Custom homes in Medlin Creek Ranch
About forty estate lots off West Fitzhugh Road, ten minutes from downtown Dripping Springs and half an hour from downtown Austin, on two to twenty acres under mature oaks. Owners bring their own builder, the minimum is three thousand square feet with a three-car garage, and the neighborhood has become one of the top addresses in Hays County.
Equestrian estates on Fitzhugh Road, three thousand feet minimum.
Medlin Creek Ranch started as a mid-1990s custom neighborhood and has turned into luxury estate territory since about 2015. Lots run from just under two acres to more than twenty, most three to six. Sections along Redemption Avenue are gated; HOA dues vary by section from a few hundred dollars to about $1,400 a year.
The architectural guidelines call for at least 3,000 square feet and a three-car garage, and homeowners choose their own builders. Utilities are well and septic. Sales are mostly resale and spec at a high price point; new lots come up occasionally.
Dripping Springs ISD serves the neighborhood.
Building in Medlin Creek Ranch
The 3,000 square foot minimum puts our larger plans in play: Romans, Luke and Mark all clear it, and on three to six acres they have room to breathe. We design the site for the oaks and the horses if you keep them, and prepare the guideline submission before the contract price is final.
Water here is a Trinity well under drought curtailment, so we plan rainwater collection into the roof and site design from the beginning rather than adding a tank later.

The same process we use everywhere, with what's specific to Medlin Creek Ranch handled up front.
We walk the lot first.
Slope, trees, the view corridor, where the driveway can enter, where the utilities come in. We do this before drawing anything so the plan fits the land instead of getting squeezed onto it.
We run the review packet.
Elevations, materials, the site plan, septic where it applies. Where there's an architectural committee we prepare and submit it, and the final contract price waits until it's approved.
One person to call.
