A gated 240-acre Driftwood community of approximately 125 custom homes inspired by historic Texas farm and ranch architecture, located along Ranch Road 12.
Howard Ranch is a master-planned, gated community on roughly 240 acres along RR 12, about 1.5 miles south of Dripping Springs.
The community is built around historically inspired architecture — Queen Anne, Folk Victorian, Colonial, Craftsman, and Georgian-influenced farm and ranch homes.
Onsite features include Twisted X Brewery and large estate lots that preserve the Hill Country setting, with a 4-acre community lake planned as a future amenity.

Slower, historic, and intentional. Neighbors gather at Twisted X Brewery on-site, kids grow up on wide-open lots, and the architecture reads like a Texas farmhouse village. A rare option for buyers who want gated acreage with a real architectural point of view.
