Custom home builder in Burnet, TX
Rustico Homes is a family-owned, third-generation builder based in Burnet. We design and build luxury custom homes across the Hill Country and Central Texas, on land you own or on one of our homesites.
Third-generation builder
Decades of building know-how handed down in our family.
A limited number of homes a year
The owners are on your job site every week.
Your lot or ours
Build on land you own or choose from our homesites.
Luxury custom homes built around how you live
A custom home shouldn't be pieced together from templates. Before a single room gets drawn, we learn how your family moves through a day: where you cook, host, work, and unwind. Then we design the plan from scratch, whether that means a home office with its own exterior door or a full multi-generational suite.
Custom floor plans for your family
Good design comes down to daily flow. We place windows to catch morning light, size hallways for real traffic, and balance shared spaces with private ones so the house works on an ordinary Tuesday.
Finishes that age well
Luxury lives in the things you touch every day. We use durable materials like hand-cut Texas limestone, rough-sawn timber beams, and custom cabinetry.

Our custom home building process
Building a custom home is a big project. We break it into five stages so you always know what happens next.
-
Initial consultation
A no-pressure conversation about your budget, your style, your land, and whether we're a good fit for each other.
-
Design and planning
We work out the floor plan, room layout, and rooflines with you, and check how sun and shade fall across the site before anything is final.
-
Budget and selections
You choose flooring, cabinets, fixtures, and stone. Every item is priced line by line, so costs don't jump later.
-
Construction
We handle grading, foundation, framing, and utilities. You get photo updates in the client portal and scheduled walkthroughs on site.
-
Final walkthrough
We go room by room with you, checking paint, trim, and every outlet. You get the keys when it's right.

Featured Rustico homes
Our recent Burnet builds lean toward family ranches with local limestone, wraparound porches, and heavy timber that matches the native oaks.
Around Marble Falls, we've finished several modern Hill Country homes with metal roofs, clean lines, and big walls of glass facing long canyon views.
Frequently asked questions
How much does it cost to build a custom home in Burnet, TX?
It depends on square footage, finishes, and how much grading your lot needs, so we don't quote guesses. You get a precise line-item budget during the design stage, before construction starts.
How long does a custom home take to build?
Most homes take 8 to 12 months from foundation pour to move-in. Very large properties or steep, rocky sites can take longer. The client portal keeps you current on the schedule every week.
Can I build on my own lot?
Yes. Much of our work is on land clients already own. We'll inspect the property, confirm utilities, check drainage, and help you position the house.
Do you provide custom floor plans?
Yes. Our contract architect draws every plan from scratch around how your family lives. There's no plan book to pick from.
What areas do you serve?
We build throughout the Highland Lakes, including Burnet, Marble Falls, Kingsland, Horseshoe Bay, Lake LBJ, Buchanan Dam, Smithwick, Spicewood, and Llano. We also build east toward Austin in Bertram, Liberty Hill, Leander, Cedar Park, Lago Vista, Georgetown, and Austin, and north in Lampasas, Killeen, and Harker Heights. If your land is somewhere else in Central Texas, ask us.
What makes Rustico Homes different from other home builders in Burnet, TX?
We're not a production builder. We limit how many homes we build each year, so our owners are on your job site every week. And we don't cut corners, because we want you to be happy to see us when we run into each other at the store.
