Preferred Builders Tour “A tradition unlike any other.”

By:

Gary Short, Director of Real Estate Sales

While that’s a tagline usually reserved as reference to The Masters each spring in Augusta, GA, I’m referring to our annual Spring Preferred Builders Tour at Cordillera Ranch! This spring’s tour was quite an event with our six Preferred Builders — Pasadera Builders, Todd Glowka Builder, Garner Homes, Burdick Custom Homes, Paul Allen Custom Homes and Lifestyle by Stadler — showcasing the latest in custom building, architecture and design to nearly 300 guests on Saturday, April 6th.

Our bi-annual tour is always a great opportunity for folks to see what’s new in the world of custom homes, while providing guests with plenty of one-on-one time with each of our builders. Attendees also got the chance to vote for their favorites in three categories during the tour, making their choice for Best Home, Kitchen and Outdoor Space of the eight homes featured during the event. Each home featured stunning designs and impeccable craftsmanship, known to ALL our Preferred Builders, so the decisions faced by our voters were tough to make.

Coming out on top with Best Home was Paul Allen Custom Homes’ model, Highpoint, at Cordillera Ridge. Highpoint sits atop a spectacular ridgeline with 20+ mile views across the Hill Country and Guadalupe River Valley. In addition to winning best home, Paul Allen took home the award for Best Kitchen as well. The champ for Best Outdoor Space was won by Todd Glowka with his incredible custom residence on Spyglass Hill in Clubs Village.

Congratulations to our winners and to all our Preferred Builders for a great Spring Tour!

Early Year Activity

The tremendous turnout for our Spring Home Tour doesn’t come as a surprise, rather more of a continuation of early-year real estate momentum. Our CR Realty office has seen continued growth since the beginning of this year, with impressive activity amongst Developer-offered homesites and resale homes listed through our office. Since the existing home inventory market remains in tight supply, many of our buyers have opted to pick-up a homesite and custom build rather than waiting for more homes to come online — a sentiment echoed amongst many of the people we saw during the Preferred Builders Tour. With an impressive and diverse selection of sites currently available, and the busy spring season now upon us, we expect to see continued interest as we move into the summer months.

2026 Mid-Year Market Recap

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.

From Napa to the Club: A Season of Wine & Fall Celebrations

In this installment, I would like to recall what a wonderful time I had in Napa this past June. It was an amazing trip that I was able to share with Michael McClellan, our F&B Director, and Isaac Cantu, our Executive Chef. This happened to be Isaac’s first trip out there.
