# Equestrian homes for sale in Driftwood, TX. 

Are there equestrian homes for sale near Austin in Driftwood? Yes — and Driftwood is honestly one of the best places in the metro to keep horses without giving up an easy commute to town. Here is what to look for and where to start.

## Where the horse properties are

-   **La Ventana** — gated, on-site equestrian center, miles of private riding trails. The easiest "turnkey" entry for a serious equestrian buyer.
-   **Howard Ranch** — 10–20+ acres per homesite, allows private barns and arenas; quieter, more custom path.
-   **Rutherford West** — small-acreage Hill Country tracts (2–5 acres) where many owners keep 1–2 horses on private pasture.
-   **Unrestricted Driftwood acreage** off RR 150 and Elder Hill — true ranch tracts, well outside any HOA. Most flexibility, most infrastructure homework.

## What to look for on an inspection

-   Well production and water storage (separate livestock water capacity matters)
-   Septic sized for the actual home and any planned guest/barn apartment
-   Fencing condition and types (no-climb vs barbed vs pipe)
-   Cross-fencing for pasture rotation
-   Barn drainage, ventilation, electrical, and ag-exempt status
-   Easement and trail-system rights (where applicable)

## Pricing context

Plan on $900K–$1.6M for a livable home on 2–5 acres with basic horse setup, $1.6M–$3M for a turnkey equestrian property in La Ventana, and $2M+ for custom acreage in Howard Ranch with the barn already built to spec.
