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.
