Six properties.

Tall grasses and late-summer flowers along a narrow path, with a tree line beyond.

Driftwood11 acres Meadow

Eleven acres of caliche and Ashe juniper above a dry draw, replanned as meadow and the live oaks that already held the ridge.

A low house beside a caliche court of limestone, agaves, and oaks.

Spicewood14 acres Limestone

Ridge court

Fourteen acres on a deer-pressed ridge. Limestone terraces, a gravel court, and a plant list the deer already walk past.

Read the ten years
Live oak limbs, moss along the bark, closing over a bright sky.

Wimberley6 acres Water

Six acres on a dry creek. The stock tank stays, the cedar elms stay, and the lawn does not.

Read the ten years
Looking up into a live oak canopy, branches and bright leaves.
