Custom built by MWS Homes on a private cul-de-sac in the gated Creek of Driftwood, this Hill Country view home offers something increasingly hard to find in an area now dominated by production new construction: a home built with intention, on .55 acres of mature oaks. Inside, 3,214 square feet balance everyday livability with room to entertain. Soaring ceilings and a dramatic double-sided fireplace anchor two living areas and two dining areas, and the kitchen is built around a large center island and breakfast bar. Two bedrooms and a dedicated study on the main level allow for one-story-friendly living. Upstairs, a second living area opens to a private balcony alongside two additional bedrooms, a natural setup for guests, multigenerational stays, or a media retreat. Outside, a covered back porch with wood ceiling and fans overlooks a fenced, oak-shaded backyard framed by panoramic Hill Country views. Behind the gates, homeowners have private access to acres of Hill Country land, with hiking trails along the banks of Onion Creek that back up to the storied Lone Star Ranch. It’s a backdrop of horses grazing on the hillside and untouched terrain that few Austin-area communities can claim, and guided trail rides through the creek are a short drive away for those who want to saddle up. The community also offers underground utilities, and the home is zoned to Dripping Springs ISD’s Cypress Springs Elementary, Sycamore Springs Middle, and the district’s future high school. An easy drive to Dripping Springs and Austin yet worlds away in feel, the location puts The Salt Lick BBQ, Trattoria Lisina, local wineries, and the Violet Crown Trail within reach. Whether it becomes a full-time home or a lock-and-leave Hill Country retreat, this is custom-level living without the wait. Built once, built right, and ready now.
