Plans have been announced for the development of a future (Southern Land Company) SLC home community in Texas Hill Country. The Tennessee-based national real estate developer, SLC recently acquired about 70 acres of undeveloped land in Dripping Springs, which will be used for building its high-end luxury 28-home project.
