Dripping Springs, TX 78620 (Hays County)
About this property
Tucked along scenic Pursley Road in Dripping Springs, this beautiful 25-acre, unrestricted, wildlife-exempt tract offers the quiet Hill Country setting buyers are looking for, while still keeping them close to the conveniences, restaurants, shops, wineries, schools, and everyday amenities that make Dripping Springs one of the most sought-after areas west of Austin. Thoughtfully improved and fully fenced, the property features high fencing along the southern boundary and ranch fencing along the remaining boundaries. In 2020, approximately $21,000 in new fencing was installed, enhancing the land’s value and functionality. Scattered with large oaks, the land includes a rainwater-fed 1,500-gallon tank to support wildlife, a seasonal pond, and a pole barn with a concrete slab. Power is on the property. The elevation rises toward the back, where a potential build site overlooks the land and captures the peaceful setting. Nearby, the elevated meadow provides beautiful open space that could serve as an outdoor living area. With usable acreage, existing infrastructure, large oaks, and a quiet Hill Country setting already in place, this tract gives buyers the opportunity to shape the property into something truly special. The location adds another layer of value. Pursley Road has the quiet, tucked-away feel buyers want in the Hill Country, yet it remains incredibly connected to Dripping Springs conveniences and Downtown Austin. For buyers seeking even more privacy or a larger Hill Country acreage opportunity, an adjoining 12-acre retreat property featuring a home, guest studios, pool, and a 2,200+ sq ft party barn is available for purchase by a different owner, creating a possible 37-acre assembly. Details are available upon request. This is a rare opportunity to secure a well-located, wildlife-exempt Hill Country property with existing improvements, strong build-to-site potential, beautiful oak trees, and the added possibility of creating a larger Pursley Road offering.
