1012 Quail Ridge Dr, Dripping Springs, TX 78620

Nestled on 8.57 acres of Hill Country land, this custom home delivers seclusion and spectacular views — providing a sense of peace you feel the moment you arrive. A picturesque wet-weather creek runs through the lower portion, perfect for riding horses along the banks while deer visit the feeder. The property offers 5 total garage spaces, including a 2,250-sqft shop — ideal for the car enthusiast, hobbyist, or tradesperson — with 3 bays, full AC, and a bathroom, a fully functional workspace ready for year-round projects. Two RV hookups, one with full sewer, water, and electric, add flexibility for guests. Inside, the open plan features custom cabinetry, granite, and built-ins, with boxed beam and tray ceilings adding architectural character throughout. The kitchen is built for entertaining, with a pot filler, ice maker, two large pantries, and an oversized bar with distinctive circular counters that naturally draw people in. A custom fireplace warms the primary suite, with a sitting area that looks out over beautiful views. The ensuite bath includes a jetted tub, walk-in shower, and 2 separate closets. Two additional primary suites, each with a private bathroom, plus a dedicated office, provide flexibility for guests or multi-generational living. Across the back, a 966-square-foot enclosed porch —heated and cooled— offers year-round living space not calculated in the tax sqft. A freestanding indoor-outdoor fireplace anchors the room, alongside a 2nd kitchen and grill. Just beyond, a covered deck and hot tub take in the views, with plenty of room for a pool. A metal roof, 20K-gallon rainwater collection system, standby generator, and 430-foot well provide self-sufficient peace of mind. Most cedar has been cleared, and roughly one acre is fenced near the home. On private acreage with sweeping Hill Country views and the kind of privacy that's increasingly rare, this property offers the best of both worlds — peaceful country living, just 30 minutes from Downtown Austin.
