thank you for the code, exactly what i needed and much appreciated. i modified slightly to control output amount by adding
$excerpt = wp_trim_words($description, 20); // Adjust the number of words as needed

add_filter(
    'hivepress/v1/templates/listing_view_block/blocks',
    function ($blocks, $template) {
        $listing = $template->get_context('listing');

        if ($listing && $listing->get_description()) {
            $description = $listing->get_description();
            $excerpt = wp_trim_words($description, 25); // Adjust the number of words as needed

            $blocks = hivepress()->helper->merge_trees(
                ['blocks' => $blocks],
                [
                    'blocks' => [
                        'listing_details_primary' => [
                            'blocks' => [
                                'custom_listing_block_description' => [
                                    'type'    => 'content',
                                    'content' => '<p>' . esc_html($excerpt) . '</p>',
                                    '_order'  => 20,
                                ],
                            ],
                        ],
                    ],
                ]
            )['blocks'];
        }

        return $blocks;
    },
    1000,
    2
);
