THE PROPERTY

Get to know the property.

Set at the end of a peaceful, private 1-mile road in a quiet cul-de-sac, 1426 Shelton Ranch offers an exceptional 5-acre retreat in highly sought-after Dripping Springs. This custom-built 2007 home sits on fully UNRESTRICTED land with no HOA, allowing the next owners complete freedom to enjoy or personalize the property.

The entire 5 acres are fully fenced, with a half-acre high-fenced area to keep deer out. The back fence abuts a vast private ranch of several hundred acres, delivering serene views and true privacy. Location is prime: just 4 miles from downtown Dripping Springs' wineries, breweries, and vibrant scene, and 1 mile from Dripping Springs Elementary.

A gated entrance leads to thoughtful luxury. The open kitchen boasts a limestone arch, built-in china cabinet, double oven, glass electric cooktop (replaced 2026), bar seating, and a large walk-in/through pantry with space for a second fridge. The mudroom has a built-in bench and cubbies; the oversized utility room includes plenty of cabinets and a sink. A dedicated office features built-in desks and shelving, while the Jack-and-Jill floor plan suits families or guests.

Walk-in closets with custom built-ins abound, and the master bath includes a doorless walk-in shower. Recent updates ensure move-in readiness: roof replaced August 2025 (Malarkey Class 4 shingles), exterior paint May 2025, well pump 2024 on the 600-foot well, and three HVAC zones.

Outdoor living excels with extra-large covered patios (front and back), limestone wood-burning fireplace, fire pit, and covered hot tub. A 1,000+ sq ft barn/workshop handles projects or storage, plus a 3-car garage and 10+ parking spaces.

This rare mix of Hill Country seclusion, custom features, school proximity, and unrestricted acreage awaits its next owners. Come experience why 1426 Shelton Ranch feels like home from the moment you arrive.

Percentages are editable examples, not ERA fee quotes. Management is applied to rent after vacancy; maintenance and capital reserves use scheduled rent. Add owner-paid utilities, mortgage insurance and other recurring expenses under other costs.

How this scenario is calculated

Annual operating income is rent after vacancy, management, maintenance, taxes, insurance, HOA and other operating costs, before financing and capital reserves. Cap rate divides annual operating income by purchase price. Estimated monthly cash flow assumes an all-cash purchase: rent after vacancy, management, maintenance, taxes, insurance, HOA, other operating costs and capital reserves. No mortgage payment is deducted. The mortgage calculator is separate; loan payments would reduce cash flow for a financed purchase. One-time acquisition costs, renovations, income taxes, depreciation and appreciation are excluded.

Mortgage payment calculator

Explore financing separately. These loan settings do not change the all-cash investor outlook.

Mortgage assumptions

Down payment (%) Interest rate (%) Loan term

20% down and 7% interest are illustrative starting values.

Estimated monthly principal & interest—Loan payment only. Excludes property taxes, homeowners/flood insurance, mortgage insurance and HOA dues.

About this payment estimate

Based on a fixed-rate, fully amortizing loan with monthly payments and the price, down payment, interest rate and term you select. The interest rate is an example, not a current rate offer or APR; APR includes certain loan costs. This is an illustration, not a Loan Estimate, approval, offer of credit or commitment to lend.

Your actual payment, rate and eligibility depend on your lender, credit, loan program and property. Closing costs, points, prepaid expenses and lender fees are not included. Taxes and insurance may change, and mortgage insurance may be required, particularly with a down payment below 20%. Ask your lender for a Loan Estimate and a complete monthly payment including applicable taxes, insurance and fees.

Dollar results are rounded to the nearest cent; calculations retain precision until display. A cash purchase has no loan payment but still has ownership costs. Understand your total home payment (CFPB).
