About This Home

A rare piece of the Texas Hill Country, where the land tells a story. Tucked away on 10.6 breathtaking acres in Dripping Springs, 1970 Martin Road is the kind of property that stays with you. Having been cherished and largely untouched by the market for decades, this private Hill Country retreat offers a remarkable blend of beauty, character and possibility. The topography is truly multidimensional, with elevated vistas that stretch across the landscape, rocky grottos and beautiful native cedars, live oaks, red oaks and Madrone trees woven throughout the property. From the higher points, watch the hawks effortlessly catch the thermals as they ride the Hill Country winds. It is quiet here. Peaceful. Private. And yet, you are still conveniently close to the heart of Dripping Springs. A rustic cabin with a wraparound deck takes advantage of the incredible views and offers a wonderful starting point for creating something uniquely your own. The property already has the essential improvements in place including a private water well, septic tank and electricity, while offering the freedom of no HOA and no deed restrictions. Located outside the Dripping Springs ETJ, this is an increasingly rare opportunity to own a substantial piece of Hill Country land where privacy, nature, views and possibility come together. Whether you envision a peaceful retreat, a homestead, or a place to build upon the existing character of the land, 1970 Martin Road invites you to slow down, look around and imagine what could be. Be sure to watch the video!
