Why Families Keep Choosing Santa Rita Ranch
Resort-style amenities, 20+ miles of trails, an on-site elementary school, and a home that fits your life right now at $299,000.
There are communities, and then there are communities. Santa Rita Ranch is one of those places where the amenities are so good that residents actually use them. Not just in the listing photos. In real life, on a Tuesday afternoon, with their kids.
Spread across 4,300 acres in Liberty Hill, this master-planned community has been built around one idea: that your neighborhood should feel like a destination. Multiple resort pools with waterslides. A fitness barn. Pickleball courts. A 1-acre playground. An F1 trike track. Food truck lots and BBQ barns. More than 20 miles of hike-and-bike trails winding through the Hill Country landscape. And an on-site elementary school that makes the morning routine a whole lot simpler.
And right now, a move-in ready, one-story home at 323 Zuma Drive is available in Santa Rita Ranch South for $299,000. Here is everything you need to know.
The Amenities, in Detail
Santa Rita Ranch is not a community with one pool and a mailbox area. It has four distinct amenity centers, each with its own personality, built for different moods and ages.
The Ranch House
A resort-style pool with two 18-foot waterslides, Big and Lil' Dip, plus a shaded Lookout Deck with Hill Country views. This one gets used on every hot weekend, which in Texas is most of them.
Ranch Camp
An 8-acre complex with multiple pools, a 1-acre playground, pickleball courts, and space to spread out. Think of it as the activity hub for the community, especially for families with younger kids.
The Paddock
A resort-style pool, a lap pool, a tot pool, a shady playground, covered pickleball courts, and the F1-themed trike track. One of those amenity spaces where you can send the whole family and everyone finds something.
The Hub
A pool with cabanas, a BBQ Barn, a food truck lot, and The Green for gathering. The clubhouse hosts community events throughout the year, including the annual Santa Rita Day celebration.
20+ Miles of Trails
Hike-and-bike trails wind through the natural Hill Country landscape connecting neighborhoods, amenity centers, and open space. This is the kind of infrastructure that becomes part of your daily routine.
The Wellness Barn
A dedicated fitness space for residents. No separate gym membership needed, and no drive across town to get there.
An on-site elementary school is not a small thing.
Santa Rita Elementary sits right inside the community. For families with young kids, that means a shorter morning, a familiar walk or bike ride to school, and a connection to the neighborhood that goes beyond just living here. The community feeds into Santa Rita Middle School and Legacy Ranch High School, both in Liberty Hill ISD.
LHISD is one of the fastest-growing districts in the state and has continued to build new facilities to keep pace. If you are relocating from out of state and researching schools, this district is worth a close look.
Now Available: 323 Zuma Drive
Built in 2021 in Santa Rita Ranch South, this one-story home has a layout that actually works. The kitchen, living room, and dining area flow together in an open plan that keeps everyone connected, whether that means keeping an eye on the kids while making dinner or just having a space that feels bigger than its square footage suggests.
The kitchen is the kind you actually want to cook in: quartz counters, a gas range, a central island with bar seating, white shaker cabinetry to the ceiling, and a walk-in pantry. The photos show exactly what it looks like, and it is as good in person. The primary bedroom is tucked away from the other two rooms for a little privacy, with a walk-in closet and an ensuite bath. There is also a dedicated study or home office, which is a real feature in a home this size.
The backyard is fenced and ready for whatever you want to do with it, whether that's a patio, a garden, a play set, or just some grass. HardiPlank siding, full gutters, and a 2-car garage round it out.

The Bigger Picture
Santa Rita Ranch sits right along SH-29 in Liberty Hill, putting you 25 minutes from Cedar Park and about 35 to 40 minutes from downtown Austin on a clear day. That is the tradeoff for what you get here, and for most families, it is an easy one to make. What is coming to Liberty Hill in the next year or two, including a Walmart Supercenter, P. Terry's, Whataburger, and Waffle House, means fewer reasons to make that drive at all.
The HOA covers access to all four amenity centers, the trails, parks, and community events. Somewhere between $1,200 and $1,800 a year for that level of infrastructure is a real value compared to what a comparable gym membership, pool club, or recreation center would cost separately.
This is a community that was designed to be lived in, not just marketed. The difference shows.
Santa Rita Ranch comes up constantly in buyer conversations, and it's not hard to see why. When I walk clients through the amenities here, the reaction is almost always the same: they did not expect it to be this good. The trails, the pools, the elementary school right in the neighborhood. For families, this community checks boxes that most places around here simply do not.
323 Zuma Drive is a well-priced, move-in ready home in a community that genuinely delivers on what it promises. If you want to schedule a showing or just want to talk through whether Santa Rita Ranch is the right fit for your family, reach out. I would love to help.
