Set quietly atop an elevated limestone ridge in Dripping Springs, this 2022 custom residence marries clean modern lines with authentic Hill Country materials. Built of thick-cut native Texas limestone and reclaimed Douglas fir timbers, the home offers an unhurried, grounded retreat framed by panoramic views of cedar-covered ridges and heritage live oaks.

Designed for intentional living and quiet seclusion, the home features an integrated 30,000-gallon rainwater harvesting system with multi-stage UV purification, dark-sky-compliant exterior lighting for clear stargazing, and geothermal climate control. An open floor plan flows from a chef’s kitchen fitted with Sub-Zero and Wolf appliances to an expansive screened outdoor pavilion centered on an open hearth, with wide-plank white oak floors and twelve-foot timber ceilings throughout the main living spaces.

The 2.4-acre grounds are private and perimeter-fenced, with easy access to the area’s vineyards, distilleries, and equestrian trails. Dripping Springs, the self-styled Gateway to the Hill Country, pairs a walkable Mercer Street with a well-regarded independent school district, and downtown Austin remains under forty minutes away via scenic Highway 290.
