The final developer lot available in Bluff Springs Estates, a small acreage-lot community in Driftwood, offering only 12 homesites. With 4 homes already complete, and 2 more under construction, this is a rare chance to secure one of the last untouched tracts in the neighborhood. The developers have recently completed selective clearing on this homesite, revealing groves of post oaks and live oaks, while preserving the native character. Additionally, a wet-weather creek runs through the eastern portion of the property, feeding into South Gatlin Creek and often holding water, even during periods of extreme drought.

Bluff Springs Estates combines the privacy and building flexibility of estate-sized acreage with a sense of community in a neighborhood setting. Located in the highly-rated Dripping Springs school district, this subdivision offers sensible restrictions without an HOA, new home construction on acreage homesites, direct access and a setting that balances convenience with natural Hill Country character.

Topography, Rangeland & Habitat

Ranging from 1,120 to 1,160 feet in elevation, this homesite offers gentle, usable terrain with a mix of open pastures and wooded creek bottoms. Towering sycamores, post oaks, pecans, and groves of live oaks provide shade and character, while intentionally preserved cedar along the fence line adds privacy.

A seasonal wet-weather creek traverses the tract, featuring a limestone bottom, and multiple seeps and springs, that feed into South Gatlin Creek at the northern property boundary. This tract also includes a roughed-in driveway with culvert and a low-water crossing at the seasonal creek. To the west lies a 5,500+ acre conserved property, while to the east a 60-75 foot bluff studded with mature trees protects your private bottomland views.

Wildlife

Previously used for cattle ranching and largely untouched for decades, Bluff Springs Estates supports abundant native wildlife. The wet-weather creek provides habitat and connectivity to larger water systems, while the subdivision as a whole benefits from South Gatlin Creek and nearby private ponds. Recently, a community-wide bird census identified 32 different bird species seen on site.
