Johnson City sits at the crossroads of US Highways 281 and 290 in the heart of the Texas Hill Country. Home to the Blanco County Courthouse, a charming Main Street, and a booming arts and dining scene, this town has deep roots and a bright future.
Go north on 281, and you reach the Highland Lakes, Lake LBJ, Inks Lake, and Lake Marble Falls. Go west on 290, and you are on the Hill Country Wine Trail with over 50 wineries between here and Fredericksburg. Austin is less than an hour east. San Antonio is less than an hour south.
As a 30-year veteran of Central Texas real estate, Carol Whisenant knows this corridor better than most. She understands the value of looking beyond the obvious, and Johnson City rewards that vision with space, freedom, and value that overcrowded Austin suburbs simply cannot match.

Highway 290, running west out of Johnson City, is one of the most scenic and rewarding drives in Texas.
Over 50 wineries stretch from Dripping Springs all the way to Fredericksburg, offering world-class Texas wine, live music, farm-to-table dining, and legendary Hill Country sunsets.
Whether you are a weekend visitor or a full-time resident, the Wine Trail is essentially your backyard.
Pair that with the Highland Lakes just 30 minutes north, and you truly have water by day and wine by night.
464 Ranch is a private, gated ranchette community developed by Balcones Land Co. just north of Johnson City on Highway 281.
Once a trophy-hunting ranch, the land has been thoughtfully subdivided into 5- to 11-acre lots starting at $260K. Exotic wildlife, including Blackbuck Antelope, Axis, and Whitetail Deer, roam freely throughout the property.
A custom $1.89M spec home is also available. All lots carry a wildlife tax exemption, so you pay full taxes only on your home footprint, not the surrounding land. Underground power, high-speed fiber optic, asphalt roads, and a 7-acre community park with a fishing pond round out the amenities. Visit 464ranch.com to explore available lots.
