Back in the early history of the Republic of Texas, that is before Texas joined the Confederacy and then the United States, a land rush began and lasted into the late 1800's. Included in this land rush were many German immigrants. They created settlements with names like Fredericksburg, New Braunfels, Gruene and many others. One settlement made famous by Texas country singers is Luckenbach, Texas. This area of south central Texas is affectionately called the "Texas Hill Country". These early immigrants to Texas made their living by farming and ranching. Homes were built using materials found right on the ground. Materials such as cypress wood, cedar, adobe brick and that familiar white limestone we today call "Austin Stone". The original homes were quite simple with straight roofs. These types of homes are still called the "Ranch Style". Nothing to do with beans. The German and Czech immigrants mixed some of their own personal influences such as elaborate mill work on the porches and gables. And of course, since Texas is the Lone Star State, the Texas Ranger Star became and still is a popular adornment. 

You won't find Texas Hill Country homes anywhere else but Texas. This is an architectural vernacular that's all it's own. However, during the past decade or so, "Neo-eclectic Texas Hill Country Contemporaries" have been appearing. Also, Korel Home Designs have been receiving more and more request for these very unique home plans. We are building a special section to our web site featuring the plans we have available of the "Neo-eclectic Texas Hill Country Ranch". We hope you enjoy it and mostly we hope you find the home of your dreams.

Keep in mind as you search for a house plan that exterior designs are pretty much all cosmetic. If you find a floor plan that you really like but it may not have the Texas Hill Country exterior style you like, let us know. Because we are wanting to build our collection of Hill Country home plans, we are willing to assist you at a special reduced rate.
