Custom home builder in the Highland Lakes

Young Homes builds custom homes in the Highland Lakes, led by President David Young, who has over 50 years of experience and over 350 homes built, and his son Sam Young, Owner and Vice President.

The Highland Lakes, the chain of lakes along the Colorado River northwest of Austin, offer everything from waterfront lots to hillside sites with long views.

Building in Highland Lakes

What to know before you build in the Highland Lakes

  • Waterfront and view lots

    A lake lot shapes the whole design, from how the home faces the water to how outdoor living areas step down toward it.

  • Hill Country terrain

    Slopes and limestone affect foundations and site work, so the lot is studied before the plans are drawn.

  • Full-time home or lake house

    Whether it's a primary residence or a weekend place, the plan follows how often and how you'll use it.
