    The Narrative

    Rim Rock is one of Driftwood's most established acreage communities, located off Ranch Road 12 in Hays County. The development spans rolling Hill Country terrain anchored by limestone bluffs, mature oak motte, and views toward Onion Creek.

    Custom homes sit on 1 to 5+ acre estates, with the majority built from the mid-2000s onward. The community is zoned to Dripping Springs ISD — Walnut Springs Elementary, Dripping Springs Middle, and Dripping Springs High.

    Residents have access to a community pool, sport court, and a network of private hike-and-bike trails. The neighborhood culture skews outdoors, equestrian-friendly, and family-oriented, with a strong dark-sky ethic shared across Driftwood.

    Proximity to The Salt Lick BBQ, Driftwood Estate Winery, Duchman Family Winery, and the Highway 290 wine and distillery corridor makes Rim Rock a destination home as much as a daily one, while keeping downtown Austin within a roughly 30-mile drive.
