Custom homes in Whitewater Springs
Sixteen hundred gated acres on FM 1174 south of Bertram, bordering the Balcones Canyonlands National Wildlife Refuge. Lots run about 1.2 to 2.8 acres with a few past seven, there's a 16-acre fishing lake with a pier, and the community has its own water supply corporation so you don't drill a well.
Wildlife habitat, a private lake, and lots from an acre and a half.
Whitewater Springs is about ten minutes south of Bertram, twenty to Marble Falls and thirty to the Leander rail station. The community is gated with a POA managed by a professional company, an architectural control committee, building guidelines, dark-sky lighting rules and Firewise landscaping standards. It's a certified Community Wildlife Habitat, with part of the land set aside for endangered-species habitat.
Amenities are a 16-acre lake with a pier, a pool and cabana, a pavilion, nature trails and the Cow Creek waterfall. Water comes from the member-owned Whitewater Springs Water Supply Corporation, drawing on Trinity aquifer wells; new meters are subject to availability, and private wells are also allowed. Septic is per lot.
Schools are Burnet CISD, with Bertram Elementary a National Blue Ribbon campus. There's no city tax.
Building in Whitewater Springs
Whitewater Springs is a bring-your-own-builder community with real design review, which is our comfort zone. We prepare the ACC packet to the building guidelines, including the dark-sky lighting plan and the Firewise landscape zones, and the contract price waits for approval.
The first call we make on a Whitewater Springs lot is to the water supply corporation to confirm a meter is available. If it isn't, we budget a well honestly. Then the septic evaluation, then the house.

The same process we use everywhere, with what's specific to Whitewater Springs handled up front.
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.
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.
