If you’re dreaming of a custom home nestled among the rolling hills, oak trees, and scenic views of the Texas Hill Country, you’re not alone. This region — from Boerne and New Braunfels to Fredericksburg and Comfort — continues to draw homeowners seeking space, serenity, and timeless architecture.
But one of the first questions we hear at Brad Moore Builders is:
“How much does it cost to build a custom home in the Texas Hill Country?”
Here’s what you need to know before you break ground.
- What Affects the Cost of a Custom Home in Texas?
No two custom homes are alike — and that’s the point. But that also means pricing can vary dramatically based on:
- Land: Do you already own property? Will you need a well, septic, or extensive site prep?
- Square Footage: Most Brad Moore homes range from 2,800 to 6,000+ sq. ft.
- Design Complexity: Vaulted ceilings, stone fireplaces, oversized patios, and smart home systems all impact budget.
- Material Quality: High-end finishes, custom cabinetry, natural wood and stone elevate both beauty and cost.
- Location: Labor and delivery costs vary from Fredericksburg to Spring Branch, Blanco, and beyond.
- What’s the Average Cost Per Square Foot?
In 2025, the average cost to build a custom home in the Texas Hill Country typically falls between:
$325–$425+ per square foot
At Brad Moore Builders, most of our clients invest between $900,000 and $2.5M, depending on lot condition, home size, and selections.
💡 Tip: Brad Moore Builders walks every lot before finalizing a budget so we can plan proactively — not reactively.
