About the neighborhood

Creek tracts off FM 243 with light restrictions.

Bertram Creekside Ranches is a few minutes from town on FM 243. Current listings run six to nine acres and up, with the original phase on two-acre lots. The land rolls, with creeks and tree cover, and some tracts already have a well and electric in place.

Restrictions are light deed restrictions rather than a full HOA rulebook. Utilities are private well and septic, with Pedernales Electric for power.

Burnet CISD is the district.

Building in Bertram Creekside Ranches

This is straightforward acreage building: the county issues the development and septic permits, the deed restrictions set a few standards, and the land does the rest. We walk the tract for the creek line and the floodplain first, then the well and septic, then the house.

On the larger tracts we'll plan a barn or a shop alongside the house so the site works as a whole.

What building here with us looks like.

The same process we use everywhere, with what's specific to Bertram Creekside Ranches handled up front.

Step one

We walk the lot first.

Slope, trees, the view corridor, where the driveway can enter, where the utilities come in. We do this before drawing anything so the plan fits the land instead of getting squeezed onto it.

Approvals

We run the review packet.

Elevations, materials, the site plan, septic where it applies. Where there's an architectural committee we prepare and submit it, and the final contract price waits until it's approved.

During the build

One person to call.

A milestone schedule you can follow and a single point of contact for the whole build. See the eight steps.
