Property Description
Historic Adobe Retreat on 5.78 Acres in the Heart of Driftwood
Discover a truly unique slice of Texas Hill Country living on this 5.78-acre ag-exempt estate, tucked along Driftwood's renowned wine and culinary corridor. Rich in character, natural beauty, and sustainable design, this property offers a rare opportunity to embrace heritage and harmony with the land.
The adobe-style residence, built into a gentle hillside for optimal energy efficiency, showcases a warm blend of Southwest artistry and thoughtful construction. Latilla ceilings crafted from on-site wood, hand-laid Saltillo tile floors, antique doors, skylights, stained glass, and three traditional kiva fireplaces give the home timeless charm and soulful detail. Recent upgrades include insulated double-pane windows and a dual water system featuring a deep well and 12,500 gallons of rainwater storage for long-term self-sufficiency.
Rooted in Texas history, the land is part of the original William B. Travis League of Land and has been cultivated under a certified Permaculture Master Plan. An agricultural exemption has been in place since 2012, maintained through active beekeeping and honey production. Restored savannah pastureland blends native grasses with mature woodland for a tranquil, biodiverse setting.
Additional features include a barn, corrals, garden beds, meditation trails, playhouse, and a restored 1967 monitor trailer complete with restroom and heated soaking tub—ideal for guests or creative use.
Set across from Vista Brewing and surrounded by renowned wineries and eateries, this property offers the serenity of the countryside with easy access to urban conveniences—just 30 minutes to Austin and under an hour to Fredericksburg.
