This home in the Marble Falls area, built by Cactus Companies, is featured in the 2016 Hill Country Builders Association Parade Home Tour. This will be the final weekend of the showcase. Tickets are $10 per person.
Ten of the finest homebuilders throughout the Texas Hill Country are showcasing beautiful, fully furnished, landscaped and decorated custom homes in the final weekend of the 2016 Hill Country Builders Association (HCBA) Parade Home Tour, Friday-Sunday, Oct. 21-23.
The tour opens doors to lakefront, ranch living, historic Fredericksburg remodeling, Classic American Farmhouse and reclaimed timber frame homes.
Six homes in the Fredericksburg and Johnson City area, along with four in the Highland Lakes region, make up this year’s Tour . All Parade Home Tour homes range in cost from $450,000 to $2 million.
“The Parade showcases the premier home builders of the Texas Hill Country,” Jayne Mortensen, executive director of the Hill Country Builders Association, said. “They offer the newest in home design, technology and building trends.”
The homes in the Fredericksburg area include a stunning 1929 whole house remodel with green-built construction which is located in the downtown area; a beautiful classic American farmhouse-style home complete with vintage, reclaimed–timber construction; an enchanting log-and-timber home used as an office and design center with 18th Century reclaimed lumber beams and logs; a two-story traditional historic-style Fredericksburg home which has a charming English pub in it; a striking modern farmhouse on a ranch with views of Enchanted Rock; and a large cliffside ranch home with a spectacular 180-degree view of the Pedernales River near the site of an early settlers’ wagon crossing. In the Highland Lakes, the Parade features four homes, including an impressive Lake LBJ family recreation compound with water views from every room in the main house and detached bunkhouse; a delightful modern beach-style townhome on the water; a contemporary home with wraparound porches for panoramic views on The Peninsula at Lake Buchanan; and a lakeside 5,000-square-foot modern architecture masterpiece with multiple outdoor living spaces.
One great addition to this year’s Tour is two of the homes are for sale.
