Placed at the end of a peaceful, private 1-mile road in a quiet cul-de-sac, 1426 Shelton Ranch offers an exceptional five-acre retreat in the heart of highly sought-after Dripping Springs. This custom-built home, completed in 2007, sits on fully unrestricted land with no homeowners association, giving the next owners complete freedom to enjoy, expand, or personalize the property as they wish.

The entire five acres are securely fenced, including a dedicated half-acre high-fenced area perfect for keeping deer away from gardens or pets. The back fence borders a sprawling private ranch of several hundred acres, ensuring serene, protected views and true seclusion. Yet the location remains incredibly convenient—just four miles from charming downtown Dripping Springs with its wineries, breweries, and vibrant community, and only one mile from Dripping Springs Elementary.

A gated entrance welcomes you to the property, where thoughtful design meets everyday luxury. The open kitchen features a striking limestone arch, built-in china cabinet for extra storage, double oven, glass electric cooktop (replaced 2026), bar seating, and a spacious walk-in/through pantry with room for a second refrigerator. Adjacent, the large mudroom includes a built-in bench and cubbies, while the oversized utility room offers abundant built-in cabinets and a sink. The dedicated office provides built-in desks and shelving, and the Jack-and-Jill floor plan works beautifully for families or guests.

Outside, the lifestyle expands dramatically. Extra-large covered patios grace both the front and back, complemented by a limestone wood-burning fireplace, a dedicated fire pit, and a covered hot tub area. A substantial 1,000+ square foot barn/workshop provides ample space for projects, storage, or hobbies, while the three-car garage and more than 10 additional parking spaces handle vehicles, equipment, or gatherings with ease.

This rare blend of Hill Country privacy, modern custom features, proximity to top schools and downtown Dripping Springs, and unrestricted acreage is ready for its next chapter. Come see why 1426 Shelton Ranch feels like home the moment you arrive.
