Price Reduction, 10% below Appraised Value done in February 2026. A rare 11.55-acre homestead-ready ranch property in Driftwood, thoughtfully platted into two separate tracts for flexibility, family compounds, or future resale. Positioned at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, this land backs up to and overlooks a historic longtime Driftwood Ranch, offering wide-open views, privacy, and a peaceful agricultural setting. The property features numerous healthy mature oak trees providing natural shade and shelter for livestock. There is abundant wildlife throughout the property. With multiple elevated homesites ideal for building a farmhouse, barndominium, or ranch-style residence. Improvements already in place make this a true head start for a working homestead or small ranch: a livestock corral with lean-to for shade and protection, a shed with storage and tack room, an existing water well, electric service on-site and septic system is present, providing additional infrastructure value. This land is well-suited for cattle, goats, horses, chickens, gardening, or a self-sustaining homestead lifestyle, with room for barns, greenhouses, orchards, and fenced pastures. Whether you’re looking to build a multigenerational ranch or create a private country retreat, this property offers the space, natural resources, and privacy to bring your vision to life. Just minutes from Driftwood and Wimberley conveniences with numerous restaurants and vineyards, yet fully immersed in Hill Country ranch living.

This 11.5-acre homestead at 101 Purple Sage in Driftwood subdivision represents the rare opportunity to own a fully operational ranch property with infrastructure already in place for complete independence. The two-tract configuration provides immediate flexibility for a working family compound or future development, while the location at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac backs directly onto historic Driftwood ranchland, guaranteeing unobstructed views and agricultural privacy that won't be developed away.

The property's systems for self-sufficiency are already operational. An existing water well supplies the land independent of municipal systems. Electric service runs to the site. The older septic system handles waste management without connection to town infrastructure. These aren't theoretical improvements - they're functional elements ready to support expanded habitation. The livestock corral with lean-to shade structure, working shed with tack room, and cleared building sites mean you're not starting from raw land. You're inheriting a system already designed for ranch operations.

The natural advantages make daily agricultural work feasible. Mature oak trees provide natural shade across the property, essential for livestock welfare during Hill Country summers. The land naturally supports cattle, goats, horses, and chickens without requiring extensive habitat modification. Abundant wildlife presence indicates the ecological health of the land - native species populations signal soil quality and water availability that benefit both livestock and gardens. The topography offers multiple elevated homesites suitable for a main residence, guest cottage, or barndominium positioned to capture views while maintaining working ranch space below.

The location balances isolation with convenience. Driftwood sits minutes from Wimberley's restaurants and retail along Ranch Road 1623, and Driftwood's growing commercial core, yet far enough out that the property maintains the genuine Hill Country ranch character that draws people to this area. Students attend Carpenter Hill Elementary (GreatSchools 10/10), Eric Dahlstrom Middle, and Johnson High School within Hays CISD, all serving the growing Driftwood and Wimberley communities.

At $843,150 for 11.5 acres of fully improved, operational ranchland, this property bridges the gap between genuine agricultural capability and residential comfort - a vanishingly rare combination in the Austin hill country. This is land built for people who actually use it.
