Welcome Home,
A Place to Proudly Call Home
Home is so much more than a place. It's a feeling, a safe space, and a reflection of who we are. As we dive into this Home issue, I’m reminded of the incredible spaces we create, not just with bricks and mortar, but with our love, care, and stories. Welcome to an issue that celebrates what it means to truly be “at home”—in our spaces and in our community.
Home has been many places for our family. Fun fact that makes friends chuckle and acquaintances gasp: Over the last 12 years, we’ve purchased eight homes. Even typing that number makes me cringe a little. It wasn’t a path my husband and I planned; rather, it seemed to unfold on its own. We became somewhat unintentional house flippers, putting our touch on each home and selling it for a profit. Behind each move was a reason greater than our own understanding, which was the beautiful thing. The people and neighbors we have met along the way have shaped our lives today.
In 2020, we made the move from DFW to Dripping Springs, so house number six was a “coming home” for me as a native Austinite. And yes, if you’re doing the math, that means we’ve lived in Dripping Springs for fewer than five years and have purchased three homes—cue another cringe. But through all the moving and unpacking, one constant remains: Home isn’t about the walls or the address; it’s about being with the people you love.
This month’s issue dives into what makes our town—a place many are proud to call home—unique. Each story stands alone yet resonates collectively, showcasing a community that works in unity and lifts one another up. You’ll hear from custom home builders crafting dream spaces, professional service providers sharing invaluable tips, designers showcasing inspiring spaces, and business owners who have built thriving ventures right here in Dripping Springs.
As you turn these pages, I hope you’re reminded of what makes this town not just a place to live, but a true community. It’s about celebrating each other’s successes, building lives rooted in shared values, and finding joy in the connections we create. Here’s to the stories, the spaces, and the love that make Dripping Springs a place like no other.

AMBER JONES AND TERRI HAYS
Simplify Space Solutions
Hectic schedules, demanding commitments, and life’s unexpected curveballs can turn even a clean house into chaos. But simplifying and decluttering a space can bring peace to a home and to the hearts of those living there.
Five years ago, Amber Jones and Terri Hays were both considering career changes. Realizing their passion and talent for organizing home and office spaces could translate to a valuable service, their vision for transforming spaces—one closet, one pantry, one garage at a time—evolved into Simplify Space Solutions.
Helpful Tips for Organizing Your Space:
• Pull everything out of the area and sort similar items together. This is a great opportunity to eliminate and scale down. Sort into “keep,” “donate,” and “trash” categories.
• When adding bins or baskets to shelves or cabinets, always measure to maximize every inch of space.
• Labeling baskets and bins makes it easy to find and put items away in the correct place.
Simplify Space Solutions organizes Dripping Springs, Wimberley, and surrounding Austin areas, transforming closets, kitchens, bathrooms, playrooms, garages, and more. From decluttering and staging to packing and unpacking, the company also helps families prepare for estate sales or moves.
“We are driven by the satisfaction of watching a space come together and seeing the joy it brings to our clients,” say Jones and Hays. For a glimpse at their magic, check out before-and-after photos that showcase their incredible transformations: @simplify_space _solutions
Jones and Hays use their unique gifts to turn messy spaces of chaos into organized places of calm. “We aim to create clean, simplified, functional spaces that bring a deep breath of peace to your homes,” the women share.
Messes are inevitable, and homes will always have moments of disarray, but Simplify Space Solutions strives to put systems in place so homeowners can easily keep their areas organized long after Jones and Hays leave. “Creating systems means clean-up time is faster, less stressful, and more efficient,” they say.
“A clean, orderly home creates a soothing and aesthetically pleasing space and allows you to find what you’re looking for quickly and stressfree,” Jones and Hays continue. “A well-organized home refreshes the soul and frees up time and space for moments that matter most. It leads to joyful living!”
“A WELL-ORGANIZED
HOME
REFRESHES THE SOUL AND FREES UP TIME AND SPACE FOR MOMENTS THAT MATTER MOST. IT LEADS TO JOYFUL LIVING!”

is redefining what it means to build a home in Dripping Springs, with a focus on creating spaces as inspirational as they are functional. Alkire’s approach combines timeless design principles with modern trends, whether it’s incorporating architectural features that catch the eye, crafting light-filled rooms that uplift, or designing layouts tailored to each family’s unique lifestyle.

Alkire Construction Creates Dripping Springs Dream Homes
"Every home begins with a single, vital step: understanding the people who will live there."
Alkire and his team’s dedication to balancing aesthetics and functionality guarantees a home that not only reflects his clients’ needs but becomes a lasting legacy.
HOMES THAT REFLECT YOU
“Our first goal is to get to know our clients at their core,” Alkire shares. “What is the makeup of their family? How do they spend their time? What brings them joy or relaxation?” This commitment to understanding the unique needs and lifestyles of each homeowner is the foundation for every project. As a result, what feels timeless to one family might look entirely different for another. From modern farmhouse to mid-century modern and everything in between, Alkire Construction embraces diversity in design, ensuring that every home reflects its owners’ individuality.
DESIGNING AROUND AND RESPECTING THE LAND
Once Alkire and his team uncover their clients’ vision, they turn their focus to the property itself. “We analyze how to make the most of the land, whether it’s maximizing sunrise and sunset views, preserving trees, or working with the natural wildlife,” Alkire explains. This attention to the surrounding environment ensures each home feels like it belongs exactly where it stands.
WINDOWS AND TEXTURES THAT INSPIRE
Every detail matters. “Windows are one of our favorite design elements,” Alkire notes, “not just for the views they frame, but for the natural light they bring into a space.” From unconventional placements, like a window in a laundry room or closet, to transoms above doorways, Alkire Construction’s homes seamlessly balance functionality and beauty.
In addition to light, texture plays a significant role in Alkire’s designs. “We love incorporating layers—brick, concrete, wood, steel—to add depth and character to both the exterior and interior,” he says. These thoughtful touches create homes that feel warm, inviting, and timeless.
SPACES FOR EVERY LIFESTYLE
The heart of Alkire Construction lies in tailoring homes to fit their owners’ lifestyles. “One of our clients in the food and beverage industry needed a test kitchen,” Alkire recalls. “We called it ‘The Lab.’” Whether it’s a hidden speakeasy on a steep lot or a dog-wash station built into a laundry room, creativity is a cornerstone of Alkire’s work.
Outdoor spaces get the same level of care and personalization. “We’ve been designing multifunctional backyard pods lately,” Alkire says. These versatile structures—used as casitas, yoga studios, or pool houses—allow homeowners to expand their living spaces in innovative ways.
TIMELESS HOMES, BUILT FOR LIFE
At the end of the day, Alkire’s philosophy is simple: Timeless design combines efficiency, beauty, and connection to nature. Whether it’s through expansive windows, creative layouts, or thoughtful features for four-legged family members, Alkire Construction builds homes that inspire not just the homeowners, but everyone who steps through the door.

BUILDING TRUST AND COMMUNITY
ARTICLE BY MICAH WIENER | PHOTOGRAPHY BY ABIGAIL THOMSEN
Hunter Dolinger always knew his key to success would be helping others through hard work. Raised in Portland, Texas, a small town outside of Corpus Christi, he wanted to live in a friendly, tight-knit community like the one he grew up in. He chose Dripping Springs because he wanted to know and help his neighbors. His companies now provide the livelihood for dozens of local tradesmen and their families, helping countless clients—both in times of need and prosperity.
Dolinger cherishes his close relationships with neighbors and local clients. “You get to know the community in a way that’s impossible in a big city,” he says. With a team of 40, his companies combine industry expertise with a deep understanding of Central Texas’ unique needs.
A majority of Black Slate Roofing’s work involves insurance-related claims. Hunter understands that navigating insurance processes can be frustrating and confusing for homeowners, especially following a devastating event. “The average claim is 30 to 40 pages long, filled with foreign information for those who haven’t been through it before,” he notes.
Dolinger prides himself on educating clients, empowering them to understand their rights and the complexities of their claims and making what could be an overwhelming process much smoother. “We help assist with insurance claims from all providers. We work hand in hand throughout the process, ensuring our clients understand their options every step of the way,” he says.
He offers a wide range of services, from roofing systems to siding, windows, gutters, and even painting. This ability to manage projects from start to finish allows his team to maintain a high level of quality control. “We don’t leave a job unfinished. We show up and get it done,” Dolinger states. This commitment is crucial in times of crisis.
Such dedication is evident in feedback from his clients. “I called Hunter after my smoke alarm had water dripping from it,” shares a local real estate agent. “His team found the source, quickly repaired the roof, and even helped with drywall. It was a great experience with communication the whole way through.”
Started in 2012, Black Slate Construction Company works across the Austin area building projects from the ground up. “We do full construction service from the foundation to the roof and use all local trades, architects, engineers, and interior designers. We build local. Keep the money local,” Dolinger says. “It’s important to build in my own backyard. And since we use all the same tradesmen on all our job sites, we understand the intricacies of our area.” The company also holds a master electrician license and offers a wide range of electrical services.
Dolinger is also a real estate investor, and he understands the best ways to maximize a landowner’s return on investment with an eye toward resale. Outside of work, he enjoys fishing in Port O’Connor, Texas, where he finds peace on the water.

RANCH ROAD POOLS
BUILDING DREAMS, ONE BACKYARD AT A TIME
For local custom pool builder Jeremy Killebrew and his wife Jennifer, Dripping Springs isn’t just where they work—it’s home. With a family of six and roots firmly planted in the community, Killebrew’s story is one of family values, community pride, and exceptional craftsmanship.
ARTICLE BY KRISTEN HAFNER PHOTOGRAPHY BY KELLY POWER
“We’re raising four kids here in Bunker Ranch, so we’re deeply tied into the schools, sports teams, and community events,” Killebrew shares. His wife, owner of GLOW MedSpa, is equally involved, running her own business in the heart of town. “Our lives are all about Dripping Springs, and that connection shapes everything we do, including Ranch Road Pools.”
Killebrew’s journey to pool building is as unique as the pools he creates. Starting in commercial construction, he managed large-scale projects that honed his skills in design, management, and problem solving. “I fell in love with the
process of taking an idea and turning it into something tangible,” he shares.
After selling his previous business, Killebrew sought a career that would allow him to stay closer to home and be more involved with his family. He spent a few years learning the trade and partnering with some great pool builders in and around Hays County, and his passion for the new trade led him to create Ranch Road Pools. What sets Ranch Road Pools apart isn’t just its commitment to quality but also its efficiency. While many pool builders take months to complete a project, Killebrew’s team finishes most pools in just six to eight weeks.
“OUR LIVES ARE ALL ABOUT DRIPPING SPRINGS, AND THAT CONNECTION SHAPES EVERYTHING WE DO, INCLUDING RANCH ROAD POOLS.”
How do they do it? “It comes down to project management and preparedness,” Killebrew explains. “We anticipate issues before they happen, whether it’s unexpected rain, hidden underground utilities, or bedrock. That preparation lets us focus more on craftsmanship and less on solving problems.”
“We've got folks on our team that have spent their entire careers in commercial and industrial construction management,” Killebrew continues. “You can’t overstate the value of experience when it comes to managing the intricacies of custom pool construction for the whole life cycle of the project.”
By keeping projects local, Ranch Road Pools ensures consistency and accountability. “We’re not a big company serving multiple counties. We live here, we work here, and our clients are our neighbors,” Killebrew says. This personal touch means homeowners can count on a dedicated crew from start to finish, with no shared resources or waitlists.
Killebrew sees every backyard as a canvas for a family’s unique vision. “Some families want a place to entertain, while others want a quiet retreat for their kids. We design with their specific needs in mind,” he says.
Whether it’s creating a natural extension of the home or a destination-like escape, Ranch Road Pools combines thoughtful design with practical considerations. From ensuring proper drainage to navigating homeowners association rules, Killebrew’s team balances the art and science of pool building to create the perfect backyard sanctuary.
“The goal is to not just meet expectations but exceed them,” Killebrew states. “We want every family to feel proud of their space and excited to use it.”
For Killebrew, being a Dripping Springs local means his work comes with extra accountability. “Our clients are more than customers; they’re our neighbors, church members, and the parents of our kids’ friends,” he says. That’s why communication, transparency, and empathy are at the heart of everything they do.
At Ranch Road Pools, building a pool is more than a construction project. It’s about building relationships, creating spaces for memories, and enhancing the sense of home in Dripping Springs. With a focus on family, community, and exceptional craftsmanship, Killebrew and his team are transforming backyards, and lives, one pool at a time.

BRINGING NEW LIFE TO A DRIPPING SPRINGS KITCHEN: A LOVE LETTER TO THOUGHTFUL RENOVATION
Timeless Transformation
ARTICLE BY HEATHER BOGGESS | PHOTOGRAPHY BY KRISTEN HAFNER
We’ve all been there—scrolling through jaw-dropping before-and-after photos of major renovations, tempted to transform our own spaces into the latest Instagram-worthy masterpiece. But let’s face it, not every home (or budget) is built for an extreme makeover. And that’s okay.
Sometimes, the most magical transformations are those that honor the character of a space while breathing fresh life into it. Renovations don’t have to wield a wrecking ball to make an impact. There’s a certain charm, even poetry, in reviving what’s already there and allowing the original beauty to shine through.
This philosophy guided my recent project in Dripping Springs, where a Mediterranean-style home with exquisite architectural details begged for a kitchen update, one that respected its history while elevating its function and aesthetic.
CONTINUED >
BALANCING OLD AND NEW
When I first walked into the home, I was immediately struck by its intricate wood trim and craftsmanship. The natural warmth and elegance of these details couldn’t be ignored. It was clear that this renovation wasn’t about erasing the past; it was about enhancing it.
The journey began with the cabinetry. The original wood finish flowed seamlessly with the home’s trim, so instead of replacing it, we opted to refinish it with a satin stain, preserving its connection to the rest of the house. From there, we tackled the kitchen’s more dated elements, like the oversized travertine range hood and green granite countertops, which made the space feel dark and heavy rather than the light, airy chef’s kitchen the homeowner envisioned.
THE TRANSFORMATION
Our first design decision set the tone: Taj Mahal leathered quartzite countertops. Their soft, creamy texture not only modernized the space but also added a luxurious, yet understated, feel. To create visual continuity, we extended the quartzite up the walls as a backsplash, which immediately made the kitchen feel clean, cohesive, and elegant.
We squared off the island to emphasize clean lines and redesigned a custom dry bar with dual beverage refrigerators for a stylish, functional addition—perfect for entertaining. Mixed metals played a starring role in the design: We introduced brushed gold knobs and pulls for the cabinetry and selected oversized island pendants with clear glass shades to keep the space feeling light.
The pièce de résistance was the custom mixedmetal range hood, which became the stunning focal point of the space. Its steel construction introduced a subtle industrial edge, perfectly balanced by the softness and warmth of thoughtful details like brushed gold hardware and the quartzite’s rich, natural tones.
To complete the transformation, we refreshed the walls and ceiling with a brighter, creamier white, replacing the former beige tones. It’s proof that you should never underestimate the power of paint. This simple change brought the entire room to life, making it feel bright, airy, and entirely refreshed.
SUSTAINABILITY MEETS STYLE
One of the joys of this project was showing that updates don’t always need to be dramatic or cost prohibitive. By preserving elements like the cabinetry and wood trim, we embraced a more sustainable approach while respecting the home’s history. Whether it’s a bold centerpiece like a range hood or subtle details like glass pendants, every design choice worked together to create a space that’s as functional as it is beautiful.
A RENOVATION PHILOSOPHY
This kitchen reminds us that renovation isn’t about chasing trends or reinventing the wheel. It’s about honoring what makes a space unique and using thoughtful design to amplify its beauty. So, if your kitchen feels more “yesterday” than “today,” remember that you don’t need a wrecking ball to make it shine. Sometimes, a little love and a lot of intention are all you need.

it’s time to move on
ARTICLE BY BRAD TROTTER PHOTOGRAPHY BY ABIGAIL THOMSEN BTB Home Loans
There’s a saying in life that resonates deeply with me: “Burn the boats.” The phrase refers to a commander who leads his troops into battle and orders them to burn their boats upon arrival, leaving no option for retreat. They had to be all in, fully committed to moving forward. That philosophy is at the core of my life and my business, and it’s never felt more relevant than in today’s housing market.
For many people, 2020 to 2022 will go down in history as the “golden age of homebuying.” Mortgage rates hit record lows and buying a home wasn’t just practical; it was an amazing investment. If you bought or refinanced your home during that time, chances are you locked in one of those dream rates.
But fast-forward to today, and the world feels different. Mortgage rates have climbed and the decision to move has become less about investment potential and more about something deeper: quality of life.
The theme repeats itself every day in conversations with clients: People cling to that low interest rate like an anchor, even if their home no longer fits their family’s needs or lifestyle. They know they’ve outgrown their current home, but the thought of giving up their low rate is paralyzing.
Whether you’re considering a move, a refinance, or simply exploring your options, it starts with education—understanding the numbers, knowing what’s possible, and creating a plan that aligns with your priorities.
Here’s the thing: The ultra-low interest rates aren’t coming back. And that’s okay.
Homebuying has always been about more than interest rates. It’s about finding the place where your family will thrive. It’s about living in a home that feels right for this season of life, whether that means having more space for your growing family, moving closer to your kids’ school or activities, or simply finding a neighborhood that feels like home. For some, it might mean downsizing or relocating to a new city.
The low-rate era created an emotional attachment for many homeowners, but that attachment can come at a cost when you stay in a home that no longer serves you, limits your potential, or keeps your family from living the life you truly want. The real question is: Does your home serve your life? Does it support your family’s growth, happiness, and well-being? Or is it keeping you stuck?
Now is the time to shift your perspective and focus on what really matters. Yes, rates are higher than they were a few years ago. But buying or selling a home isn’t about chasing a number on paper; it’s about creating a foundation for your family’s future. If your current home no longer fits the bill, it might be time to make the decision to move on.
At BTB Home Loans, we’re here to help you navigate today’s market with clarity and purpose. Whether you’re considering a move, a refinance, or simply exploring your options, it starts with education—understanding the numbers, knowing what’s possible, and creating a plan that aligns with your priorities.
At the end of the day, your home is more than a mortgage rate—it’s where life happens. Making the bold decision to chase the life you’ve dreamed of isn’t easy, and sometimes you have to burn the boats to get there.
terrace CLUB
ARTICLE BY HUNTER CONNOR PHOTOGRAPHY BY ABIGAIL THOMSEN
The Terrace Club has stood as a beacon of joy and celebration in the heart of the Texas Hill Country for nearly a quarter of a century. As the very first wedding venue to open in an area that would later become known as the wedding capital of Texas, The Terrace Club has been the setting for countless "I do’s," shared laughter, and cherished memories.
In 1999, when I started working with my sister and brother-in-law, Amy and Donnie Garcia, on their vision for The Terrace Club, weddings were typically held in churches or country clubs. Creating a dedicated wedding venue in Dripping Springs was a leap of faith rooted in a desire to bring something truly special to the community.
In 2003, my husband, Pat, and I exchanged our own wedding vows right here. So in 2006, when we took over The Terrace Club, it wasn’t just a business decision—it was part of a deeply personal journey. Now, as we stand on the other side and help couples create their own unforgettable moments, it feels like life coming full circle.
Owning and operating The Terrace Club has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life, each wedding, celebration, and heartfelt moment shaping the legacy of The Terrace Club. Our mission has always been about more than just the big day—it’s about creating connections, supporting our local community, and honoring the families who’ve chosen to celebrate here.
From the couples who entrust us with their most important day to the vendors who work tirelessly to make every detail perfect, the Dripping Springs community has turned this venue into a home filled with love, laughter, and countless memories. This trust and partnership have been the heartbeat of The Terrace Club.
This year, as we celebrate 25 years of love and community at The Terrace Club, we do so with hearts full of gratitude. This milestone isn’t just ours—it belongs to every person who has walked through our doors and left a piece of their story behind.

Home-Cooked Connection

Pasta One Two Three Brings Families to the Dinner Table
My grandma always used food to bring our family together. Whether it was Christmas dinner or an ordinary Tuesday, she served up a delicious and thoughtful spread that pulled us all from our own worlds into one.
As everyone gathered around the table, filling our plates and conversing about our day, “Manga!” grandma would insist. Eat!
Living with my grandma brought me a lot of wisdom; however, it was the idea of togetherness in the home that really stuck with me. The love in the meal spilled into our home and seemed to make all of life’s worries disappear, just for a moment.
The heart of our home was at that kitchen table, and it prompted me to go to culinary school. I’ve now opened a business inspired entirely by her—down to the recipes we use. I clearly remember measuring all of my grandma’s pinches and handfuls so I could continue her legacy, and now here I am, doing just that.
Looking back at my journey, I now see that it was the love between my grandma and me that really drew me to cooking. We shared so many laughs while I learned the secret to delicious fall-apart meatballs, and we had serious, thoughtful talks while endlessly kneading dough for raviolis.
Whenever someone asks me to choose my favorite dish to cook, I always answer: whatever the person I am cooking for likes. That is because food is just a tool for me to provide joy to others, just like my grandma provided when we were growing up.
“Our
meals are quick and easy for anyone to make, leaving more energy to spend time with your loved ones.”
We all need connection, especially in our homes. Despite social media’s attempt to bring people together, it has actually pulled us away from that face-to-face interaction we truly crave. Becoming a wife (to Alexander) and parent (to Mila) has reminded me of the importance of those moments of togetherness.
Despite many of us seeking this connection in our home, it seems like there are not enough hours in the day. Sometimes a trip to the local fast food spot is all we have time for, and although a meal shared is a meal shared, the quality of food definitely impacts that experience.
I created Pasta One Two Three as a way to provide quality, nutritious meals for those looking to carry on the tradition
of eating and sharing together. We use whole wheat, Italian flour and local organic ingredients, and we leave out those nasty seed oils.
When you have a meal from Pasta One Two Three, the love that my grandma passed on to me, through the gift of food, is passed on to those who share it. Our meals are quick and easy for anyone to make, leaving more energy to spend time with your loved ones. I am beyond grateful that I get to be a part of so many people’s special moments at so many beautiful kitchen tables.

ARTICLE BY GLASS WELL SERVICE YOUR ESSENTIAL GUIDE TO WATER WELL LIVING
Many residents of Dripping Springs and its surrounding communities rely on a private domestic water well as their primary source of potable water. In 2019, the United States Geological Survey estimated that 15 percent (43 million) of the U.S. population relies on a residential well as their primary water source.
Whether you depend on a public water supply (PWS) or private well, if you live in Dripping Springs, there’s a good chance that the water supplied to your home is from a water well. In addition to a raw water contract with the Lower Colorado River Authority for surface water, the Dripping Springs Water Supply Corp. operates four PWS wells to supply water to residents.
So, what’s the difference if your water comes from a private well or PWS? The primary difference is treatment. A PWS distributor is required to treat the water they provide to make it safe to consume. This raises the question, “Is the water from my private well safe to drink?” Many times, the answer is yes. There are many solutions to treat a residential well to ensure the water is safe to consume and use throughout your home. Collecting a sample from the water well and testing it for known constituents that could impact water quality is the easy first step.
If your home is set up with treatment, consider a checklist for keeping track of routine maintenance to ensure your system is operating at peak performance. We get a lot of questions from customers experiencing a sudden loss of pressure in their water system. Most of the time, a loss in pressure is directly related to a blockage in the system; typically, that blockage occurs from a clogged or neglected filter. We recommend changing filters on a 30 to 45-day basis.
Most UV light systems require an annual bulb replacement and will notify the homeowner with audible and visual signals. Keep an eye on your system and how it performs, and adjust the schedule as needed. Are fixtures and appliances not lasting as they’re intended, or is there a heavy accumulation of hard minerals on the fixtures? It’s possible the softener was not set up or sized
correctly based on your well’s water quality, or the softener may have reached its life expectancy.
The other big questions we receive are related to aquifer levels. Many people are aware that these levels are currently lower than average, and this impacts all of us. Conservation is the number-one way to help preserve aquifer levels. There are many ways to conserve water, such as using efficient fixtures, reducing irrigation duration, and fixing leaking water systems and infrastructure. Many groundwater conservation district (GCD) websites, such as Hays Trinity GCD, provide information about the best ways to conserve water.
Water storage systems provide many benefits to the user and can significantly aid in drought and emergency situations. Most residential water well storage systems are designed with a 2,500-gallon storage tank reserve. If the homeowner experiences an unfortunate issue with their well pump or other component, the reserve can supply water to the home while the issue is resolved.
Water wells are a lifeline for many homes in our community, and proper care not only ensures your family has safe and dependable water but also contributes to preserving our shared aquifer resources for future generations.

WHERE GENERATIONS TAKE ROOT
ARTICLE BY MELISSA SVOBODA
Bumping over grasses, rocks, and rough dirt roads, our Polaris weaves through a maze of trees, down rocky slopes, and along cliff bases. Suddenly, a hidden gem emerges—a majestic grotto, its smooth stone walls sculpted by Mother Nature herself. Small ferns unfurl from its hollows, adding splashes of life to this raw Hill Country landscape.
My tour guides on this chilly, deceptively sunny day are Mike and Kim Clinard, founders and developers of Ranches at Dripping Springs, a premier luxury neighborhood unlike any other.
At a time when Drip is feeling the growing pains of rapid development and population surges, the Clinards are committed to preserving the area’s natural beauty and conserving precious reserves. “We have created a 389-acre, low-density luxury community with upscale ranch-style living that will never have more than 26 homesites, protecting this land from over-development and playing our part in protecting God’s creation,” says Kim.
This vision and promise to defend the unblemished stretch of the Hill Country dictates the Clinards’ mission for Ranches at Dripping Springs: Honor the land.
“Dedicating ourselves to honoring the land not only cultivates a sense of community but also promotes collective responsibility toward our environment,” says Mike. “This mindset encourages individuals to engage in sustainable practices, protect resources, and work together for the common good.”
The property’s 26 “ranchettes” each span approximately 15 acres and can never be subdivided, preserving the land from over-development forever. “When communities prioritize stewardship, they can create resilient ecosystems and foster a deeper connection to the land, ultimately leading to enhanced well-being and a shared identity,” states Mike.
The entryway to Ranches at Dripping Springs embodies the Clinards’ dedication to conservation and their commitment to detail. The gated entrance will feature planters and signage intended to rust naturally as well as native grass, wildflowers, vine-covered trellises, xeriscape, and rock beds designed with an aesthetic of organic beauty and authenticity. “We want the experience to be mostly untouched but with a trendy, high-end feeling,” says Mike.
In this Ranches at Dripping Springs experience, the neighborhood’s private entrance is a real-life gateway to the Hill Country. A beautifully paved road is lined by graceful custom fences. “The infrastructure of the neighborhood is what you’re ‘wowed’ with when you first drive in,” says Jan Moreland, of Moreland Properties, who is co-listing the Ranches at Dripping Springs project along with Ben Morton. “Then you keep moving through the neighborhood, and you realize how amazing the views are.”
Indeed, from Ranches at Dripping Springs’ vantage point, the Hill Country unfolds in a sweeping panorama, rolling over vast ranchland and rich foliage. “Views in Dripping are hard to come by,” she says. “Ranches at Dripping Springs has views for miles that are absolutely stunning.”
Similarly, the individual ranchettes reveal serene, sprawling scenery. “Along with the landscape, the views, and the different topography, each lot has a beautiful homesite area. Each lot is so unique and has so much beauty,” says Moreland.
A handful of these homesites are already under construction, including two exceptional custom homes by Keith Wing Custom Builders that will be completed and available for purchase this summer. Upon his first visit to Ranches at Dripping Springs, Keith Wing was captivated by the unique charm and potential of the development. “This ranchette community delivers a high-end lifestyle complemented by stunning views,” he shares. “It’s truly unparalleled in terms of value for this type of investment.”
The extraordinary neighborhood has been delicately carved from the untamed wilderness to maximize its native features with minimal disruption. “We want to leave it as natural as possible,” shares Mike. Each homesite is carefully chosen for its epic views and natural elements, revealing a treasure trove of stone formations, grottos, ponds, and mature trees like madrone, cypress, and various oak species.
Several lots within the community also boast acres of horse pastureland, a testament to the diligent restoration efforts of Ranches at Dripping Springs following a devastating fire that burned 400 acres a few years ago. The once-burned grassland has been rejuvenated, transforming the charred landscape into vibrant pastures, lush and green each spring.
The ranchettes at Ranches at Dripping Springs provide the charm of ranch living without the demands of managing a large operation. Their wide-open spaces beckon animal lovers to the rural homesteads, where they can keep horses, goats, llamas, donkeys—even a longhorn. Families can raise their children in nature, enjoying acres of wilderness wonderland and unlimited opportunities to play and explore. “They’re trading their iPads for climbing in trees,” Kim offers. And although the lots are expansive and private, the neighborhood nonetheless offers a sense of community and connection.
The thoughtful planning that makes Ranches at Dripping Springs a beautiful place to live also translates to its tangible efforts to honor and protect the land. In the face of recent droughts and dwindling water supplies, the community is an example of forward-thinking water conservation strategies. Each property owner will have a well to secure their water future and foster sustainability, and Ranches at Dripping Springs offers a $25,000 incentive at closing for building a rainwater collection system.
All property owners also take part in wildlife management practices, which primarily focus on protecting and supporting the bird population by providing bird feeders and nest boxes. Through this program, which also includes conducting a yearly bird census, each Ranches at Dripping Springs lot falls under the wildlife agriculture exemption, meaning they are nearly property-tax free (excluding the home and one acre around it).
Additionally, the neighborhood follows Dark Sky Community practices to avoid light pollution and limits animal grazing to prevent land degradation. “The way that Mike and Kim have encouraged conservation is just an added element and a plus for the community,” says Moreland.
This deep commitment to preserving natural green spaces is vital for Dripping Springs. “The balance between development and environmental stewardship is crucial for the future sustainability of the area,” Mike shares.
With thoughtful development, Ranches at Dripping Springs has created a community that prioritizes the health of the land, thereby protecting the environment and enhancing the lives of all who call it home. Built upon loved land and supporting a resilient, thriving future, the exquisite properties at Ranches at Dripping Springs will endure for generations, truly becoming forever homes.
Ranches at Dripping Springs is the latest exceptional project by Ranches At, the renowned developer behind the highly acclaimed Ranches at Sentinel Peak in Fischer, Ranches at Big Mountain near Horseshoe Bay, and Ranches at Canyon Crossing near Canyon Lake High School.
Livable Luxury for Every Story
Michelle Leonard's Journey from Military Moves to Beautiful Interiors
Michelle Leonard is a heartful, intentional, and talented interior designer, mom of two, and military wife. It’s her life’s calling to create spaces in your home you never want to leave.
Her love for design, art, and beauty began when she was a little girl growing up in Virginia. She constantly redesigned and organized her bedroom, swapping colors and rearranging. After graduating from college with her degree in education, Leonard met and married her husband, who has served in the Marine Corps for all of their 30-plus years of marriage.
Even as a teacher, Leonard naturally gravitated toward design, spending hours rearranging and designing her classrooms. Once her children were school-age, she went back to school herself to study interior design.
Leonard encourages other moms to chase their dreams. “You’re your children’s
role model. Let them see you taking a chance on yourself,” she says. “Your kids will be proud of you, what you accomplish, and your determination to always make it work. It may require going at a slower pace, but that’s a great excuse to involve your children in your passion.”
In the three decades her husband was in the military, Leonard and her family moved 23 times, from Rhode Island to California to Hawaii and everywhere in between. Even so, she took time to paint the walls and invest in the space of each home they lived in.
Dripping Springs has quickly become home for Leonard and her family. “I love the community feeling and close bond in Dripping,” she shares. “I feel like this is becoming increasingly rare to find in today’s world. Everyone feels like family. Dripping appreciates art, is friendly and welcoming.”
A
space that you love will inspire you to bring people in and create community.
WHAT IMPACT DOES YOUR SPACE HAVE ON YOUR FAMILY?
Recalling that military base housing can feel uninspiring, Leonard says, “I always wanted to create a space that feels like home for my kids and husband. When military families move, they have to leave everything they know behind, not knowing anyone or anything in a new location. I wanted my family to feel warm and safe, so I always took the time to design our new home, even if we were only living there for eight months.”
During times when we crave connection, a space that you love will also inspire you to bring people in and create community. “You spend the majority of your time in your home—you should be proud of it,” she explains.
While our busy, distracted culture can be overwhelming, your home can be a refuge. “A beautiful warm home can be a place to detox, calm your spirit, and soothe your body as you prepare for everything life throws at you,” Leonard says.
TIPS FOR YOUR SPACE
1. Paint the walls. “Painting your walls is an easy way to elevate any space. When you are choosing a color, stick to the first or second-lightest colors on the swatch,” she explains, as intense colors can overpower your space. 2. Work in threes. “As an interior designer, I tend to work in threes and odd numbers as I add design elements, mimicking nature.” 3. Utilize textures. “Use pillows to add warmth, color, and dimension. If you are working with smooth chrome, add something fuzzy. Varying contrasting textures is a subtle way to elevate your home.”
WHAT’S IT LIKE TO WORK WITH LEONARD?
For her home, Leonard is drawn to the warmer feeling of the beach, which she loves, and the mountains, her husband’s favorite. She enjoys helping her clients weave their story into the design. “It’s very important to incorporate your style, finding it together, and bringing it into your home,” she says. Leonard calls this “livable luxury”: beautiful, comfortable, warm, practical, and functional.
Your home reflects you as a person. “I love getting to know you, your persona, learning your story, seeing your current space, and creating themes and designs that are you ,” Leonard shares. “My favorite part is hearing your vision and creating beauty with fabrics, colors, and textures.”
Leonard offers full-service interior design, design days, do-it-yourself consultations, and more. It all starts with an inquiry where she’ll meet with you, research, create a plan for approval, order furniture, implement, and set up. She also does consultations for smaller projects and commercial design, including renovations and construction guidance.
Leonard brings a fresh eye so you can enjoy the process of creating a space you adore. She also has a gift for providing organization hacks to families, understanding the need for beautiful, clean, and functional organization.
Your home is likely your largest investment. Leonard asks, “Why would you not want to make it beautiful and love it?” Create and invest in a space you can’t wait to come home to.

INNOVATION MEETS
ARTISTRY
Kitchen design has entered a transformative era, where innovation meets artistry to create spaces that are not only functional but also personal and sustainable. With advancements in technology, materials and craftsmanship, today’s kitchens are tailored to meet the evolving needs and tastes of homeowners.
According to interior designer Laura McCroskey, kitchens today are about more than just cooking—they’re an expression of personal lifestyle.

ARTICLE BY ALLISON SWAN
“Kitchen design has entered an exciting time where the possibilities feel limitless,” says McCroskey. “For me, the design process starts before lines are ever drawn on a construction document. I believe in creating spaces that enhance life, both functionally and aesthetically. The design process begins with a discussion about what a space needs to do, and what aesthetic will bring a spark to the homeowner.
I also firmly believe that when designing a kitchen, one should walk out a recipe to make sure everything is in the right place to suit one’s lifestyle. Cooking zones are imperative to a well-designed kitchen.”
Modern kitchens emphasize zoning, or the creation of dedicated areas for preparation, cooking and storage, to enhance workflow and functionality. These zones not only improve efficiency but also contribute to a cohesive and visually appealing aesthetic.
Cutting-edge rendering software, utilizing technology similar to that used in gaming, allows homeowners to visualize their dream kitchens in hyper-realistic detail. While these tools inspire creativity, McCroskey advises balancing ambitious ideas with practical implementation to achieve the best results.
Technology, sustainability and customization are driving the revolution in kitchen design. Advanced appliances are at the forefront, enhancing convenience while aligning with a growing emphasis on eco-friendliness.
“From vacuum-sealing drawers that preserve food and reduce waste to smart appliances controlled by your phone, the emphasis is on efficiency and sustainability. Functional storage built seamlessly into marble countertops and oversized workstation sinks are making daily tasks easier and more enjoyable. Thoughtful features like composting compartments
THE HEART OF THE HOME
and advanced food preservation methods reflect a broader effort to minimize waste and reduce environmental impact.”
Custom cabinetry that maximizes every inch of space minimizes waste while optimizing functionality.
“Forget the limits of traditional cabinetry. Blind corners, tiny nooks and hidden areas are now designed to maximize storage. Automated drawers and pop-up outlets are becoming increasingly common, marrying convenience with sleek aesthetics.”
Design trends have also evolved, becoming more flexible to reflect individual tastes.
“While white kitchens remain timeless and black adds drama, bleached woods continue to be popular. Style trends are no longer as rigid—whether you prefer modern, transitional, or traditional designs, you can create a kitchen tailored to your unique vision. There’s no limit to what you can achieve with today’s tools and technologies. The goal is to create spaces that resonate deeply with the people who live in them.”
The kitchen is the heart of every home and represents a space of endless possibility. Whether your aesthetic leans modern, farmhouse or somewhere in between, the tools and technologies available today make it easier than ever to bring your vision to life.
