For more than four decades, Burdick Custom Homes has been a name synonymous with excellence in San Antonio’s luxury home market. Their portfolio spans from rustic Hill Country retreats to sleek contemporary estates. Yet one thing never changes: the meticulous craftsmanship, uncompromising quality and client-first approach that define every project.

Burdick homes are tailored to harmonize with their surroundings and reflect each client’s lifestyle. The process is collaborative from start to finish, ensuring every detail, from the foundation to the smallest finish, meets the highest standards. Thoughtful integration of luxury amenities, timeless materials and innovative technology creates spaces that are as functional as they are breathtaking.

Having built over 100 houses in Cordillera Ranch, this commitment is on full display. Across a spectrum of designs, each Burdick residence blends artistry with livability, creating spaces that inspire awe while feeling effortlessly like home. The following homes showcase this philosophy. Each is unique in style, yet united by the same dedication to excellence.

A Statement kitchen: The Heart of the Home, Elevated

A massive island with bar-height and table-height seating anchors the kitchen’s social energy, surrounded by two-toned maple and rift oak tambour cabinetry. Quartzite waterfall-edge counters and a continuous backsplash make a bold design statement, while linear hardware echoes the inlays on the custom maple hood. A Sub-Zero®/Wolf® appliance package, complete with double ovens, is ready for any culinary ambition, and a caterer’s kitchen expands prep space with a secondary fridge, dishwasher, microwave and coffee bar. Under-cabinet and toe-kick lighting, large-format porcelain tile and a floating ceiling with Schonbek crystal pendants ensure that form and function are perfectly balanced.

Grand Entrance: A lasting First Impression

Black window and door packages stand in sharp contrast to warm travertine cladding, Belgard® pavers, and NewTechWood® composite tambour siding. A glass pivot door sets a dramatic entry, framed by stylized roof overhangs and a soffit cutout designed to funnel light into the study while accentuating the fountain. This is a front door that doesn’t just welcome. It impresses.

Rustic Bedroom: Cozy Meets Custom

A Douglas fir-clad and beamed ceiling sets the tone for this restful retreat, anchored by a Cavestone fireplace with a linear gas insert that doubles as a media mount. Barn-hung alder doors, automatic shades and floor-to-ceiling windows create a space that’s as functional as it is beautiful. Wood-look porcelain tile offers rustic character with modern durability.

Serene Game Room: Where the Hill Country Comes Inside

Clerestory windows and expansive sliding doors capture sweeping Hill Country views, while Douglas fir beams and a pitched, wood-clad ceiling bring rustic warmth overhead. Wood-tile floors extend to the flagstone pool deck, making the transition from indoor games to outdoor gatherings effortless. Every proportion, from window height to door placement, is intentional, ensuring the view is never compromised.

Contemporary Bathroom: Where Smart Luxury Meets Serenity

A spa-worthy retreat begins with the Kohler® Anthem Series smart shower, where preset temperatures and water features can be activated from a smartphone or bedside remote. A furr-down detail above the shower creates a more intimate feel that helps the space warm quickly while housing the rain shower head above. Clerestory windows bathe the room in light while preserving privacy, and a Caesarstone® porcelain accent wall frames a modern freestanding tub. Floating maple cabinetry with a waterfall-edge counter, backlit mirrors and Schonbek crystal wall sconces complete the sophisticated look. Everyday convenience becomes indulgence with an en suite laundry setup, a Wolf® towel-warming drawer, and a coffee bar just steps from the shower. All perfect for starting the morning in comfort.

Transitional Bedroom: Views with a Touch of Glamour

Floor-to-ceiling windows frame the golf course, while layered lighting enhances the warmth of the wood floors. Instead of a ceiling fan, a statement chandelier adds elegance. A private patio offers a quiet escape, perfect for morning coffee or evening sunsets.

Modern Office: Sleek Design with Purpose

This workspace pairs openness with focus, thanks to top-track suspended sliding glass doors that eliminate floor tracks for an uninterrupted surface. A geometric coffered ceiling with LED accent lighting adds architectural drama, while black textured wallpaper creates depth and warmth. The room is prewired for remote-controlled shades and offers a clear view of the glass wine cellar — a reminder of the reward awaiting after a successful workday.

Covered Outdoor Entertaining Area: Indoor Comfort, Outdoor Beauty

Stacking, full-width sliding glass doors erase the boundary between the kitchen, dining and living spaces, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor flow. Guests can gather at an outside bar top that connects directly to the indoor bar via a first-of-its-kind Clopay VertiStack® glass door, which slides up into the ceiling like a modern garage door. The outdoor kitchen, shaded by a sleek metal pergola, sits beside a dining area for eight and a lounge anchored by a stacked-stone TV and fireplace wall. A partially covered spa with a waterfall edge cascades into the pool, flanked by swinging lounge chairs suspended over a tanning ledge. 

Hill Country Exteriors: Beauty Built to Last & Designed for the View

This terraced backyard and home layout is designed to envelop the lot, opening every room to golf course views. Mediterranean influences meet Hill Country charm, with the home’s angles and tiered layout creating a sense of openness that feels both grand and welcoming.

A barrel tile roof crowns a facade of Cavestone, stucco and Hardie® wood-look siding — all chosen for low-maintenance appeal without sacrificing charm. A walled courtyard offers privacy, while warm materials and inviting textures make the home feel like a natural extension of the surrounding landscape.
