Driftwood is small, but it is not one thing. It is a handful of distinct communities scattered along RR 12, RR 150, and Elder Hill Road — each with its own personality, lot sizes, HOA culture, and pricing. Here is how I describe them to clients who are flying in for a weekend of showings. ## Rim Rock Anchor Golf-backing acreage estates, 1–5+ acres, gated entries. [Full Rim Rock Guide →](/communities/rim-rock) ## La Ventana Anchor Gated equestrian community with on-site horse facility, trails, and panoramic west-facing views. [Full La Ventana Guide →](/communities/la-ventana) ## Howard Ranch Anchor Legacy ranch homesites on 10–20+ acres, custom builds, deep privacy. [Full Howard Ranch Guide →](/communities/howard-ranch) ## Driftwood Golf & Ranch Club Anchor Driftwood's marquee golf address along Darden Hill Road. Coore & Crenshaw-caliber course frontage, luxury custom builds on half-acre to multi-acre homesites, and a club membership culture that drives resale demand. Expect the highest price-per-square-foot in 78619 and the shortest days on market when a course-front home lists. [Ask about Driftwood Golf & Ranch Club inventory →](/contact) ## Sierra West Secondary A quiet ridge-side pocket off RR 12 with one- to three-acre lots, mature oak cover, and long western views toward the Wimberley Valley. Homes here are largely custom builds from the 2000s onward, HOA rules are light, and buyers get true acreage privacy without the price premium of the gated golf communities. Well and septic are common — plan for a water quality review during option period. [Ask about Sierra West inventory →](/contact) ## Rutherford West Secondary Small-acreage Hill Country living minutes from downtown Driftwood, with custom homes on roughly two- to five-acre lots along Elder Hill Road. Lots are wooded and gently rolling, architectural guidelines keep the streetscape consistent without being restrictive, and horses are permitted on most parcels. It is the practical middle ground for buyers who want land and Dripping Springs ISD schools but do not need a gate or a golf membership. Most homes trade in the mid-to-upper price band for 78619, and inventory is thin — usually only a handful of resales a year. [Ask about Rutherford West inventory →](/contact) ## Onion Creek Ranch Secondary Creek-influenced acreage tracts on the eastern edge of Driftwood, closest of the Driftwood pockets to Buda and the I-35 corridor. Larger tracts, older custom homes, and genuine rural feel — a favorite for buyers who commute toward south Austin but want land. [Ask about Onion Creek Ranch inventory →](/contact) ## Medlin Creek Ranch Secondary A compact enclave of custom homes on multi-acre tracts near RR 150, known for heavy tree cover, dark night skies, and low turnover. Owners tend to stay for decades, so listings are rare and typically sell to buyers already watching the neighborhood. [Ask about Medlin Creek Ranch inventory →](/contact) ## Sawyer Ranch Secondary Positioned between Driftwood and Dripping Springs along Sawyer Ranch Road, this pocket offers the shortest drive to the Highway 290 retail corridor while keeping acreage lot sizes. Good fit for families who want Dripping Springs ISD schools and a five-minute run to groceries. [Ask about Sawyer Ranch inventory →](/contact) Map ## Where the Driftwood communities sit.
