About Belterra
Belterra is a large master-planned community in Hays County along the Hill Country corridor between Dripping Springs and southwest Austin. Located off Highway 290 West, the community spans hundreds of acres of rolling Hill Country terrain and offers a resort-style suburban lifestyle within the highly regarded Dripping Springs Independent School District.
Homes in Belterra range from approximately the $400,000s to over $800,000, built by a variety of regional and national builders including Taylor Morrison, Drees Custom Homes, and Highland Homes. Architectural styles emphasize Hill Country contemporary with stone and stucco exteriors, open floor plans, and covered outdoor living areas. Lot sizes and floor plans vary widely, accommodating first-time buyers through move-up buyers.
Belterra is served by Dripping Springs Independent School District (Dripping Springs ISD), a small, high-performing district known for strong academics, low student-to-teacher ratios, and a close-knit school community. Students attend Dripping Springs ISD schools culminating in Dripping Springs High School, which consistently earns top ratings for academic achievement and college readiness. The district's reputation is a primary driver of Belterra's residential appeal.
The community features a resort-style amenity center with pools, a splash pad, fitness center, playgrounds, sports courts, and miles of hike-and-bike trails winding through the Hill Country terrain. Dripping Springs' growing downtown is approximately 10 minutes west with restaurants, wineries, and the Mercer Street district. Downtown Austin is approximately 35-45 minutes east via Highway 290, with the Oak Hill commercial corridor providing closer retail and services.
Living in Belterra
Belterra offers Hill Country master-planned living in Dripping Springs ISD — a combination of resort-style amenities, rolling terrain, and a high-performing small-town school district that draws interest from across the Austin metro. Homes from the $400Ks to over $800K provide options at multiple price points, all within a community designed around outdoor living and recreation.
The commute to downtown Austin runs 35-45 minutes via Highway 290, a trade-off that buyers accept for the school district, the Hill Country setting, and the community amenities. Dripping Springs' growing commercial district adds restaurants, wineries, and services within 10 minutes, reducing reliance on Austin for daily needs.
The lifestyle at Belterra centers on the amenity center's pools and fitness facilities, the trail system through Hill Country terrain, and the social fabric of a community where neighbors connect at organized events, pool days, and school activities. The Dripping Springs corridor's growth has brought additional retail and dining without eroding the small-town character that attracted residents in the first place.
