Property Description
Some homes are built. Others are crafted. Set on 13 private acres in a gated Hill Country community, 685 Hidden Creek is a one-of-a-kind Dripping Springs retreat where exceptional craftsmanship, thoughtful design, and natural beauty come together.
Built by a master carpenter, this distinctive home showcases rich mahogany trim and a striking mahogany staircase, soaring wood ceilings, exposed timber beams, and beautiful stained-glass accents. Dramatic architectural details and warm natural materials create an inviting balance of grand, open spaces and intimate, comfortable retreats.
Outside, the Hill Country landscape takes center stage. Rolling terrain, mature oaks, abundant wildlife, and sweeping panoramic views create a peaceful, private setting. Relax beside the koi pond, unwind beneath the timber pergola, or enjoy spectacular sunsets from the elevated observation deck. At night, wide-open skies offer brilliant stargazing.
Designed with sustainability in mind, the property features solar panels, 38,000 gallons of rainwater collection capacity across two cisterns, spray foam insulation, high-efficiency windows, a new tankless water heater, a 1-year-old metal roof, and a 2-year-old HVAC system.
A detached 3-car garage and workshop provides flexibility for vehicles, hobbies, or creative pursuits. The acreage is currently ag-exempt, offering tax advantages and room to roam, garden, or simply enjoy the privacy.
Approximately 15 minutes from Dripping Springs amenities, this distinctive estate offers an exceptional full-time residence, weekend retreat, or potential short-term rental, subject to applicable restrictions.
Private. Artfully crafted. Full of possibility.
