&nbsp; Hill Country Getaway Looking for a secluded and well-equipped place to stay with your family and friends when planning your next Texas adventure? Then, look no further than this exquisite getaway. Nine and a half miles from downtown Blanco, your home is also close to big cities and Hill Country hubs, such as Austin (59 miles), San Antonio (60 miles), Fredericksburg (26 miles), and Canyon Lake (41 miles). The Hill Country wine trail is close by, as well as breweries, distilleries, museums, and state parks. Several wineries are also within 10 miles of your home base including La Vie Estate, Narrow Path Winery and Vineyard, French Connection, Pedernales Cellars, and, one of "The World's Best Vineyards", William Chris Vineyards. This lovely home is all about outdoor living and fresh air. Take in gorgeous views of the sparkling pool with water features, relax by the catfish pond with a beautiful fountain, and enjoy a family dinner at the large picnic table on the patio. If you’re feeling adventurous, take a walk up the hill and hunt for sea shell fossils while you take in sweeping Hill Country views. Blanco is a Dark Sky Community, so you can see the Milky Way and millions of stars at night. There are so many places to hang out! You can visit the small dock in the fountain and feed the catfish, gather around the firepit for some storytelling, take a nap or read a good book while snuggling in the hammock, enjoy a refreshing splash in your private pool, or treat yourself to a bubbly time in the adjoining hot tub. Kids will enjoy the swings, hammock chairs, and basketball hoop. Plus, there is enough land to play any sport or yard game you want as well. Feel like staying inside? The game room is in a separate structure and is equipped with a Ping-Pong table, TV, games, and additional entertainment. The main house offers lots of board games for rainy days by the fire. <b>THINGS TO KNOW</b> The fourth bedroom is actually a separate guest house/cottage.
