In Dripping Springs, 3026 Pursley Rd sits in a part of Dripping Springs where the draw is space, privacy, and the ability to use the property now while planning what comes next.

This is a Farm - Single Family Residence with a 1940 two bedroom, one bath house, one fireplace, and the kind of straightforward layout that works as a primary home, weekend place, ranch headquarters, or future guest house. The house is priced at $2,133 per square foot, but that number only tells part of the story because the value here is tied to the acreage, the existing improvements, and the flexibility of the land. Nearly 50 acres gives you room for livestock, recreation, hunting, trails, equipment storage, and future building plans without feeling compressed by neighboring tracts.

Living here means daily life is defined by open ground, mature trees, and real separation from traffic and density, while still keeping Dripping Springs within reach. Pursley Road connects back toward Creek Road and Holder Lane, which puts US 290 and Ranch Road 12 into the regular rhythm of errands, school runs, and trips into town. Mercer Street in downtown Dripping Springs and Dripping Springs Ranch Park are part of the local orbit, along with the breweries, restaurants, and services that have made this stretch of western Hays County one of the strongest lifestyle markets outside Austin. Depending on route and traffic, the drive into central Dripping Springs is manageable, and downtown Austin remains realistic for planned trips rather than daily dependency.

For families focused on schools, the property is in Dripping Springs ISD, one of the biggest location drivers in this market. Zoned campuses are Walnut Springs, Dripping Springs Middle, and Dripping Springs High School, giving buyers clear school path continuity from elementary through graduation. That matters in Dripping Springs because school district quality continues to influence both demand and long-term resale behavior.

What stands out most is the mix of immediate usability and long-range upside. You can enjoy the land from day one, keep the existing home as a practical base, and still have room to shape a larger vision over time. In a corridor where westward growth keeps pushing values higher, acreage like this supports both a strong Hill Country lifestyle and durable long-term value.
