What if home meant having space not just inside your walls but all around you?

At Hilltop Ranch in Leander, one-acre homesites give homeowners space to live comfortably without sacrificing proximity to daily conveniences.

In this community of spacious lots, Drees Custom Homes offers flexible, customizable designs that adapt to each family’s lifestyle.

Designed by Drees, built around you

Drees Custom Homes offers 15 floor plans at Hilltop Ranch, ranging from 2,700 to more than 5,400 square feet. Buyers can choose one- or two-story layouts with options for evolving lifestyles, from growing families to multigenerational households.

Available design options include:

  • Three to six bedrooms
  • Media and game rooms
  • Dedicated home offices
  • Independent living suites
  • Structural layout customization
Pricing starts in the $900,000s, with buyers able to customize finishes and floor plans.

Indoor comfort meets outdoor living

Hilltop Ranch homes blend classic Texas architecture with modern design. Stone, brick and stucco create strong curb appeal, giving each property a distinctive street look.

Inside, the layouts are open and inviting, with features that enhance comfort and everyday living:

  • High ceilings and open layouts
  • Spacious kitchens designed for gathering
  • Large primary suites
  • Thoughtful separation between living areas
Beyond standard features, personalization is central to every Drees Custom Home. Buyers often extend patios, add sliding glass doors or build backyard entertaining spaces. Inside, media rooms and independent living suites are popular, and kitchen upgrades—cabinets, appliances and lighting—tailor homes to each family’s lifestyle.

“Buyers aren’t just picking finishes; they’re shaping the layout around how they actually live,” Market Manager Jack Daneshvar said.

Built for efficiency and peace of mind

Behind the design flexibility is a structured building process focused on durability and performance. Drees homes undergo multiple inspections during construction and meet modern energy efficiency standards.

Features supporting long-term comfort include:

  • Quality insulation systems
  • Energy-efficient HVAC equipment
  • High-performance windows
  • Managed construction oversight
After closing, homeowners work with a dedicated warranty team, reinforcing Drees’ commitment beyond move-in day.

A community defined by space and convenience

Unlike many master-planned communities, Hilltop Ranch focuses less on shared amenities and more on private space value. Each one-acre homesite allows residents to create their own lifestyle amenities—from pools and gardens to workshops or outdoor entertainment areas.

Minutes from Highway 183A, the community offers easy access to Cedar Park and Leander shopping and dining, including H-E-B, Lakeline Mall, Whole Foods, Costco and the H-E-B Center. Students attend Leander ISD schools, making the neighborhood appealing for families seeking accessibility and privacy.

“It’s convenient without being crowded,” Daneshvar said. “You’re close to everything you need, but still feel removed from the busyness.”

A limited opportunity

With only 84 homesites and no future phases planned, Hilltop Ranch offers a limited opportunity for buyers. Drees currently owns 41 of those lots, meaning the selection will shrink as homes are sold.
