A Driftwood acreage community of custom and semi-custom homes on 1- to 2-acre lots, ringed by a permanent greenbelt and zoned to Dripping Springs ISD.
Rutherford West began building in 2008 and continues to grow, with most lots in the 1- to 2-acre range.
The community started as buyer-selected custom builds and now includes production homes from builders like Buffington Homes, while preserving an estate feel.
A permanent greenbelt wraps the neighborhood, and residents are minutes from RR 12, downtown Dripping Springs, and the Salt Lick.
