Nearly 13 unrestricted acres on Ranch Road 12, about four miles north of downtown Dripping Springs and roughly eight miles southwest of Bee Cave. Open meadow, mature live oaks and long Hill Country views, with no HOA and no deed restrictions of record - flexibility that is increasingly rare this close in. Room for a single homestead, horses, or a multi-generational family compound, built the way the next owner wants it. A conceptual plan on file illustrates one version of that vision - a main residence, guest houses, a stable and shared gathering space - but nothing is built. The renderings shown in this listing are conceptual only; no improvements exist and the land is offered as-is. The tract is unincorporated Hays County within the City of Dripping Springs ETJ, so no municipal zoning applies while the City development standards do. Water is by private well and wastewater by on-site septic, both to be installed; electric is Pedernales Electric Cooperative. Access is from Ranch Road 12 by recorded easement. City GIS indicates a Zone X designation with no mapped floodplain at the parcel; buyer to verify the FIRM panel. Dripping Springs ISD - buyer to verify current attendance. Minutes from downtown Dripping Springs and the US 290 wine corridor, with Hamilton Pool, the Pedernales and Lake Travis all inside an easy drive.
The Gateway to the Hill Country! Unlimited possibilities for this unrestricted stunning property on 12.71 acres with Ranch Rd 12 frontage which can be used as residential, farm or commercial and is currently Ag exempt with bees. Located in highly desirable Dripping Springs ISD with easy access to Bee Cave and Galleria shopping. Entrance off Ranch Road 12 has a permitted and installed commercial driveway entrance. This entrance is a joint/shared entrance with Vet clinic next door. See agent for details.
