About this property
Come fall in love with your own 5.2-Acre Hill Country Sanctuary Imagine mornings on the porch with nothing but live oaks and birdsongs. This 5.2-acre retreat in Dripping Springs gives you the space to breathe, build, and dream. The setting is secluded but not isolated. You’re tucked into the rolling beauty of Texas Hill Country, yet only minutes from groceries, dining, and boutiques in town. Austin is 30 miles east. The wineries of Fredericksburg and the waters of Lake Travis are both under an hour away. A 543 sq ft cedar cabin waits for your vision. One bedroom, one bath, a loft and rustic charm already framed out and partially finished. Live on-site in the designated RV space while you finish it exactly how you want it. Groundwork is done and a rainwater collection system is in place, with bulk water delivery available as you build. There is no HOA and only light restrictions. Three sides are fenced, giving you a clear canvas and the freedom to create. A 12x8 double-lofted shed with power and a built-in workbench is ready for your projects, tools, or storage. Zoned to the acclaimed Dripping Springs ISD, this is more than land. It is possibility. A weekend escape, a future rental, or the legacy property you pass down. (HOA allows for only 1 residence, stay in the cabin or RV while building your dream home or live simply in your cabin. The cabin would be considered an out-building if a big home is built).
