About Hawk Ridge
Hawk Ridge (branded HawkRidge) is a gated custom-home community in southwest Austin, Texas (Hays County, 78737), encompassing 88 acres with 61 acreage homesites. The community was founded by Kirby Walls, a custom home builder and Dripping Springs resident who also operates Kirby Walls Custom Builders. The community is named after the hawks that fly above the ridgeline, and streets carry hawk-species names — Broadwing Cove, Zonetail Cove, and Kestrel Cove.
Each lot is a minimum of 1 acre, with individual lots ranging from approximately 1.03 to 4.69 acres. The community emphasizes custom luxury homes with Hill Country architecture on estate-sized lots amid towering mature live oaks, Hill Country cedar trees, a spring-fed pond, and panoramic Hill Country views. Lots start in the $600,000s, with completed custom homes priced from approximately $900,000 and up. The community maintains an approved builder list — confirmed builders include Kirby Walls Custom Builders and Weston Dean Custom Homes — and requires all construction to pass an Architectural Control Committee review. Protective building restrictions (CCRs) are in place to maintain the community's long-term character.
Hawk Ridge is located off Nutty Brown Road with access to US-290 West. The community is served by Dripping Springs Independent School District despite carrying an Austin mailing address. Development is in multiple phases, with Phase 1 complete and Phase 2 on the horizon. Utilities include city water at the street and on-site septic systems. Electricity is provided by Pedernales Electric Cooperative.
