About Arrowhead Ranch
Arrowhead Ranch is a 362-acre master-planned community in western Dripping Springs, positioned approximately 25 miles from downtown Austin along the scenic Hill Country corridor. The development began construction in 2016 and completed its main phases by 2023, resulting in a thoughtfully planned residential community that integrates modern home designs with the natural landscape. The neighborhood was primarily constructed by M/I Homes, a builder with a strong track record in Hill Country developments, resulting in consistent quality standards across the community.
The homes in Arrowhead Ranch range from 2,242 to 4,634 square feet in size, with multiple floor plan options. Most of the 362 acres remains in a natural, undeveloped state, with the preserved land managed as scenic open space and nature trails accessible to residents. An amenity center is currently in development to provide community gathering spaces and recreational facilities. This approach allows the community to maintain the Hill Country character and environmental integrity while still offering modern conveniences and infrastructure. The mix of developed and preserved acreage creates distinct neighborhoods within the larger community, with varying densities and lot configurations.
Location advantages include proximity to several major regional attractions and outdoor recreation areas. Hamilton Pool Preserve, located approximately 12 miles away, offers natural swimming and day-use recreational opportunities. Pedernales Falls State Park is approximately 15 miles south and provides hiking trails, fishing areas, and camping facilities. Blue Hole, another popular swimming location, is roughly 8 miles away. The community is served by Dripping Springs Independent School District, with Dripping Springs Elementary School, Dripping Springs Middle School, and Dripping Springs High School all located within approximately 2 miles of the neighborhood.

Highway 290 provides direct corridor access to Austin's central areas and employment centers, though the community's elevation and setting create a distinct environment from more developed Austin suburbs.
