TEXAS HILL COUNTRY

Curated sanctuaries in the limestone hills

A modern cut-limestone ranch estate perched on a high ridge overlooking the Blanco River valley in Texas.
Regional Monograph

Proximity paired with absolute seclusion and dark night skies.

The corridor running west of Austin through Dripping Springs, Wimberley, Blanco, Johnson City, Fredericksburg, and Marble Falls has a building tradition of its own. Cream limestone, standing-seam metal roofs, deep porches, and reclaimed timber sit alongside modern glass, geothermal systems, and rainwater collection.

Most of these towns sit within an hour of central Austin along US-290, US-281, and RR-12, yet offer protected dark skies, spring-fed creeks, and the privacy that only acreage provides.
