At Caliterra in Dripping Springs, Drees Custom Homes is bringing its nearly century-long legacy of craftsmanship and personalization into a Hill Country setting where nature is part of daily life.
“Caliterra is about living at home with nature,” Drees market manager Ryan Pace said. “With 40% of the community as open green space, residents enjoy Hill Country living while being close to everything they need.”
Twenty-eight floor plans for every lifestyle
With 98 years as a family-owned builder, Drees has earned a reputation for quality construction, thoughtful architecture and flexibility that larger builders can’t match. In Caliterra, that approach translates into homes that adapt to diverse lifestyles and life stages.
Drees offers 28 floor plans across three lot sizes: 70-, 80- and 110-foot homesites. Homes range from 2,500 to 6,000 square feet, with prices starting in the mid-$700,000s and going up to $2 million.
The semi-custom process allows buyers to personalize layouts and finishes while benefiting from a master-planned community’s structure and consistency, creating opportunities for move-up and luxury buyers.

Thoughtful design inside and out
In every Drees home, quality is evident. Tall ceilings, premium materials, energy-efficient construction and selected appliances create elevated yet comfortable spaces. Even behind the walls, construction science and structural quality remain a priority.
“People notice the difference when they walk into a Drees home,” Pace said. “Everything—even the unseen aspects—is built at a premium level.”
Exterior designs are flexible. Buyers can choose from farmhouse, modern, traditional brick, stone or stucco styles, allowing each home to reflect personal taste while maintaining neighborhood cohesion.
Nature meets convenience
Caliterra was designed to preserve the hill country’s natural beauty while creating spaces for residents to connect and stay active. Nearly 40% of the community is dedicated to open green space, with miles of trails and access to Onion Creek for fishing and recreation.
Current and planned amenities include:
- Coffee shop and on-site restaurant
- Splash pads, playgrounds and resort-style pools
- More than seven miles of trails, expanding to over eight miles at full buildout
- Camp sites with fire pits and barbecue areas
- Fitness pool and fitness center
- Pickleball courts and expanded green space
- A second community entrance
The area’s dark-sky designation limits light pollution, preserving peaceful nights and clear star views—a rare benefit near a major metro area.

Now is the perfect time to buy
Drees recently launched aggressive financing incentives, making it an ideal time for prospective homeowners to explore Caliterra.
“Our fiscal year ends in March, so this is the perfect moment to end strong and help buyers find their dream home,” Pace said.
