Discover Hawkridge: A Gated Hill Country Retreat in Austin

What makes Hawkridge one of the most unique gated communities in the Austin Hill Country?

Hawkridge is a boutique, luxury neighborhood in Dripping Springs offering 1+ acre homesites, elegant architecture, and stunning views of the Texas Hill Country—all within easy reach of downtown Austin.

Welcome to 88 Acres of Hill Country Bliss

Perched just west of Austin, Hawkridge is an exclusive, gated community designed to preserve the natural beauty of its 88-acre landscape. From the moment you arrive, you’re welcomed by a carefully crafted entrance of weathered limestone, aged corten steel, and river rock—a fitting introduction to a community that blends architectural sophistication with environmental integrity.

Founded by custom builder and resident Kirby Walls, Hawkridge was envisioned as a quiet enclave where families can thrive in privacy and nature. Limited inventory ensures the community maintains its intimate, low-density feel. Every home sits on a generous 1+ acre lot, allowing space for sprawling backyards, outdoor living areas, and unspoiled Hill Country views.

Thoughtful Architecture & Timeless Design

At Hawkridge, homes aren’t just built—they’re curated. The community upholds high architectural standards to ensure every home contributes to the overall aesthetic. Clean lines, natural materials, and warm contemporary styles dominate, with plenty of room for personal expression within the design guidelines.

Whether you build custom or choose from existing inventory, you’ll be part of a neighborhood that values lasting beauty and a cohesive, elevated feel.

Location: The Best of Both Worlds

One of the biggest draws of Hawkridge is its rare combination of tranquility and access. You’re tucked into the rolling hills of Dripping Springs, but only minutes from:

  • Downtown Austin
  • Top-tier job centers and medical facilities
  • Local wineries, distilleries, and breweries
  • Belterra Village’s dining, shopping, and entertainment
  • The historic Mercer Street district

This balance makes Hawkridge perfect for those who want peace and privacy without sacrificing convenience.

Nature-First Living in the Heart of the Hill Country

The Texas Hill Country is beloved for its live oaks, wildflowers, rivers, and scenic drives—and Hawkridge puts it all in your backyard. Residents enjoy access to:

  • Nearby state parks for hiking, biking, and kayaking
  • Colorful springtime wildflower blooms
  • Star-filled night skies and wide-open landscapes

Hawkridge isn’t just about homes—it’s about lifestyle. The layout, lot sizes, and land preservation efforts all support a more intentional, slower-paced way of life.

Why Buyers Love Homes in Hawkridge

For homebuyers seeking something different from typical suburban subdivisions, Hawkridge checks every box:

  • Gated privacy with room to breathe
  • Luxury homes with architectural integrity
  • 1+ acre homesites for custom builds or move-in-ready options
  • Dripping Springs charm with an Austin zip code
  • Austin Hill Country views and natural surroundings

And with Phase 2 on the horizon, there are new opportunities to find your place in this remarkable community.

Final Takeaway: Hawkridge Is a Rare Opportunity

Whether you’re relocating to Austin or searching for a more refined lifestyle closer to nature, Hawkridge offers a one-of-a-kind setting. It’s not just a neighborhood—it’s a vision brought to life.
