Set on 1.2+ acres in the sought-after Sawyer Ranch area of Dripping Springs ISD, this custom Drees home offers over 5,000sf of well-designed living space which includes an outbuilding Sqft, just minutes from Southwest Austin.

Blending Hill Country charm with everyday functionality, the home features multiple living areas, a downstairs office that has functioned as a 5th bedroom, a dedicated game and media room, and a seamless flow between the kitchen, family room, and breakfast area. The kitchen has been thoughtfully updated with new countertops (2026), painted solid wood cabinetry (2026), and updated appliances (2021–2026).

Outside, the 1.2+ acre property provides space, privacy, and a true connection to the Hill Country setting, complete with a large deck and pergola for outdoor living.

A standout feature is the detached workshop/outbuilding with a finished upper-level loft, HVAC, and a full bathroom, along with a ground-level workspace. Additional outbuilding space is not included in the listed square footage.

At 1400 Tom Sawyer Road in Dripping Springs, this 4,035-square-foot Drees home sits on 1.238 acres in the gated Sawyer Ranch community, offering the rare combination of resort-style comfort and practical family living in Hays County. The property's open floor plan flows effortlessly from the kitchen with its 2026-updated granite countertops and solid wood cabinetry through the family room, breakfast area, and into multiple living spaces designed for both daily life and entertaining. Cathedral ceilings, recessed lighting, and thoughtful built-in features create an airy, refined atmosphere throughout.

The real distinction lies in how indoor and outdoor spaces connect. A large deck and pergola open directly from the main living areas, establishing the kind of transparent boundary between house and landscape that defines resort-living experiences. The 1.2-acre lot, bordered by mature trees exceeding 40 feet, provides genuine privacy while the automatic sprinkler system and professional landscaping eliminate the maintenance burden. From the front porch through the private yard, every outdoor zone invites relaxation without the noise or crowds of a resort.

The primary suite anchors the main floor with a renovated 2020 bathroom featuring double vanity and walk-in closet, functioning as a true owner's retreat. Four additional bedrooms and five full bathrooms accommodate family and guests. A dedicated game and media room provides flexible space for entertainment, while the study with wired data and sound systems supports both work and leisure.

What elevates this property beyond typical residential living: a detached workshop with finished upper-level loft, full bathroom, HVAC, and ground-level workspace. This outbuilding structure transforms 1400 Tom Sawyer into a complete lifestyle property, suitable for a home business, creative studio, or guest retreat. Strategic 2020-2026 updates to flooring, bathrooms, appliances, laundry, paint, and LED lighting mean move-in refinement without immediate project lists.

Located in the Dripping Springs ISD service area with proximity to Sycamore Springs Elementary, Middle, and Dripping Springs High School, the home balances Hill Country seclusion with suburban convenience. The corner cul-de-sac lot on Tom Sawyer Road positions you minutes from Dripping Springs' local commerce while maintaining the silence and space that defines the Dripping Springs neighborhood. At $297 per square foot on a 1.238-acre parcel in southwest Austin's most sought school district, this property delivers the permanence of vacation living with the equity and community anchors families actually need.
