TX Driftwood
Howard Ranch
Howard Ranch is a master-planned community just south of downtown Dripping Springs, straddling the Driftwood area (78619/78620) along Ranch Road 12 and Trebled Waters Trail. It's built around larger acreage - most of its roughly 125 homesites sit on at least an acre - giving residents real space, privacy, and Hill Country views, along with charming touches like metal roofs, stone fireplaces, and private lighted pools with resort-style seating.
The community weaves in nature trails, mature oaks, and winding entrances, with future plans for a town-square feel featuring a general store, restaurant, chapel, and community gardens. It's zoned to the highly regarded Dripping Springs ISD (Walnut Springs Elementary, Dripping Springs Middle, Dripping Springs High), and residents are just minutes from local wineries, breweries, and dining, with downtown Austin about 26 miles away.
Market at a Glance
Set along the banks of Onion Creek just south of downtown Dripping Springs, Howard Ranch is where Hill Country living comes with room to spread out. Homes here sit on generous lots, often an acre or more, with Southern-inspired architecture, nature trails, and wineries and dining close by. It's a premium pocket of Driftwood, with recent sales running from about $1.1 million to $1.7 million and a 12-month median of roughly $1.16 million. Every address is zoned to Dripping Springs ISD, including Walnut Springs Elementary. Homes are selling in about 50 to 80 days, with very few listings failing to sell, so well-priced homes still move, though buyers at this price point have time to be selective.
