Overview
Property Description
Rare opportunity to own an authentic, true adobe home in the heart of Dripping Springs. Custom-built in 2002 using hand-made clay bricks, this 3.92-acre property offers a unique blend of Southwest artistry and Hill Country tranquility. Known for superior energy efficiency and fire resistance, the adobe construction features high thermal mass and sustainable materials. The 2,468 sq. ft. floor plan includes 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and a dedicated office, defined by Mexico Saltillo tile, arched doorways, and soaring, vaulted ceilings. Two wood-burning fireplaces provide warmth, while abundant windows showcase expansive Hill Country views. Outdoor living is highlighted by generous covered porches overlooking the private, natural landscape. This property is ideal for a small homestead, that allows two horses, donkeys, mules, cows, sheep, lamas or goats and up to 12 chickens with no more than one rooster. A standout feature is the oversized, detached 6-car garage equipped with electricity and plumbing, perfect for a workshop, artist studio, or extensive vehicle storage. Experience a one-of-a-kind retreat that combines rustic character with modern functionality.
