CONSERVATION EASEMENT
Liberty Ranch is protected by a conservation easement held by the City of Austin's Watershed Protection Department. Situated directly over the Edwards Aquifer recharge zone, the land plays a vital role in preserving water quality and quantity in the Barton Springs segment of the aquifer and the Little Bear Creek watershed.

The conservation easement ensures long-term protection of these critical natural resources.
Liberty Ranch is also part of a broader network of protected open space stretching from the Onion Creek Natural Area near Wimberley to Barton Springs in Central Austin. The City of Austin currently owns or holds conservation easements on approximately 16,000 acres within this corridor.
The easement includes thoughtful restrictions that preserve the land's rural character while still allowing for the development of a residential compound.

As you travel south from Austin along FM 1826, the pace slows, the Onion Creek Valley opens up, and the landscape gives way to rolling hills and sweeping views.
Despite the rapid growth in Austin and across Hays County, Driftwood has managed to retain its distinctive rural character. This is thanks in large part to the stewardship of longtime landowners, as well as the proactive efforts of the City of Austin and conservation organizations. Through a combination of public land acquisitions and conservation easements with private landowners, substantial portions of Driftwood have been protected from large-scale development--ensuring its enduring appeal.
