New homes from six Texas builders on a ranch that has been here since 1898, with a Dripping Springs ISD elementary school inside the community.
Double L Ranch is a new master-planned community in Dripping Springs built on a 1,677-acre property whose ranching history goes back to an 1898 cattle ranch, and it was later a gathering spot tied to Texans like Willie Nelson and Ann Richards. The developer is Trend Development.
For most families moving here from Austin, this is the most approachable of the big new communities on this list. It is a production home community with real amenities and a school inside the gates, not an acreage build.
Dripping Springs Elementary is located onsite within Double L Ranch, and the district runs a student-teacher ratio of roughly 16 to 1.
If you have young kids and you are moving from a part of Austin where the school run eats forty minutes of your day, that single detail is worth more than most of the amenity list. Walk-to-school in Dripping Springs is rare.
Double L Ranch has partnered with six Texas homebuilders, including Coventry Homes, Highland Homes, Scott Felder Homes, Westin Homes, and Drees. That range of builders means a real spread of floor plans and price points inside one community, which is useful if you are trying to stay in a specific budget without leaving the neighborhood you want.
Planned amenities include a resort-style pool, an outdoor amphitheater, a full-service amenity center, a fitness center, trails, a park, and a playground.
Community type: Production new construction, master-planned.
Best fit: Young families relocating from Austin who want new construction, amenities, and a short school commute.
Timing: Homes are releasing in phases. Early phases usually price below later ones.
Comparing Double L Ranch against Caliterra, Headwaters, or Big Sky Ranch? That is exactly the conversation I have with most of my buyers. Send me your shortlist and I will tell you what actually separates them.
Register me as your agent before your first visit to the sales office. It does not raise your price; the builder has already accounted for it, and it means you have someone reading your build contract, tracking your incentives, and negotiating your options list on your side of the table.
