Set at the end of a peaceful, private 1-mile road in a quiet cul-de-sac, 1426 Shelton Ranch offers an exceptional 5-acre retreat in highly sought-after Dripping Springs. This custom-built 2007 home sits on fully UNRESTRICTED land with no HOA, allowing the next owners complete freedom to enjoy or personalize the property.
The entire 5 acres are fully fenced, with a half-acre high-fenced area to keep deer out. The back fence abuts a vast private ranch of several hundred acres, delivering serene views and true privacy. Location is prime: just 4 miles from downtown Dripping Springs' wineries, breweries, and vibrant scene, and 1 mile from Dripping Springs Elementary.
A gated entrance leads to thoughtful luxury. The open kitchen boasts a limestone arch, built-in china cabinet, double oven, glass electric cooktop (replaced 2026), bar seating, and a large walk-in/through pantry with space for a second fridge. The mudroom has a built-in bench and cubbies; the oversized utility room includes plenty of cabinets and a sink. A dedicated office features built-in desks and shelving, while the Jack-and-Jill floor plan suits families or guests.
Walk-in closets with custom built-ins abound, and the master bath includes a doorless walk-in shower. Recent updates ensure move-in readiness: roof replaced August 2025 (Malarkey Class 4 shingles), exterior paint May 2025, well pump 2024 on the 600-foot well, and three HVAC zones.
Outdoor living excels with extra-large covered patios (front and back), limestone wood-burning fireplace, fire pit, and covered hot tub. A 1,000+ sq ft barn/workshop handles projects or storage, plus a 3-car garage and 10+ parking spaces.
This rare mix of Hill Country seclusion, custom features, school proximity, and unrestricted acreage awaits its next owners. Come experience why 1426 Shelton Ranch feels like home from the moment you arrive.
