About the Area

1685 Hwy 281 Hwy is located in Johnson City, Texas, in Blanco County. Blanco County is one of the most scenic and sought-after counties in the Texas Hill Country, home to the charming town of Blanco and the world-famous Willow City Loop, a winding road through private ranch land that draws thousands of visitors during bluebonnet season each spring.

The Blanco River originates in Kendall County and flows through the heart of Blanco County, feeding spring-fed swimming holes and limestone-banked swimming areas. The Pedernales River also flows through the eastern portion of the county. Rolling hills, granite outcroppings, and post oak savannas define the landscape.

Johnson City had an estimated population of 1,952 as of 2023. The 78636 zip code has a median household income of $59,625, a median home value of $458,800, and a median age of 52.7. The average household size is 2.3 people.

Lavender farming, vineyards, agritourism, and ranching define Blanco County's agricultural identity. The county has become a destination for weekend visitors from Austin and San Antonio, supporting a growing hospitality and short-term rental economy alongside traditional ranch operations.
