Based in Boerne, Texas
Serving the Texas hill country
Texas Highlands Custom Homes & Remodel builds custom homes in Bandera, the Cowboy Capital of the World and some of the most rugged, scenic ranch country in the Hill Country. Building here means working with real terrain, working land, and a Western character that many homeowners want reflected in their home. Every project runs through one team and one fixed price, from the first design conversation to the final walkthrough.
Bandera is ranch country, and many homesites are working or recreational properties rather than in-town lots. A home here often shares the land with pastures, livestock, outbuildings, and trails, so where the house sits and how it connects to the rest of the property matters. Texas Highlands Custom Homes & Remodel plans each home around how the owners use their land, siting the house for views, access, and privacy while keeping the working parts of the property in mind.
The land around Bandera is steeper and rockier than much of the region, and that terrain shapes what it takes to build. Sloped sites, limestone, and longer runs for access and utilities are common, and underestimating them is where rural builds go over budget. The team studies the land first, plans for rock, grade, and drainage, and chooses a homesite and foundation approach suited to the terrain, so the conditions are handled up front instead of mid-build.
A lot of Bandera homeowners want a home that fits its setting, whether that’s a classic ranch house, a hill country farmhouse, or something with stone, metal, and timber that belongs on the land. The team designs to the owner’s taste and the property’s character, balancing the look people want with the durability rural living calls for, so the home feels right where it sits and holds up to ranch country.
Bandera properties are typically off municipal utilities, so a well, septic system, and longer utility runs are part of the plan, along with any barns, shops, or outbuildings the owners need. Building also falls under Bandera County, with requirements suited to ranch and acreage properties. Texas Highlands Custom Homes & Remodel coordinates the infrastructure and handles the county permitting and inspections, confirming what applies to a specific tract before construction begins, so both the utilities and the paperwork are sorted from the start.
Pricing is settled before construction starts, and the number agreed on is the number that holds, which matters on land where site work can otherwise drive surprise costs. Each build is led by an in-house team rather than handed off, and homeowners see the home through selections and 3D renderings before it’s built, then get regular updates as work moves forward.
Along with Bandera, the team builds custom homes in Boerne, Comfort, Kerrville, Fredericksburg, Fair Oaks Ranch, and across the greater San Antonio area, including guest houses and casitas on many of these properties.

Ranch country rewards a home built to fit the land, and that starts with understanding the property before the design is set. Texas Highlands Custom Homes & Remodel walks the land, plans for terrain and infrastructure, and turns it into a clear plan and a fixed-price proposal.
