Community overview
Double L Ranch is the largest new-construction development in Dripping Springs: roughly 1,600 to 1,677 acres near Ranch Road 12, planned for more than 2,200 homes. It is the single biggest driver behind the 8,000+ newly permitted lots in the city and its extraterritorial jurisdiction, and it will shape local pricing for the next decade.
The plan is unusually land-generous for its size, with more than 500 acres set aside as parkland and an elementary school site inside the community. That combination — scale plus preserved open space plus a school on site — is what separates it from a conventional subdivision.
One item to underwrite before you buy: Double L Ranch sits in a MUD (municipal utility district), so expect an additional MUD tax on top of the base property tax rate. That can add meaningfully to your monthly payment. Ask us for the current rate and how it steps down over time before you commit to a lot.
Because build-out runs across many phases, early buyers get the best base pricing and the strongest incentives, but they also live alongside active construction for longer and wait on the full amenity package. If you plan to stay seven-plus years the math usually works; if you expect to resell in three, phase and lot selection matter a great deal.
