desirable regions for land investment in Central Texas.
As development east of Dripping Springs continues to intensify and prime land becomes increasingly scarce, this stretch of the Hill Country between Dripping Springs, Blanco, Johnson City, and Wimberley has emerged as one of the most compelling locations for opportunistic land investors.
Topography, Rangeland & Habitat
Curly H features rolling topography with several standout characteristics. Overlooking the main lake is a prominent bluff that offers dramatic views to the east, showcasing the Onion Creek Valley and the sprawling Longhorn River Ranch. To the west, the ridge line extends along the creek, and as the sun sets, shadows cascade over the landscape, accentuating the hilltops and valleys. Near the western portion of the ranch, there is a natural valley where ponds are situated on either side. The topography rises to the north and south, creating a sense of privacy for the western house.
Wildlife
The wildlife on the ranch includes the typical native game you would find in this part of the hill country. The native species you may see include white-tailed deer, Rio Grande turkey, dove, songbirds, waterfowl and various predator species.
Improvements
Curly H Ranch features two charming, recently renovated stone homes, multiple barns and outbuildings, and an extensive interior road and trail system.
The main ranch road, accessed through an electric gate off Ranch Road 165, runs east to west through the center of the property and leads to the first home. Nestled beneath a canopy of sprawling live oaks, this 1,650 SF stone house includes two bedrooms and one bathroom, with an open floor plan connecting the kitchen and living room. Adjacent to the home is a pole barn for equipment storage, along with a 9,000 SF high-walled metal storage building.
Continuing west along the main road, the second home sits on a hillside overlooking one of the three water features. This residence offers 2,216 SF with three bedrooms, a loft, and two bathrooms. It features a charming fireplace and a warm, wood-accented kitchen and dining area. Both homes are served by individual water wells, each with their own storage tanks nearby.
There is an older hunters cabin on the property that is 720 SF and a large three-car garage. Nearby are several additional storage barns, the largest of which is approximately 1,000 SF.
Approximately 80% of the ranch is high-fenced, with the remaining low-fenced areas allowing wildlife to move freely across the property. The main ranch road has been graded and improved, and miles of interior trails provide easy access to all areas of the property. A gated access point along the far western boundary offers secondary entry through The Divide subdivision via Onion Creek Lane.
Water
The water features of Curly H Ranch are a standout attribute, offering both aesthetic appeal and meaningful recreational value. The centerpiece is an impressive 6-acre private lake fed by the seasonal flow of Hagerman Creek, a direct tributary of the larger Onion Creek. This interconnected system provides a consistent source of fresh water and supports a healthy aquatic ecosystem. From the lake, hiking trails follow sections of the creek bottom, where 10-15 high limestone walls create a dramatic landscape that highlights frequent wildlife movement. Several additional seasonal creek corridors cross the ranch further enhancing the property’s natural character and exploration opportunities.
Two additional 1+/- acre ponds sit along the western boundary, positioned along a primary draw that forms a small chain of ponds in this portion of the ranch. The westernmost pond includes a valve system for controlled downstream release. These smaller ponds complement the main lake by providing additional fishing spots, attracting diverse birdlife, and serving as reliable watering sources for several species of wildlife.
In addition to the surface water features, the ranch includes two groundwater wells that supply water to the improvements and the ranch is located in the Blanco-Pedernales groundwater conservation district.
