Luxury Custom Home Builder Westlake Hills, Barton Creek, Tarrytown, Lake Austin, and Lake Travis.
Creating Custom Homes as Distinctive as Austin’s Landscape
Every new custom home tells a story — one of vision, craftsmanship, and place. At Wilde Custom Homes, each residence is designed to reflect not only the homeowner’s lifestyle but also the natural beauty and architectural character of its surroundings. From the rolling hills of Westlake and Barton Creek to the lakeside vistas of Lake Austin and Lake Travis, every detail is tailored to fit seamlessly within Austin’s most beautiful settings.
Since 1983, Wilde Custom Homes has earned its reputation as one of Central Texas’s premier builders, led by founder Gery Wilde, an Environmental Engineering graduate from the University of Texas at Austin and a licensed professional engineer. His approach blends timeless design, advanced engineering, and sustainable construction techniques to create homes that are not only stunning but enduring.
Each project represents decades of experience and a clear philosophy: build homes that last, perform efficiently, and honor the land they stand on.
A Thoughtful Design Process from Vision to Reality
Building a new custom home begins with a conversation — about your goals, your property, and the way you live. Wilde Custom Homes guides clients through a comprehensive design process that ensures every home is unique, cohesive, and functional.
The process starts with lot evaluation and design development, where topography, views, and environmental conditions are studied to determine the ideal placement and structure. Then comes the architectural design phase, where form, flow, and aesthetics are defined. From there, material selections, energy systems, and interior finishes are refined in collaboration with the homeowner.
Wilde’s design–build model keeps everything under one roof — from architecture and interiors to engineering and construction. This means better coordination, faster decisions, and homes that perfectly match their original design intent. Every blueprint becomes a shared roadmap to a beautiful, lasting result.
Craftsmanship That Sets the Standard
A Wilde home is defined by craftsmanship at every scale — from the precision of its framing to the artistry of its finishes. Gery Wilde and his team work with Austin’s top subcontractors, artisans, and craftsmen, ensuring every component meets the company’s high standards.
Each residence features the kind of detailing that separates a good home from a great one: hand-finished millwork, expertly laid stone, and interior designs that feel both refined and livable. The same care is applied to structural integrity and performance — foundations are engineered for longevity, materials are selected for climate durability, and all systems are built for efficiency and comfort.
Because Wilde Custom Homes operates with a direct, transparent process, homeowners can expect consistent updates, realistic schedules, and results that exceed expectations.
Sustainable Design and Energy Efficiency Built In
Sustainability has always been at the heart of Wilde Custom Homes’ philosophy. As an active participant in the Austin Green Building Program, the company’s homes consistently achieve 4- and 5-star ratings for energy efficiency and environmental responsibility.
Each new custom home is constructed using high-performance materials and systems that improve energy use and indoor comfort. This includes advanced insulation, low-E windows, high-efficiency HVAC systems, and smart water management. Where desired, solar integration, renewable materials, and rainwater harvesting systems can be incorporated to further reduce environmental impact.
For clients in Lake Travis or Lake Austin, sustainable design also extends to the landscape and shoreline, ensuring that natural features are preserved and enhanced rather than disturbed.
