Property Description
Discover an extraordinary opportunity to own 25.83 ag-exempt acres in the heart of Driftwood, combining the best of peaceful Hill Country living, modern comfort, and future possibilities. This rare offering merges two adjacent parcels along Darden Hill Rd, featuring two distinct residences surrounded by restored native prairie, towering heritage oaks, and panoramic views of the Onion Creek Valley.
The front residence, architect-designed with a thoughtful open layout, includes 4 bedrooms, 2 baths, tall ceilings, a two-car garage, and covered porches front and back—perfect for watching the sun rise and set over gently rolling farmland. Set privately back from the road, it offers serenity just minutes from Driftwood's renowned wineries and charming destinations.
A second beautifully renovated 4BD/2BA home, updated in 2019 with a new 2024 metal roof, complements the property with rustic elegance and durability. This home sits amid a certified Pocket Prairie, recognized by the National Prairie Association of Texas for its ecological value. Meandering walking trails, native elms and oaks, a fenced orchard, and a charming chicken run add to the land's sustainable lifestyle appeal. A second well and seasonal pond site with windmill infrastructure enhance off-grid potential.
With over 400 feet of frontage on Darden Hill Rd and location in the Dripping Springs ETJ, this property invites vast development opportunities—subdivide, build additional homes, or establish a wedding venue, short-term rentals, or multi-generational homestead (buyer to verify). Light Deed restrictions appear to allow commercial use and subdividing. Buyer to verify. No HOA, fertile soil, and endless sky—this is Driftwood at its most dynamic and inspiring.
