Why Pecan Springs Represents the Best of Boerne Custom Home Living

Gated Exclusivity Meets Natural Beauty

Pecan Springs spans 310 acres of breathtaking Hill Country terrain, where gently rolling hills and mature native trees create the perfect backdrop for luxury custom homes. The gated entry provides both security and exclusivity, ensuring that your investment is protected while maintaining the serene atmosphere that makes this community so desirable.

What sets Pecan Springs apart from typical subdivisions:

  • Private 32-acre nature park with 2-3 miles of paved trails
  • Community pavilion and playground for family gatherings
  • Planned recreational spaces designed for Hill Country lifestyle
  • Thoughtful preservation of natural terrain and mature trees
  • Gated security providing peace of mind and exclusivity

The Sister Community Advantage

As the sister community to the established Anaqua Springs Ranch next door, Pecan Springs benefits from proven development success while offering fresh opportunities for custom home buyers. This means you get the confidence of a tested community concept with the excitement of being among the first to call this special place home.

Location benefits that matter:

  • Easy access to charming downtown Boerne shops and restaurants
  • Excellent schools including access to Northside ISD
  • Small-town feel in a growing Texas market
  • Minutes from San Antonio's medical centers, USAA, La Cantera, and The Rim
  • Perfect balance of rural tranquility and urban convenience

Space to Build Your Dreams

Here's what makes custom home builders and their clients excited about Pecan Springs: the homesites. At 1+ acres each, these extra-wide lots provide something that's becoming precious in today's market—space. Real space to design architectural elements that would be impossible on smaller lots. Space for that three-car garage, workshop, or guest house you've always wanted. Space for outdoor entertaining areas that take advantage of those Hill Country views. Space for privacy between you and your neighbors.

What 1+ Acre Lots Mean for Your Custom Home Dreams

Architectural Freedom Like Nowhere Else

When KC Custom Homes designs custom homes in Pecan Springs, we're working with a canvas that most builders can only dream of. These generous lot sizes mean we can create homes that truly capture the Hill Country aesthetic—think sprawling single-story designs that hug the natural topography, courtyards that bring the outdoors in, and outdoor living spaces that become seamless extensions of your home's interior.

Architectural possibilities on 1+ acre lots:

  • Circular driveways that create impressive arrivals
  • Detached guest quarters for visiting family
  • Workshops and hobby spaces tailored to your interests
  • Pool houses that become entertainment destinations
  • Expansive outdoor kitchens and entertaining areas
  • Private courtyards and garden spaces

Smart Home Integration in a Natural Setting

Our recent Best Home Automation award at the 2025 San Antonio Parade of Homes showcased how modern technology can enhance daily life without overwhelming a home's design. In Pecan Springs, the larger lots allow us to integrate smart home features that work with the natural environment.

Smart home possibilities include:

  • Automated irrigation systems that preserve native landscaping
  • Security systems providing peace of mind across larger properties
  • Climate control managing both indoor and outdoor entertaining spaces
  • Lighting systems that enhance safety and ambiance across expansive lots

Preservation of Natural Beauty

One of the most rewarding aspects of building custom homes in Pecan Springs is working with the existing landscape rather than against it. The mature trees and natural topography become design elements in your home's story. We've learned that the best custom homes in Hill Country settings are those that feel like they've always belonged there, and these generous lot sizes give us the flexibility to preserve the trees and views that drew you to the property in the first place.

The KC Custom Homes Difference: Your Vision, Unlimited Possibilities

Fully Customizable Builds—No Limitations

When we say "custom," we mean it. Unlike builders who offer modifications to existing plans, KC Custom Homes creates each home from the ground up based on your specific vision, lifestyle, and lot characteristics. Want a kitchen that opens to both indoor and outdoor entertaining spaces? We'll design it. Dreaming of a master suite that captures sunrise views over the Hill Country? Consider it done. Need a home office that's separate from family spaces but still connected to the main house? We'll make it happen.

Our approach starts with listening. During our initial consultation, we want to understand not just what you want your home to look like, but how you want to live in it. Do you entertain large groups or prefer intimate gatherings? Do you work from home and need dedicated office space? Are you planning for aging in place or future family growth? Your answers shape every aspect of the design.

Unlimited Floorplan Edits—Change Your Mind, We Adapt

Here's something that sets KC Custom Homes apart: we don't charge for plan revisions during the design phase. We know that seeing your ideas on paper often sparks new thoughts and refinements. Maybe you realize you want the kitchen island larger after seeing the initial layout. Perhaps you decide that guest bedroom would work better as a study. Or you fall in love with a design element from another project and want to incorporate something similar.

This flexibility is especially valuable in Pecan Springs, where the beautiful lots often inspire design changes as clients spend time on their property and envision how they want to live there. We've had clients completely reimagine their outdoor spaces after walking the trails in the nature park, and others who adjusted their home's orientation after experiencing the sunrise and sunset patterns on their specific lot.

Budget-Focused Communication—Transparency Throughout

Building a custom home is a significant investment, and we believe you should know exactly where your money is going at every step. Our budget-focused communication approach means regular updates on costs, clear explanations of how design changes affect pricing, and proactive discussions about options that can enhance value or reduce expenses.

During the design phase, we provide detailed cost breakdowns so you can make informed decisions about where to invest and where to save. Want to splurge on that chef's kitchen but keep the guest bathrooms simple? We'll show you exactly how those choices impact your overall budget. Interested in future upgrades like a pool or outdoor kitchen? We'll design and price the home to accommodate those additions down the road.

Hands-On Client Participation—Your Involvement Welcomed

We love working with clients who want to be involved in their home's creation! Whether you want to be on-site during key construction phases, have input on material selections beyond the initial design, or simply stay informed with regular progress updates, we encourage your participation.

Many of our Pecan Springs clients have become genuinely excited about the building process. They enjoy seeing their vision take shape, meeting the craftsmen working on their home, and making real-time decisions that enhance the final result. This collaborative approach ensures that when you get the keys to your new home, it truly feels like yours in every detail.

The Building Experience: From Vision to Reality in Pecan Springs

On-Site Consultations and Lot Analysis

Every Pecan Springs custom home project begins with walking your specific lot together. We examine the natural features—those beautiful mature trees, the way the land slopes, the best views, and how the lot relates to the community amenities. This on-site analysis becomes the foundation for a design that maximizes your lot's potential while respecting its natural character.

Our consultation process includes:

  • Detailed lot analysis and natural feature assessment
  • Discussion of lifestyle goals and design preferences
  • Preliminary design concepts based on lot characteristics
  • Budget planning and timeline development
  • Integration planning with community amenities

Integration with Community Features

Building in Pecan Springs means designing with the community's amenities in mind. Homes positioned near the nature park entrance might include mudrooms for returning from hikes or bike rides. Properties with trail access could feature outdoor showers or gear storage. Families planning to use the community pavilion and playground might want sight lines to those areas or easy walking access.

We've found that the most successful Pecan Springs homes are those designed to take advantage of everything the community offers while maintaining the privacy and exclusivity that drew clients to a gated community in the first place.

Timeline and Communication

Our building process in Pecan Springs typically takes 8-12 months from design completion to move-in, depending on the home's size and complexity. Throughout construction, you'll receive regular progress updates, photos of key milestones, and advance notice of decision points where your input is needed.

What to expect during construction:

  • Regular progress updates with photos and timeline adjustments
  • Advance notice of decision points requiring your input
  • Secure construction sites thanks to gated community setting
  • Careful attention to landscape preservation and final grading
  • Quality control inspections at key milestones

The gated community setting allows for secure construction sites and easier coordination of deliveries and subcontractors, which often helps keep projects on schedule. The natural beauty of the lots also means that landscape preservation and final grading require careful attention, and we build time for these important details into our construction timeline.

Why Now is the Perfect Time to Build Your Custom Home in Pecan Springs

A Growing Market with Exceptional Value

Boerne continues to be one of the fastest-growing areas in the San Antonio region, driven by its excellent schools, charming downtown, and Hill Country location. Pecan Springs represents an opportunity to establish yourself in this desirable market while lot selection is still available and before the community reaches full build-out.

The 1+ acre lots in a gated setting are becoming increasingly rare in the Boerne area, making Pecan Springs homesites particularly valuable. As more families discover the community's amenities and location advantages, demand for the remaining lots is likely to increase.

Award-Winning Builder, Proven Results

Our recent success at the 2025 San Antonio Parade of Homes—earning Best Home Automation, Best Floor Plan, and Best Kitchen awards—demonstrates the level of innovation and craftsmanship that KC Custom Homes brings to every project. These awards reflect our commitment to staying current with the latest in home technology, design trends, and functional living spaces.

With over 25 years of experience building custom homes in the San Antonio area and Hill Country, we understand what makes a home not just beautiful, but perfectly suited to Texas living. Our Pecan Springs homes incorporate everything we've learned about indoor-outdoor living, smart home integration, and the architectural styles that work best in the Hill Country setting.

The Lifestyle Investment

When you build a custom home in Pecan Springs, you're not just investing in real estate—you're investing in a lifestyle. The community's amenities, location, and natural beauty create an environment that enhances daily life in ways that typical subdivisions simply can't match.

Imagine starting your day with a walk through the nature park, working from a home office designed exactly for your needs, and ending with dinner on a porch that captures the sunset over the Hill Country. This isn't just a marketing promise—it's the reality that our Pecan Springs clients experience every day.
