A secluded home between the hills
Henly is a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it type of town. Sparsely populated and with as many dirt roads as paved ones, this neighborhood's Texas Hill Country terrain is popular with campers and homeowners looking for rural living with lots of privacy. “There’s a couple of newer constructions, but it’s mostly multiple-acre ranches, some of which were built in the early 1900s,” says Ashley Tullis, a Realtor with Keller Williams Realty and proud native of the Hill Country. The long history of Henly is closely tied to that of its neighboring cities: Dripping Springs and Johnson City, where most folks head into town for everyday needs. But when they’re ready to retreat into the countryside, they’ll have plenty of room to relax. Adding to this area's appeal are outstanding schools and some local businesses that tend toward the distinct and boutique.
Large farmhouses with lot sizes to match
Homes across Henly come in a variety of sizes and price points, but what they all share is a sense of seclusion. Houses are situated off rural country roads, with long dirt paths for driveways that place them far behind dense growths of trees. Lots start at just under 10 acres and can have as much as 30, meaning homeowners get plenty of room to spread out and use the land as they see fit. Some build custom homes from scratch, while others opt for established builds that start at $400,000 for a modest four-bedroom ranch-style house. The median price for the area is $1.1 million and can climb as high as $3.4 million for a hillside getaway with a rustic farmhouse feel.

But there’s plenty for locals of the area too, especially at Pedernales Falls State Park. Just north of the neighborhood is a sprawling 5,212-acre nature preserve along the Pedernales River.

It’s located in a shopping center home to multiple other specialty services, retailers and local restaurants like Hill Country Ranch Pizzeria and Thunder Cloud Subs.
