Building in John Newcombe Estates

John Newcombe Estates is a gated New Braunfels neighborhood built around the John Newcombe tennis ranch and country club, and one we’ve built in. Homesites are smaller than in most of the neighborhoods we build in, and homes sit close to the courts, pools and clubhouse.

Smaller lots change the job. Setbacks, the neighborhood’s established look and the HOA’s standards all shape what fits, so the design has to make the most of every foot. Many lots are on city water and NBU sewer, which means no septic design, but the lot’s jurisdiction determines who issues the permits.

If you own a lot in John Newcombe Estates, or you’re choosing between lots, talk to us before you commit. We’ll walk it with you and tell you what it will take to build there.

What building in John Newcombe Estates actually involves

John Newcombe Estates is a close-knit, gated neighborhood with its own standards. Each of these shapes a build.

HOA standards

The neighborhood has a mandatory homeowners association with standards for new homes. We design to them from the start and plan the review into the schedule.

Smaller homesites

Lots here are smaller than typical Hill Country acreage. We design to the setbacks and make the most of the footprint, inside and out.

City water and NBU sewer

Many lots are served by city water and NBU sewer instead of a well and septic. We confirm service and tap fees for your lot early.

Who issues the permit

Whether your lot falls under the City of New Braunfels or Comal County decides the permitting path. We confirm it before design starts.

Fitting the neighborhood

Homes here share an established look. We design a custom home that fits in with its neighbors and still feels like yours.

Club membership

Home ownership has been tied to membership in the John Newcombe Country Club. Confirm current membership terms with the club before you buy.
