Before the Build: Inside Plans for a Hill Country Dream Home in La Ventana
If you’ve dreamed of building a customized home in the heart of the Texas Hill Country, this might be your moment. Nestled in the established and gated community of La Ventana in Driftwood, Texas, a brand-new Custom Classics by David Weekley Homes is on its way—and it's a rare opportunity you won't want to miss.
As a Build On Your Lot Consultant with David Weekley Homes, I’m thrilled to offer this exclusive preview of a home designed and to be built by our Custom Classics team—tailored to fit the lifestyle, landscape, and legacy of Central Texas.
Why La Ventana?
La Ventana is a unique gated enclave just outside of Austin, near Dripping Springs and Wimberley, offering a true Hill Country experience with luxury amenities. Known for its ranch-style charm, open skies, and wide lots, it’s a place where custom homes are built to stand the test of time.
What makes this home even more special? Most homes in La Ventana are older—this is rare new construction, thoughtfully designed from the ground up on nearly two acres.
What’s Coming
This home is currently in the pre-construction phase, which means you’re getting an inside look before it even hits the market. Here’s a preview of what’s planned:
3,666 square feet of beautifully designed living space
4 bedrooms + study and 4.5 bathrooms
A private guest suite (MIL) with separate entrance
Vaulted ceilings with stained beams
A gourmet kitchen and spacious living area with a statement fireplace
A spa-inspired owner’s retreat with a freestanding tub and super shower
Outdoor living with a fireplace
Oversized 3-car garage, metal roof, and rainwater collection system
It’s a home designed for elevated living—where indoors meets outdoors, and every finish has been chosen for both form and function.
Why Build in Central Texas?
Building in Central Texas means having access to:
Lakefront properties, ranchland, and small acreage lots
A vibrant mix of natural beauty and modern convenience
Communities with strong schools, local charm, and long-term value
Endless inspiration from the surrounding Hill Country
And when you build with David Weekley Homes, you’re backed by decades of quality, service, and customization—guided every step of the way by a dedicated consultant (hi, that's me!).
