Where We Build
Custom homes across the Hill Country
We build custom homes out of two offices, one on Washington Street in Kerrville and one on FM 2093 in Fredericksburg. Most of our work is in Kerr and Gillespie counties, and we also build in Spring Branch, Mason, Junction, Llano and Marble Falls.
Most of our clients already own their land. Some have a few acres outside town, some have a ranch that has been in the family for years, and some are still looking. The first step is the same for all of them: we walk the property together.

The towns we build in
Kerrville and Hunt
Our main office is in downtown Kerrville, the Kerr County seat, where I-10 crosses Highways 16 and 27. Hunt is upriver, where the north and south forks of the Guadalupe meet.
Kerrville and HuntSpring Branch
Along US 281, north of Bulverde and west of Canyon Lake, with the Guadalupe running along its edge. Most land here falls under Comal County septic, floodplain and groundwater rules.
Spring BranchFredericksburg and Harper
Our second office is in Fredericksburg, the Gillespie County seat, and we have built at Boot Ranch and Vineyard Ridge. Harper is 23 miles west on US 290, near the headwaters of the Pedernales.
Mason
A small county seat on the Llano Uplift. People call it the Gem of the Hill Country because of the topaz found nearby. Expect ranch land and few neighbors.
Junction
The Kimble County seat, where the North and South Llano rivers meet, 52 miles west of Kerrville on I-10. South Llano River State Park is just outside town.
Llano
The Llano County seat, a granite town on the Llano River. Much of the land around it is hunting property.
Marble Falls
On Lake Marble Falls along the Colorado River, and the place most of the Highland Lakes area goes to shop. You will find lake-view lots and acreage around town.
Building out here is different
Hill Country land decides a lot of the budget before anyone draws the house. In Kerr County, a new domestic well needs at least 10 acres if the land was subdivided after August 2023, and it has to sit 75 feet from every property line. Every new septic system needs a county permit, no matter the acreage, and building in the 100-year floodplain takes a county floodplain permit.
Comal County has its own rules. Since June 2026, new subdivisions on septic there need lots of at least 5.01 acres when there is no public water. We check the rules for your county on every property before you commit to anything.
Already own land?
Pick a time on Steven’s calendar and send us the address. He’ll walk the property with you and look at where the water will come from, where the septic can go, whether any of it is in a floodplain, how the driveway gets in and how power reaches the house site. You’ll know what the land needs before you pay for plans.
Schedule a site walkStill looking for land?
We can help you find it. Tell us the area, how much land you want and what you plan to build, and we’ll look at properties with you. Before you close, we’ll walk the land and tell you what it will take to build there. Finding a floodplain line or a rock shelf costs a lot less before closing than after.

Do you build on land I already own?
Yes. Most of our homes go on land the client already owns, whether that’s a few acres outside Kerrville or ranch land farther west. If you’re still looking, we’ll walk a property with you before you buy it.
Can you help me find land?
Yes. Tell us the area, how much land you want and what you plan to build, and we’ll look at properties with you. Before you make an offer, we’ll walk the land and tell you what it will take to build there.
How far from Kerrville do you build?
We build most in Kerr and Gillespie counties, out of our offices in Kerrville and Fredericksburg. We also build in Spring Branch, Mason, Junction, Llano and Marble Falls. If your land is somewhere else in the Hill Country, give us a call.
What should I check before buying land in the Hill Country?
Start with water, septic, the floodplain, access, power, slope and rock. The rules change by county. In Kerr County, for example, a new domestic well needs at least 10 acres on land subdivided since August 2023, and every new septic system needs a county permit. We’ll walk the land with you and price those items before you close.
Do you handle the permits?
Yes. Septic permits, well registration with the groundwater district, floodplain development permits, driveway permits on county roads and city permits inside city limits are all part of our process.
