If you’re seeking a serene retreat with room to breathe—just a short drive from Austin—Rancho Santa Fe in Liberty Hill, TX is a premier choice. As a real estate professional rooted in this region, I’m excited to share insights on this scenic neighborhood, where homes are thoughtful blends of modern craftsmanship and rural charm.
When the Homes Were Built And Who Built Them
Rancho Santa Fe’s homes were constructed between the mid-2010s and 2023, bringing contemporary design and quality construction to the rolling Texan hills. This intimate community of about 40–60 homesites showcases work from respected builders including Scott Felder Homes, David Weekley Homes, Coventry Homes, and Steve Klein Custom Homes—each bringing its own signature style.
Home Styles, Lot Sizes, And Floor Plans
The ranch-like landscape is punctuated by 1 to 2.5 acre lots, giving residents the freedom to customize both their indoor and outdoor living. Homes range from approximately 2,400 to over 4,200 sq ft, and most are single-story or one-and-a-half-story, with some two-story estate-style homes mixed in.
Take, for instance, Scott Felder’s Blanco plan—around 2,800 sq ft with 4 bedrooms, 3.5 baths, and a 3-car garage, currently listed in the high-$800s. These homes often feature expansive gourmet kitchens, soaring ceilings, and covered patios built for entertaining or peaceful mornings on the porch.
Local Amenities & Lifestyle
This isn’t a neighborhood with a shared pool or clubhouse—here, luxury lies in privacy, spacious backyards, and breathtaking hill country views. Many homeowners enhance their lots with pools, outdoor kitchens, woodsy patios, and lush landscaping.
Despite the tranquil ambiance, Rancho Santa Fe is well-connected: easy access to Highway 183/183A makes commuting to Austin, Georgetown, or San Antonio straightforward. For dining, coffee runs, groceries, or errands, downtown Liberty Hill and Georgetown are just minutes away. And for outdoor enthusiasts, the San Gabriel River, San Gabriel Park, and trails around Lake Georgetown offer endless weekend adventures.
Zoned Schools – Education You Can Trust
Rancho Santa Fe sits within Liberty Hill Independent School District, known for its solid academic performance and growing programs.
Most children attend:
- Louine Noble Elementary (PK–5), often rated about 7/10
- Santa Rita Middle School (6–8), also around 7/10
- Liberty Hill High School (9–12)—a UIL 5A school with strong academics and athletics ﹘ they recently won the 2025 Boys 5A Division II Soccer State Championship.
These boundaries reflect current zoning and are ideal for families looking for quality education close to home.
