Preferred Builders Tour Showcases Craftsmanship at Cordillera Ranch

By:
Gary Short, Director of Real Estate Sales

Spring 2026 marked a milestone moment for Cordillera Ranch, as our bi-annual Preferred Builder Home Tour welcomed its largest audience to date. Nearly 400 guests gathered to experience a remarkable day filled with architectural excellence, inspired design and the signature craftsmanship that defines our community.

Guests explored eight exceptional homes set throughout the Ranch, each offering a unique perspective on luxury living while blending Hill Country beauty with innovative design and thoughtful detail.

Six of Cordillera Ranch’s Preferred Builders came together to present this curated collection, each bringing a distinct vision to life. From Paul Allen Custom Homes’ refined and award-winning residences to Garner Homes’ warm, inviting spaces, every builder offered a unique interpretation of craftsmanship and livability. Lifestyle by Stadler introduced bold architectural elements, while Pasadera Builders balanced timeless design with a fresh perspective. Todd Glowka Builder and Burdick Custom Homes rounded out the tour with homes that seamlessly blended comfort, elegance and connection to the surrounding landscape, creating a diverse and inspiring showcase from start to finish.

Among a field of extraordinary homes, Paul Allen Custom Homes achieved a standout sweep of top honors. Their residence at 357 Vaquero Pass earned both Best Home and Best Kitchen, while 200 Cordillera Ridge was recognized for Best Outdoor Space — an impressive testament to their vision and execution.

The day concluded with a signature Cordillera Ranch tradition as guests gathered poolside at the Clubhouse for a relaxed and inviting happy hour. Against the backdrop of a Hill Country sunset, attendees enjoyed exceptional food and drinks from the Club while continuing conversations with our Preferred Builders. It was the perfect setting to reflect on the day’s highlights, share inspiration, and connect in a setting that embodies the lifestyle Cordillera Ranch offers.

We extend our sincere congratulations to all six builders for their exceptional contributions to this year’s tour. Their dedication, creativity and attention to detail continue to elevate the standard of living at Cordillera Ranch and make each Preferred Builder Home Tour a truly unforgettable experience.

We invite you to explore and enjoy the outstanding homes that made this spring’s tour one of our most successful yet.

Previously, The Cordillera Ranch Realty office put together an annual Cordillera Ranch-wide report on the overall real estate market, including, but not limited to, lot and home sales, along with a look at the status of new home construction throughout the community. It’s great information, but by the time we reach the summer, there’s a chance that a fair amount of that data is outdated.
