Welcome to El Ranchito - 5.78 acres in the heart of Driftwood’s famed wine and culinary corridor, a one-of-a-kind opportunity to reside on a piece of Texas Hill Country history - both in land and architecture.

Welcome to El Ranchito - 5.78 acres in the heart of Driftwood’s famed wine and culinary corridor, a one-of-a-kind opportunity to reside on a piece of Texas Hill Country history - both in land and architecture. Designed by award-winning Santa Fe architect Mike Fischer, this fully furnished adobe-style home is a testament to artistry and sustainability. Built into the hillside for energy-efficient thermal mass construction, the home is a sanctuary of Southwest detail: Latilla ceilings made from wood harvested on-site, hand-crafted Saltillo tile floors, antique doors, skylights and stained-glass windows, and three traditional kiva fireplaces. Recent updates include double-paned insulated windows and a comprehensive water system: a reliable well paired with 12,500 gallons of rainwater cistern storage to support long-term sustainability. The property itself is steeped in heritage—part of the historic William B. Travis League of Land—and thoughtfully stewarded through a certified Permaculture Master Plan. The ag-exempt status has been maintained since 2012 through active beekeeping and honey production, with restored savannah pastureland blending native grasslands and woodlands. Additional features include a barn, meditation trails, corrals, a playhouse, garden spaces, and a restored vintage 1967 monitor trailer with restroom and heated tub. Just across from Vista Brewing and neighboring Duchman Family Winery, Trattoria Lisina, and Salt Lick BBQ, this is true country living with city access: 30 minutes to Austin, and under an hour to Fredericksburg.
