Land as far as the eye can see — 2,016 acres to be exact — is part of the natural wonderment surrounding the Ranches of Brushy Top. Located three miles from Blanco, Texas, this truly Texas Hill Country community features incredible views atop rugged bluffs that soar 1,400 to 2,000 feet above sea level.  Homesites run the gamut of 5 to 75 acres and are priced from the $90s.

This unusual slice of Hill Country heaven could stand on its setting alone, but the addition of exotic wildlife puts this community “over the top.”  Noted for being the birthplace of the exotic animal business, the Hill Country has allowed rare, protected animals to revitalize as species and later be reintroduced to their countries of origin. The Ranches of Brushy Top features exotic wildlife such as scimitar-horned oryx, sika deer, lechwe, and blackbuck antelope, and the grandest of the herd — the elk — that can weigh over 1,000 pounds.

“It’s a complete thrill to be standing on the property and find yourself only feet away from any of these magnificent animals,” stated Joel Robuck with Brushy Top Partners.  No stranger to Texas Hill Country developments, Robuck has successfully developed award-winning communities throughout Texas, with a focus lately in the Texas Hill Country.

Robuck believes that the unique surroundings, which include over 80 acres of nature preserve with two fishing lakes and miles of trails that include footbridges spanning 50-foot ravines high above the upper lake and nature preserve, are this community’s major draw.

The 5- to 75-acre homesites offered at the Ranches of Brushy Top encourage the native and exotic wildlife to freely roam and graze across the land, which allows property owners to qualify for a Special AG Value Tax. Underground utilities and miles of paved roads are also included in Brushy Top’s unique design.

Brushy Top homeowners take comfort in guidelines that allow them the freedom to build residences that reflect their spirit while ensuring that the community maintains its integrity and reputation. The landowners’ association works to make sure that residents have the guidance and expertise they need to make the most of their property.

Brushy Top is located just 45 minutes from the Texas State Capitol building in downtown Austin, 45 miles north of San Antonio, and 5 miles north of historic downtown Blanco on Highway 281 in the heart of the Texas Hill Country.

The Brushy Top information center is open daily from 12noon to 5pm or by appointment.
