3700 Elder Hill Rd, Driftwood, TX 78619

Now offered well below its recent appraisal and priced to sell quickly, this custom Tillson built home presents a rare opportunity in Driftwood for buyers seeking land, water, and long term value.

Set on 5.15 private acres with Gatlin Creek running directly through the property, the land is the highlight. With no HOA and direct creek frontage, the property offers space to garden, keep animals, explore, or simply enjoy the sound of water moving through your own acreage. The combination of usable land and natural water access is increasingly difficult to find at this price point.

The 2,513 square foot residence features 10 foot ceilings, 8 foot doors, reclaimed wood flooring, travertine tile, solid cabinetry, and granite countertops. The kitchen includes KitchenAid appliances, a commercial style cooktop, and upgraded vent hood, designed for everyday living and entertaining.

The primary suite offers a private wet bar with mini fridge, while bedrooms two and three share a Jack and Jill bath. Energy Star certified with Trane HVAC, dual water heaters, whole home surge protection, 340 amp electrical service, advanced air and water filtration, and Ethernet wiring throughout.

A detached guest house of approximately 625 square feet with half bath provides flexibility for guests, office, or studio use. Additional improvements include a large three section storage shed, fenced garden and chicken areas, dual well tanks, water features, and a conveyed geodesic dome offered as is.

Located minutes from Driftwood wineries and dining, including Salt Lick BBQ, with convenient access to Dripping Springs, Wimberley, and South Austin. This property delivers private acreage living with the benefit of proximity to daily amenities and major employment corridors.

The home appears in a mapped flood zone. The residence was elevated with engineered fill and sits above the floodplain. Buyers to verify flood designation and insurance requirements.

At 3700 Elder Hill Road in Driftwood, you're looking at five acres of actual usable land - the kind of space that's vanishing from the Austin metro area. Gatlin Creek runs directly through the property, creating both a natural boundary and a constant water feature that most buyers never find at this price point.

The main residence was built in 2016 by Tillson and sits elevated above the floodplain with engineered fill. Inside, the open floor plan centers on a kitchen designed for real use. The gas cooktop, KitchenAid appliances, and commercial-grade hood suggest someone who actually cooks. Granite and quartz counters run the perimeter, a large island anchors the space, and a walk-in pantry handles the practical side of feeding a family. Ten-foot ceilings and reclaimed wood flooring throughout give the home a sense of space without feeling sterile. The master suite includes a wet bar with a mini fridge - a detail that matters for entertaining or just weekend ease. Two additional bedrooms share a Jack and Jill bath, and a third full bath serves guests. All told, the home spans 3,338 square feet across four bedrooms and three full baths.

Beyond the main house, the property includes a detached 625-square-foot guest house with its own half bath. This isn't an afterthought - it functions as legitimate additional space for guests, a home office, or studio work. There's also a three-section storage shed, fenced areas for gardening or small animals, and water features that tie into the creek access. The electrical infrastructure includes 340 amp service and whole-home surge protection. Energy Star certification and Trane HVAC speak to long-term operating costs.

Driftwood schools fall under Hays Consolidated ISD, with Carpenter Hill Elementary rated 10/10 on GreatSchools and Eric Dahlstrom Middle at 8/10, feeding into Johnson High School. Salt Lick BBQ sits minutes away on Loop 1 toward Wimberley. Dripping Springs and South Austin are accessible without the traffic grind of central Austin commutes. The lack of HOA means you control decisions about your own five acres. At $237 per square foot for the main residence, the property is priced against comparable Driftwood homes - but the land beneath it is the actual value driver.
