The Driscoll Pasture at Ruby Ranch
The Driscoll Pasture of the Ruby Ranch is an expansive and private 476+- acre ranch, located between Buda and Driftwood, TX. This ranch is coming to market at the right time, with few large acreage ranches remaining in Hays County and ranch prices at an all-time high. The Driscoll at Ruby Ranch offers unmatched affordability and an unparalleled legacy, just minutes from Austin and Driftwood. In 2014 the Ruby’s elected to honor their family ranching heritage and protect the values of the ranch, by placing it in a conservation easement with the Hill Country Conservancy. The purpose of the conservation easement is to protect the health of the recharge features into the Barton Springs portion of the Edwards Aquifer, and in doing so the easement ensures the ranch will be enjoyed as open space for agriculture, wildlife and recreation into perpetuity.
The ranch is mostly high-fenced and bordered by nearly 650 acres of additional conservation lands, creating a large retreat for wildlife. Native wildlife is abundant, including white-tailed deer, Rio Grande turkey, numerous resident and migratory songbirds and game birds, falcons, small mammals, and the occasional Bob White quail. Habitat on the ranch is typical for this ecoregion with large live oaks, elms and mixed natives being the predominant tree species. Ashe juniper and mesquite are present on the ranch and are encouraged to be managed.
The family had foresight to hold 5 acres out of the easement near the NW corner off of Will Banks Dr. This is included in this sale as unrestricted acreage to allow the next owners to construct improvements or use as they desire. There is a second designated “residential building envelope” which is appropriately referred to as the Overlook. The Overlook is located on the western side of the ranch, with amazing views over the ranch toward the south and east.
Directions: The Driscoll Pasture is accessed at the end of Ruby Ranch Rd, Will Banks Dr, and Story Dr in the back of Ruby Ranch Estates. It is a short 11 mile drive to the Saltlick and downtown Driftwood, 30 minutes to ABIA, and 30 minutes to downtown Austin. The next owner should be proud to continue the legacy and stewardship of this historic hill country ranch. A copy of the Conservation Easement document will be made available to qualified buyers, along with the survey and complete property details.
