The Communities We Build In

We work out of an office on FM 3159 at Canyon Lake and build across four counties of the Texas Hill Country. That radius is deliberate. We take on a limited number of homes at a time and keep the range close enough that we can actually stand on your site rather than manage it down a phone.

Below are the communities we build in, grouped by county — because the county is what determines who permits your build, who inspects it, and in a couple of cases whether anyone inspects it at all.

Canyon Lake — Our home ground, and where the office sits. Unincorporated county land: septic, wells, steep lakeview lots and architectural committees in most subdivisions.

New Braunfels — Where we built our reputation before the office moved. The Balcones Escarpment runs through town, so the ground under your slab changes depending which side of it you build on.

Spring Branch — Unincorporated, with bigger tracts than most. Out here the driveway, the power run and the water line are real budget lines before the house even starts.

Bulverde — An incorporated city whose mailing address reaches well beyond its limits. Which side of that line your lot sits on decides whether the City or the County permits your build.

Wimberley — Steep valley ground where Cypress Creek meets the Blanco River. Wells are permitted through a groundwater district, and the town’s dark-sky expectations shape exterior lighting.

San Marcos — The most regulated ground we build on, and reasonably so. Impervious cover limits over the Edwards recharge zone effectively size the house before design begins.

Blanco — Ranch country at the far edge of our range. Outside the city there is generally no building permit and no framing inspection, which makes who you hire the only real safeguard.

Seguin — The one place we build that is not Hill Country. The limestone gives out and you are on expansive clay, which changes foundation engineering completely.

People assume a Hill Country build is a Hill Country build. It is not. Permitting authority, water source, soil and inspection regimes all change at county lines, and sometimes at city limits inside them. This is the short version of what we carry between jobs.
