    The Narrative

    La Ventana is a gated community on roughly 1,400 acres in southern Hays County, between Driftwood and Wimberley. The name means 'the window,' a nod to the wide Hill Country views that frame nearly every homesite.

    Estate lots typically run 2 to 14+ acres, with custom homes generally ranging from the mid-2000s to new construction. Architecture leans Texas Hill Country — limestone, standing-seam metal roofs, and deep porches.

    The amenity package is unusually deep for an acreage community: a junior-Olympic resort pool, fitness center, lighted tennis and pickleball courts, sand volleyball, a stocked fishing pond, and an on-site equestrian center with stables, arenas, and miles of riding and hiking trails.

    Zoning falls within Dripping Springs ISD, and the community sits within easy reach of the Highway 290 wine corridor, Wimberley Square, and Jacob's Well. Downtown Austin is approximately 30 to 35 miles northeast.
