251 VICTORIAN GABLE DRIVE, DRIFTWOOD, TX 78619

The moment you pull into the drive at this Howard Ranch estate, the rush of the day fades into the shade of mature oaks and the scent of blooming flowers. This custom-built home features 6 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms, offering a rare blend of Stuart Alkire craftsmanship and a sprawling .78-acre lot designed for a Hill Country lifestyle. The front porch leads into a layout that feels intentional at every turn. Off the foyer, the dedicated office, or 6th bedroom, provides a quiet space away from the main activity. Beyond the entry, the home opens into a living area where the scale of the room is matched by the warmth of built-in cabinetry. The kitchen is a standout feature for any cook! A huge quartz island with a high-end gas range, under-cabinet lighting, an apron sink, built-in coffee maker and floating shelves give the space a modern edge, while the butler's pantry keeps the main counters clear. At the back of the house, stackable sliding doors in the living room erase the boundary between the indoors and the entertainer's patio. Outside, the fireplace and built-in grilling area overlook a custom in-ground pool. The property continues into a grove of trees with a fire pit and a treehouse, and still leaves significant yard space for a garden or play area. The main-floor primary suite has a vaulted ceiling and a door to the patio, along with an ensuite bath that includes a standalone soaking tub, a walk-in shower, and custom closet. An oversized mud and laundry area handles the logistics of a busy household. Upstairs, the game room serves as a second living hub, surrounded by 4 guest bedrooms. 2 guest rooms have their own ensuite baths, while the other 2 share a Jack-and-Jill bath. This home is within walking distance of Twisted X Brewing and just a few minutes from downtown Dripping Springs. You also have quick access to Highway 290 for an easy commute to Downtown Austin or the airport, all while staying connected to the quiet, community-driven spirit of Howard Ranch.
