Johnson City, TX
Spec Home Builder in Johnson City,
Texas Hill Country.
Johnson City sits at the heart of the Texas Hill Country — 50 miles west of Austin, surrounded by live oak, cedar, and limestone. It's the county seat of Blanco County and the gateway to Pedernales Falls State Park, Lyndon B. Johnson's boyhood home, and some of the most dramatic Hill Country terrain in the state.
ClearBuild Texas's current flagship spec home — the 464 Ranch Lot 5 — is located in the gated 464 Ranch community just outside Johnson City. The 3,560 SF single-story ranch home sits on a 5.06-acre private homesite with Hill Country views, a 3-car garage, and 748 SF of covered outdoor living.
We also build custom homes on private land throughout the Johnson City and Blanco County area. If you're evaluating land or looking for a builder in this market, we'd welcome a conversation.
"Johnson City offers something increasingly rare: genuine Hill Country character, room to breathe, and a community that hasn't been overrun. For buyers who want the real thing — not a Hill Country-themed subdivision — this is where to build."
