A Modern Hill Country Masterpiece at Creek Road Ranch

Tucked among centuries-old oaks and rolling hills, 488 Dario Drive is a rare blend of architectural artistry and relaxed Hill Country luxury. This 5-bedroom, 5-bath custom estate rests on 2.2 acres within the gated enclave of Creek Road Ranch, one of Dripping Springs’ most exclusive communities. Designed by Kai Geschke and built by Cody Schmidt Custom Homes, every element of this 4,178-square-foot residence reflects an uncompromising commitment to craftsmanship, light, and livability.

Expansive glass walls frame 360-degree views of preserved ranchland and distant ridgelines, while warm Douglas Fir beams, reclaimed hardwoods, and bespoke tilework create an organic balance between modern design and timeless Hill Country textures.

The heart of the home is a culinary showpiece kitchen featuring White Macaubas quartzite, dual Kohler farmhouse sinks, and a full suite of Thermador appliances centered around a 48-square-foot island built for gatherings. Flow effortlessly to the outdoor living pavilion, where a Coyote grill, Big Green Egg, and wood-fired pizza oven make entertaining effortless. Beyond, a custom pool with spa, sunken firepit, multiple lounging terraces, and a private putting green transform the landscape into a year-round retreat.

Inside, thoughtful luxuries include Lutron smart lighting, CAT6 wiring, a whole-home audio system, and LiftMaster MYQ smart garage bays. A flexible playroom addition, multiple living areas, and an owner’s suite with sweeping views ensure that every square foot serves both comfort and style.

Just minutes from Camp Lucy and Tillie’s Restaurant, and moments from the forthcoming Folklore Spa, this estate offers proximity to Dripping Springs’ most coveted destinations—yet feels worlds away.

Refined, serene, and truly one of a kind, 488 Dario Drive isn’t simply a home—it’s an invitation to live beautifully in the Texas Hill Country.
