Rolling Oaks Home Prices
Homes in Rolling Oaks span a wide price range, reflecting the variety of lot sizes, home conditions, and acreage included with each property. You can generally find entry-level options in the $300,000 to $500,000 range on smaller parcels or homes needing updates, mid-range homes from $500,000 to $900,000 on larger lots with more improvements, and premium properties above $1 million for larger acreage or significantly renovated homes.
Price per acre is a useful metric in Rolling Oaks because the land itself is often a significant driver of the overall price. Your agent can help you compare recent sales and understand how the land component affects pricing on any specific listing you are considering.

What You Get with a Rolling Oaks Home
Rolling Oaks homes were mostly built between 1970 and 1990 and range from approximately 1,000 to 3,000 square feet, with 1 to 4 bedrooms and 1 to 2 bathrooms. The older construction means homes vary considerably in condition. Some have been fully renovated with updated kitchens, bathrooms, mechanical systems, and finishes, while others retain their original character and are priced to reflect that.
The lots are the standout feature. Properties of 2 to 5 acres give you substantial space and privacy. Properties of 5 to 12 acres give you room for livestock, a barn, a garden, or additional structures, and the kind of separation from neighbors that is simply not available in most suburban communities anywhere near Austin.
Many properties feature mature live oak and cedar trees, gravel driveways, ranch-style fencing, and that quintessential Texas Hill Country look. It is the kind of neighborhood where a neighbor might have longhorn cattle or goats — and in Rolling Oaks, that is very much considered a feature.
Wells, Septic, and What to Know Before You Buy
Most homes in Rolling Oaks are on private wells and septic systems. If you are buying rural property for the first time, this is an important difference from city living. Your water comes from a well on the property, and waste is handled by an on-site septic system. Both require periodic maintenance, but they also mean no monthly water or sewer bills.
During the due diligence period, you will want to have both the well and septic system inspected by professionals who specialize in rural property. Understanding the age and condition of these systems before closing is an essential step in any Rolling Oaks purchase. Your agent can recommend inspectors who do this work regularly in Driftwood and the surrounding area.
Internet and Utilities
Internet options in Rolling Oaks have improved significantly in recent years. Satellite internet (including Starlink) is available throughout the area, and some parts of the neighborhood have access to fixed wireless or fiber service. Coverage and speeds can vary by address, so verifying current options for any specific property you are considering is a smart early step.
Electric service is provided by Pedernales Electric Cooperative (PEC), which serves much of the Hill Country west of Austin.
Rolling Oaks Property Tax Rate
One of Rolling Oaks’ more compelling advantages for buyers is its property tax rate. The 2025 rate is 1.5528%, which is significantly lower than most communities inside Travis County. For buyers comparing Rolling Oaks to neighborhoods in South Austin, Southwest Austin, or even closer-in Hays County communities, the tax savings over time can be substantial.
| 2025 Tax Rate | 1.5528% |
| County | Hays County |
| Zip Code | 78619 (Driftwood) |

Why Buyers Choose Rolling Oaks
Buyers searching for acreage in this part of Driftwood typically compare Rolling Oaks against nearby communities like Sierra West and La Ventana. All three neighborhoods share the same Hill Country setting and Wimberley ISD schools, but Rolling Oaks stands out for its larger lot sizes, older tree canopy, and price points that reflect the age of the homes rather than premium new-construction pricing. For buyers whose priority is land — room for livestock, a barn, or simply the privacy that comes with genuine acreage — Rolling Oaks often wins that comparison. The mature live oaks and cedar trees, the established feel of a neighborhood built over decades, and the low 1.5528% tax rate combine in a way that newer communities in this part of Hays County simply cannot replicate yet.
What Makes Rolling Oaks Different?
Acreage lots from 2-12 acres. Low 1.5528% tax rate (2025). Wimberley ISD schools rated 7-9/10. Mature live oaks and cedar trees. Community pool and clubhouse. Established neighborhood with Hill Country character. 25 miles from downtown Austin.
