Custom Home Builder in Independence

Independence is one of the oldest settlements in Texas, now a scattering of historic ruins, nineteenth-century buildings, and beautiful land north of Brenham.

Sam Houston’s wife is buried up the road. That is the neighborhood.

History and open land

Independence sits on FM 390 north of Brenham, where Baylor University was founded and where the ruins of the old campus still stand. What draws people now is the same thing that drew them then: rolling land, old oaks, and quiet.

We build custom homes and retreats on acreage in the area. Where a project sits near the historic sites, the design conversation starts with what belongs on that road rather than what is popular elsewhere.

What Building In Independence Involves

Permitting, utilities, and ground conditions differ from one place to the next. These are the questions we answer before design begins, so there are no surprises later.

01
Historic character

Building near sites this old calls for restraint: proportion, roof form, porch depth, and materials that read right next to buildings a century and a half older.

02
Rural utilities

Septic permitted through Washington County, a well or rural water supply tap, and propane. All three get scoped and priced before the foundation is designed.

03
Siting on rolling land

Prevailing breeze, tree cover, drainage, and the view from the porch decide the house here. We spend the time on it before we spend your money on plans.
